It pains me to learn that will once again be pairing up with of and of to perform instrumental jazz rock versions of Led Zeppelin songs, but I won't be able to attend. There are going to be two shows, one is a post-Lollapalooza show on , the second, the original scene of the crime for me, will be on the . I was at the and it remains to this day one of the most incredible live music shows I've ever seen.
Unfortunately, I've never been able to obtain a copy of that show, but the .
I won't be able to attend either of these shows because they are far away on a Monday night. It's too bad, if that NYC show was on a Friday or Saturday, I'd definately head up there for that.
It would be a great way to start off the the week. If you're in the area for either of these shows, I highly recommend it.

It's so you've probably already heard, but two big news items came out of an interview with on the station on Thursday.
First, , Trey and Mike will be going on tour with this summer. You can find links to actually download mp3s of the interview on the . Some other details that are in the interview that have not been reported on other sites are that Trey has been working on an album and the Duo play on 4 of the tracks on the album.
There is also a version of Goodbye Head that include Mike and a 40-piece Orchestra. Trey says the album is ready and he was "handing it in" on Thursday. He says he'd like to have it ready for the tour this summer, but it can usually take 4 months to get it on the shelves, so he's not optimistic about that.
Also on the same Phantasy Tour Message Board, there are links to download part of an unknown recent Duo show where Marco sheds some extra light on the subject:
"By the way it's farking official, Joe and I are going on tour with Trey and Mike this summer. Trey actually gave us the final word, June 28th - July 22nd. Hopefully one night Joe will play guitar and Trey will play drums and no one will know the difference.
"
Trey also mentioned in the Interview that the would be on tour with and his band. The Sirius interviewer (who was horrible, in my opinion), mentioned that they would be opening for Phil, but I didn't ever hear Trey use the word "open", just "with". Trey also said he was 99% sure there would be a show on July 4th.
The 4th is on a Tuesday this year, any chance he plays anywhere near DC? Doubt it. One other place I know they won't be playing is Wakarusa.
The Duo will be at Wakarusa, but Trey will be Nissan Pavillion. That sucks because the very same day, will be playing with the at . I feel like there are never any good shows around DC, then I'm out of town for Wakarusa and 2 good shows roll into town.
Oh well, the Duo will be at Wakarusa, along with a ton of other good bands.
The second big news item that came out of the interview was that Trey definately thinks it is possible that Phish could play again in the future. Here's my suggestion on that Phish (not that you are listening, but whatever), just play a couple shows a year.
One massive campout Lemonwheel/IT/Coventry kind of thing in mid-August, and maybe another one down south for NYE. The rest of the year, go back to the Barn, write new music and learn how to play all your own songs that you have long since forgotten how to play (Fluffhead, YEM, etc.) Also, collaborate with other musicians and have other bands come to the festivals.
Not a lot of other bands, just like 2 or 3 per festival.
