Phish have announced a special concert at Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction, Vermont next Wednesday to benefit flood recovery in the state in the wake of Hurricane Irene. Vermont was especially hard hit by the hurricane, with the state suffering the worst flooding in its history, resulting in significant damage to many of its communities.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
