Phish-Heads can experience band with CD release ‘A Live One’
J. Daniel Pearson
f or tha Oregon Dotty Emerald
A simple melody drifts from a guitar,
bounces around the room, spirals down
toward the happily dancing crowd, splits
open and melts into everyone's oars
The music slowly crescendos and ris
es from the stage in a rainbow of sound.
The sound is as soothing as a bedtime lul
laby and takes the listener on a delicate
ride, like a leaf across a tranquil pond.
The band continues to build its sound
painting into an unbelievable climax,
drawing its energy from an audiont e that
will be exhausted by night's end. Sud
denly the band pulls out into deliberate
chaos before settling bock into a ret og
