Video: Phish Performs “Fluffhead” At Clifford Ball

2/26/09, 5:02 pm EST

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.

How many errors can RS fit into one blurb? Is it 7 DVD’s or 9? Did they play 3 sets or 6? Yikes! Betcha RS would get Cyrus, Jonas, Swift and Gomez info correct…

Great show! This was the last Phish show I ever attended. The apex for me – I saw them many times in Vermont and they were just too large. After Clifford Ball, they belonged to the World.

“Is it 7 DVD’s or 9″

actually they said it was 7 DVDs and over 9 hours….

The video clip is excellent – thank you, Rolling Stone! I’m just discovering how well your website supplements the magazine. …And maybe I’ll spend my economic stimulus with Phish.

How about a Phish cover on RS? RS seems to have admitted missing the boat on ACDC coverage in their recent cover issue, and they do the same with Phish and the jamband scene, in general. Despite generally excellent political coverage, the mainstream music, gossip, and fashion coverage is kind of a turn-off, and the reason RS has not been my favorite musical rag to get in the mail in decades.

The best live band on the planet is back and about to destroy everything in its path. You were warned.

PHish is back!!! I am so excited about this reunion tour. Since they retired I have has nowhere to get my daily dose of 10 minute long self-aggrandizing guitar solos, Madlibs inspired lyrics, and faux hippie accessoire.

Dude. Sweet.

this article is twice as long as the review in the mag. We see why too, who’d you get your info from Hellen keller? Way to alienate an entire genre of music fans RS!!!

Why did they cut of the best part of the song?

I was at the Clifford Ball in ‘96 with Mad Mike and Quazi. Quazi ate some magic fungus he got from a girl who looked like marsha brady. Quazi wasn’t really ever the same after that.
