Phish played two 3-set shows plus a secret late-night Flatbed Jam at the decommissioned Plattsburgh Air Force Base in Plattsburgh, New York, across Lake Champlain from their native Vermont. This was an unprecedented gathering - a community pilgrimage that brought more than 70,000 to upstate New York. In addition to being a concert campout for the entire Phish Nation, The Clifford Ball introduced features like an onsite radio station, interactive art installations, a symphony orchestra, stunt planes, and other sensory treats that set the pattern for Phish and reinvented the landscape for festivals in the United States. The music rose to the occasion as the band crafted six stellar sets for the ages, complete with special guest acrobats and others, an acoustic mini-set, and a fireworks finale. The Clifford Ball was a tapestry of Phish’s nearly thirteen-year history up to that point condensed into 54 songs (and one 37-minute experimental jam). The festivities were recorded on audio and video and released by JEMP Records in 2009 as ‘The Clifford Ball’ DVD set. Now following the 25th anniversary of The Clifford Ball, JEMP presents ‘The Clifford Ball’ as a 12-LP vinyl set. This is the first time Phish has released a festival on vinyl. The vinyl box documents Phish’s landmark concert event, including both complete three-set shows (nearly eight hours of music). The album was mixed from the band’s multi-track tapes by Thom Cadley and remastered for vinyl by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. This also marks the release of The Clifford Ball audio at livephish.com and the public showing of the video as episodes 36 and 37 of ‘Dinner And A Movie - an Archival Video Series’ over the 2021 Thanksgiving weekend to benefit Meals On Wheels.   Old Home Place (Mitchell/Webb)* Punch You in the Eye (Anastasio) Reba (Anastasio) Cars Trucks Buses (McConnell) The Lizards (Anastasio) Sample in a Jar (Anastasio/Marshall) Taste (Anastasio/Fishman/Gordon/Marshall/McConnell) Fee (Anastasio) Maze (Anastasio/Marshall) Suzy Greenberg (Pollak) The Curtain (Anastasio/Daubert) Runaway Jim (Abrahams/Anastasio) It's Ice (Anastasio/Marshall) Brother (Anastasio/Fishman/Gordon/McConnell) Fluffhead (Anastasio/Pollak) Run Like an Antelope (Anastasio/Pollak) Golgi Apparatus (Anastasio/Marshall/Szuter/Woolf) Slave to the Traffic Light (Abrahams/Anastasio/Pollak) Wilson (Anastasio/Marshall/Woolf) Frankenstein (Winter)** Scent of a Mule (Gordon) Tweezer (Anastasio/Fishman/Gordon/McConnell) A Day in the Life (Lennon//McCartney)*** Possum (Holdsworth) Tweezer Reprise (Anastasio/Fishman/Gordon/McConnell) Harpua (Anastasio/Fishman)   All songs copyright Who Is She?
