My brother-in-law told me of a Phish concert he went to in Tennessee in the early 1990's in which he swears Alison guest appeared. I can't imagine the combination. Does anyone know anything about this?

Bluegrassron,
I have a recording of that performance. It was on May 3, 1994 at the Starwood Amphitheatre in Antioch, TN. She sang the song she sang on the "Hoist" album - "If I Could". If you are a Phish fan you probably know that Alison sings pretty mellow in the background on the album version. In the live version she comes through much stronger. Maybe it was the way they had the mics adjusted or maybe Alison just decided to sing it out that time. And as I recall the crowd goes crazy when Alison sings her little part "Stay with me...". Also, it is an extra long version of the song with great instrumentals toward the end. If you haven't heard this song you really have missed another amazing side of Alison's talent. Anyway I have the performance somewhere and would post it for everyone to hear. Unfortunately I have no idea where it is, but will do a little looking. I guess it goes like the song - "If I could, I would" post it!

Hah! Thanks for everything you do for us! It's really appreciated. I haven't ever heard of Phish, but I'm pretty interested now. That's something I'm so grateful for from these boards. They've brought me to discover many artists because of discussions.. ones that I would later grow to love. Thanks again, Doug.

Doug,
My brother-in-law can't believe that you have a copy of that performance. He and a group of 20 of his friends were all at the concert and remember Alison singing it. Most of them had never heard of her until that night, but he says each one of them remembers her singing the song.
I look forward to you posting it. My Brother-in-law is now checking your site to see if you have it up as a new post.
Ron

I'm still looking. It's been a couple years since I've listened to it so I hope that I have not built it up in my mind to be better than it is. I'll keep looking and let everyone know when I find it and let the board be the judge.

Would you mind sending it to me too, girl?? Thanks so much for the offer.
That's so neat to hear, bluegrassron. I think that just sounds like the power of an Alison performance. There are some songs that I've heard Alison do live, and even without having it on audio, it's still implanted in my mind on just how great it was. Looking so forward to that performance if you can find it, Doug. Thanks so much!
Thanks, akus121492! I'll send it on over to ya when I get back to my own puter.

OK Bluegrassron...I posted the live performance of Alison with Phish. Hope your brother-in-law has memories brought back by listening to it. Just like I said earlier, Alison comes through better on the live performance than on the actual studio recording. Let me know what you think? The crowd definitely liked Alison.

Doug, Thanks alot for your new post.Lovely tune, but I think Alison could get a little bored with the lyrics. The tunes she looks for and finds are somewhat more intelligent. I'm sure she enjoyed herself immensley, because she loves and does all kinds of music. It's just I don't think it's a tune she herself would put in an album. That's what makes all your offerings so special. We get to hear Alison do all kinds of different styles. Thanks again and keep them coming.
