Back To Index Phish: Bittersweet Motel
 Barnes & Noble The traits once synonymous with the Grateful Dead -- tie-dyed fan-ware, epic jams, sold-out arenas across America -- are now the bread and butter of the ultimate American jam band Phish, the Vermont-based subject of award-winning filmmaker Todd Phillipss Bittersweet Motel. Following the group on various tour stops in 1997 and 98, Phillips -- director of the comedy hit Road Trip the documentary Hated: G. G. Allin and the Murder Junkies -- affords fans front-row tickets and backstage passes to the Phish phenomenon, also revealing the bands amazing lack of pretense offstage. Whether playing with handguns in a small European shop or taking photos of fans and/or themselves, Phish members maintain a fan-friendly demeanor that belies their rock star status. But Phillips doesnt forget that the music is the films true star. From the rock n roll anthem "Down with Disease" (Phishs only song to have an accompanying music video) and the uncut 70s funk of "Tweezer" to classic Elvis Presley and Rolling Stones covers, Bittersweet Motel demonstrates what Phishs fans have known for years: Their music is truly indescribable. The all-access DVD contains more than 35 minutes of deleted scenes and full-length versions of live favorites, including the ultra-psychedelic "Maze," the swanky Sinatra swagger of "Lawn Boy," and the post-punk power of "Big Black Furry Creature from Mars." A must-have for Phish-heads of all ages, Bittersweet Motel is also the perfect introduction to the band for any newbie interested in learning why Rolling Stone proclaimed them "the most important band of the 90s."
