LIVEPHISH.COM - 7/6/98 Lucerna Theatre, Prague, Czech Republic
Professionally Mastered MP3, FLAC and CD formats

Phish
Next Tuesday (3/25/08) JEMP Records will be releasing another of Phish's classic shows, 7/6/98 from the Lucerna Theatre in Prague, Czech Republic. In keeping with recent livephish.com releases this show has been mastered by Fred Kevorkian from Paul Languedoc's 2-track soundboard reference DATs. To save space, along with renting most of their gear while flying from city to city on the 1998 European tour, the shows were not recorded to multi-track.

This release will be available in both of our normal digital download formats, MP3 and FLAC, as well as on CD (packaged in an innovative and earth friendly, fully recycled folding softcase-pak). This release will not yet be available in stores but you can pick it up from both Phish Dry Goods (drygoods.phish.com/) and the LivePhish Download Store (www.livephish.com). Dry Goods and LivePhish.com will have bundle packages available, so you can save on both hard goods and downloads.

July 6, 1998 is the second of two shows Phish played at the Lucerna Theatre, an old theater turned into a music club located a few flights below street level in the Nove Mesto section of Prague. This show entwines music from the album "The Story of The Ghost" with Phish classics in a non-stop, hard-rocking performance elevated by its unique location and intimate setting. The intimacy of this show can not be overestimated - the average size of the venues Phish was playing at in the United States at the time were easily 20-30 times larger.

1. Buried Alive >

I used to have a bootleg video copy of the first set. It was shot with a camcorder from ten years ago and you can tell. My buddy burned me a copy of it, does anyone know anywhere else to find it?

The Piper on here is without a doubt, my favorite. I am so happy this is coming out. What a great show.

Where's the Phish dvd archive!?! Didn't anyone bring videos recorders? Come on livephish.com we can enjoy the experience soooo much better with great footage. Let alone see Trey before he turned into a trendy a$$.

this is exciting, and I can't wait to hear it mastered, however it would be nice if they released more of the video downloads from the mid 90's - i can't get enough of those!!!

Nice- Please release more euro shows!! I did the 4 show Italy run in Feb 1997 in sweet theaters and one disco. Italy has its own "Fillmore" in Cortemaggiore for the last Italian show and they tore it up--Fluffhead>Frankenstien>David Bowie 1st set closer. Amore!

As much as I love Phish, and trust me, it's a lot, if there were every an award given out for the ugliest band in the world, phish from their earlier to mid 90 days would be a front runner for sure.

I was at both shows, Trey forgot the words to Fee the first night. The second night rocked. Love Prague.

I was at both shows, and most people agreed that they delivered a fantastic show on 7/6 largely because the show on 7/5 was terrible. Trey was definitely drunk - he flubbed words. The band was just not syncing. So they came out kicking on 7/6, and slammed it home. It was a great show.

I also don't like to single out a single song in a phish setlist, but this ghost is unreal. Check it out on youtube too, it is sick

i was front row center at this gig...the most amazing of the 79 shows i caught. The energy from the Piper is palpable. I am buying the FLACs the second they become available.

I do have a copy of the video of this show that someone shot - i believe you can find it on some bit torrent boards...but support the band and buy this show: one of the best shows ever to take place (at least in my opinion)

Hope you all can enjoy it - and i think livephish lets you buy single tracks too...so buy that Piper and be glad you listened to me!

I really wish they would release one of the 3 Barcelona, Spain show from 98. They were a blast and minus that sound problem on one night, they were incredible. One of only 2 times they ever played Blister in the Sun. The other was in Austin.

I want them to release more of the shows in the Livearchives like the show they did in Italy during the Europe tour like the sunday show on February 23, 1997 at the

Fillmore in Cortemaggiore Italy

Set I: Carini, Axilla > All Things Reconsidered, The Sloth, Love Me, Rift > Fluffhead, Frankenstein, David Bowie

Set II: Daniel, Suzy Greenberg, Maze, The Horse > Silent in the Morning, Peaches en Regalia, Mike's Song, Why Don't We Do It in the Road > HYHU, Good Times Bad Times

Encore: Billy Breathes, Rocky Top

97 undoubtedly the best jammy year in Phish history. I miss phish. No band will ever compare to them.

I mostly get on this board every day hoping that the lead story of the day will be the next Phish tour. I go to all these festies and shows, listening to sick live Phish shows on the way there and back. I mean, even the bad shows after hiatus are just better than everything else.
