Hi Everybody, and welcome to Attendance Bias!
My guest today is the Editor-in-Chief of The Recount, Slade Sohmer. Slade chose to discuss Phish's legendary show on February 28, 2003 at the Nassau Coliseum.
Soon after I launched this podcast, a friend of mine shared it on the journoPhish email listserv. It wasn't long before I received messages from members of that listserv, asking if they could appear on the show. I was thrilled that Attendance Bias was starting to resonate with fans outside of my immediate circle of friends.
As Slade and I messaged back and forth to narrow down which show to discuss, two things became clear: First, he has impeccable taste in Phish, especially with shows that took place in the Chicago-land area; Second, he and I had A LOT in common when it came to our Phishy upbringings. It was like chatting with an old friend. After hearing about our early shows and love of the band, Slade decided on the Nassau '03 show from their February "comeback" tour, one of the tentpoles of the 2.0 era.
With the long-awaited return of "Destiny Unbound," a big-time "Tweezer," an ascendant "Walls of the Cave," and much more, please enjoy my conversation with Slade Sohmer of The Recount.
Enjoy!
