Video: Phish Performs "Fluffhead" At Clifford Ball

Fresh off the news that veteran jam institution Phish will be reuniting for a series of summer dates, Rhino is set to release the seven-DVD Phish box set, The Clifford Ball. The collection covers the two-day concert held in upstate New York in 1996, the first of seven huge outdoor music festivals thrown by the band. The DVDs feature over nine hours of performance covering all three sets, as well as a slew of bonus jamming. In its latest issue, Rolling Stone's Kevin O'Donnell writes, "This is the most comprehensive DVD the jam kings have released yet."

Get a sneak peek of one of the seven DVDs above. Our video of "Fluffhead" features the band playing the jaunty number from 1988's Junta, complete with three-part harmonies, plenty of blacklights and solos galore.

“Weird”

Hanson | 1997

Accomplished tunesmith Desmond Child co-wrote "Weird" with the three brothers that make up Hanson. Credited for dozens of cuts, including songs by Kiss, Cher, Bon Jovi and Aerosmith, Child told Rolling Stone that "Weird" holds a special place in his heart, "because it's about being different--and I grew up poor, I grew up being Latin, I grew up being gay, and now I'm fat!" The song was included on Hanson's 1997 album Middle of Nowhere, which sold more than ten million units.
