Phish ‘Dinner and a Movie’ Ep. 11 – 7/26/13 – The Gorge – Full Show
The meal portion for this week’s show comes from keyboardist Page McConnell. This contribution is just slightly more adventurous than his week three tuna fish sandwiches and comes in the form of red beans and rice.
Tuesday’s 11th episode of Dinner and a Movie follows the 8/31/12 “F— You Face” show, the 7/27/14 Merriweather “Tweezerfest”, the 7/25/17’s Baker’s Dozen “Jam-Filled” night, Magnaball night two (8/22/15), last year’s first night at Mohegan Sun (7/19/19), the first night of the band’s 2016 Halloween run in Las Vegas (10/28/16), the final night of 2017’s Mexican destination event (1/15/17), the opening night of their 2018 Alpharetta run (8/3/18), the summer 1997 United States tour opener (7/21/97), and the second night of the band’s 2018 New Year’s Eve run (12/29/18).
This week’s recipe is one of the simplest so far, which is thoughtful considering the band’s note to fans not to go to the store specifically for DaaM ingredients. In a preamble to the recipe, McConnell stated,
This week I’ve decided not to do anything that resembles a sandwich. Instead, I’ve chosen one of my favorite recipes for Red Beans & Rice.
Now, I know that I will be hearing from some purists that this isn’t anything like what you might find at Mothers, or any of my favorite dining establishments in New Orleans. To them I would say that this recipe is not trying to replicate something, or transport you somewhere else; It is more of an interpretation. Anyway, I like it, and I hope you do too.
For episode 11 of Dinner and a Movie, Phish has chosen ArtsFund as their non-profit beneficiary. As the announcement notes,
For 50 years, ArtsFund has built community through the arts via leadership, advocacy, and grant making. ArtsFund launched the COVID-19 Arts Emergency Relief Fund to provide short-term relief to western Washington arts organizations which have been devastated by the public health emergency.
