Phish now has your quarantined Tuesday evenings covered with Dinner and a Movie: An Archival Video Series.
Beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, March 24th, Phish will air a full show in its entirety for free via LivePhish and on the band’s Facebook page beginning at 8:30 p.m. ET. The first show set to be featured is the band’s August 31st, 2012 performance at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, CO—otherwise known as the “F— YOUR FACE” show.
As the band explains in their announcement,
As for the Dinner part of the evening, cook along with us! You can find a recipe for Sue & Trey Anastasio’s “Between Me and My Mouth” Vegetarian Chili below. Please don’t feel the need to take a special trip to buy groceries to make this, and be smart regarding social distancing and staying at home. Feel free to post photos of your version of this dish, or share whatever you’re making. Tag us at #phishdinnerandamovie. We’ll post a different recipe every week.
In addition to the free webcasts and weekly recipes, Phish plans to use the Dinner and a Movie series to raise funds for important organizations. As the announcement explains,
In addition, we’ll select a non-profit doing important work right now, and all donations made via The WaterWheel Foundation that day will be given to that organization. You can donate any time at dry.gd/wwf. We have selected WhyHunger as our beneficiary for this webcast. WhyHunger provides critical resources to support grassroots movements and fuel community solutions rooted in social, environmental, racial and economic justice. During the COVID-19 crisis, it’s essential to protect food access for all people, especially those who are most vulnerable. For information about their organization, click here.

The members of Phish have already been helping brighten our isolated days during the ongoing social distancing. Trey Anastasio has released several new songs from his home, and Mike Gordon hosted a live bass lesson on his Instagram page on Friday night.
While festivals and tours everywhere continue to be in question due to the ongoing outbreak, Phish has yet to comment on the status of their scheduled summer tour.
