Mule-O-Ween 08

Show #122 – Release date: 14. November, 2008

Halloween has always been a flagship holiday in the jam band community, second only to New Year’s Eve. And with a band like Gov’t Mule, expecting something special is more than fair. Phish are attributed with getting the Halloween spirit going in the jam world with a performance of The Beatles’ The White Album in its entirety on 10.31.94. Years later, we’ve seen costumes and covers of all colors and genres. But, on Halloween 2008, Mule outdid themselves with a second set packed full of Pink Floyd tunes from throughout the psychedelic pioneers’ career.*

Covers 2.0

Show #117 Release date: 07. September, 2008

Sorry for the slight delay on getting this one out.  Getting used to my new work schedule is proving to be more difficult than I thought.

For this podcast I decided to revisit an old theme previously done on show #60, “Covers” but this time I reach a little deeper in the bag for some more obscure and new Floyd songs covered by other artists.  Here’s the playlist!

Phish Phloyd

Show #64, Release date: 2. August, 2006

Since the “Covers” podcast, I’ve had many people ask about Phish’s performance of Dark Side of the Moon.  So I decided to whip up a quick-cast of this performance in its entirety recorded on 2. November, 1998.  Maybe we should call these special, shorter podcasts of Brain Damage, “Brain Stroke?”

Covers

Show #60, date: 23. June, 2006

This special edition of Brain Damage includes covers of favorite Pink Floyd tunes performed by other major recording artists.  I’m very picky when other people cover Floyd music but I enjoy all these bands individually.  Nick Mason feels innovative covers are more preferable to tribute bands.  You be the judge.  Here’s the playlist!
