Reprise Band: Recreating Iconic Phish Shows on the East Coast
Reprise Band, a Phish cover band endorsed by Tom Marshall and based on the East Coast, recently recreated two iconic Phish shows that originally took place in New Jersey. The band, consisting of members from various well-known bands, performed a show that mirrored the 7/4/00 Phish concert at The Homestead in Morristown. This Independence Day show featured patriotic elements, including a rendition of the "Star-Spangled Banner" and a fireworks display, culminating in a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Good Times Bad Times."
One of the highlights of the 7/4/00 show was a remarkable 30-minute version of "Gotta Jibboo," which has remained a fan favorite over the years. Reprise Band's performance at The Homestead paid homage to this memorable Phish concert. The band's recreation captured the essence of the original show, delighting fans with their rendition of the classic setlist.
In another tribute to Phish's New Jersey roots, Reprise Band recreated the 5/3/93 show that took place at the State Theater in New Brunswick. This intimate performance featured unique elements, such as Trey Anastasio's playful narration during "Fly Famous Mockingbird" and a lengthy set of crew introductions during "Love You." The evening concluded with a cappella renditions of "Memories" and "Amazing Grace," followed by a cover of AC/DC's "Highway To Hell."
Reprise Band's dedication to recreating these iconic Phish shows has garnered them a loyal following. Fans can catch the band at upcoming shows in various East Coast locations, including Westport, CT, Topsham, ME, and Gloucester, MA. The band's tour schedule includes performances in New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, leading up to a two-night run at Brooklyn Bowl in November. Additionally, Reprise Band will premiere a full, pro-shot video of their recreation of the 4/4/98 show at FTC StageOne on August 19th via their YouTube channel.
