Live Phish 07.15.03
''Live Phish 07.15.03'' is a live album by American rock group Phish, which was recorded live at the USANA Amphitheater in West Valley, Utah, on July 15, 2003. This show is highlighted by a half-hour performance of the Trey Anastasio solo song "Mr. Completely," marking the first time Phish had performed the song. It would not be played again until 2017. Throughout the rest of the second set, much like their earlier days in the 1990s, the band weaves in and out of a song (this time it's "Big Black Furry Creature From Mars") in the midst of heavy improvisation and extended jams. Other highlights include an energetic "Walls of the Cave" and the show closer, "Slave to the Traffic Light." This show was also among a small batch of the 2003 live shows to be released in CD form.

Round Room
''Round Room'' is the tenth studio album by the American rock band Phish released on December 10, 2002, by Elektra Records. The album was recorded over the span of four days in October 2002, and its release marked the end of the group's two year hiatus from touring and recording. Production and release Initially, Phish planned to record the album live at their December 31, 2002 concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City, their first concert since October 2000, but they decided instead to release the songs they had recorded that fall instead. As with previous Phish albums, the songs originated in collaborative writing sessions between frontman Trey Anastasio and lyricist Tom Marshall (with two songs contributed by bass guitarist Mike Gordon). ''Round Room'' is unique, however, in that the final tracks were taken from the band's unedited rehearsal sessions at The Barn, Anastasio's studio in Vermont. ''Rolling Stone'' notes that this approach gives the album a "decidedly l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Howard E
Howard is an English-language given name originating from Old French Huard (or Houard) from a Germanic source similar to Old High German ''*Hugihard'' "heart-brave", or ''*Hoh-ward'', literally "high defender; chief guardian". It is also probably in some cases a confusion with the Old Norse cognate ''Haward'' (''Hávarðr''), which means "high guard" and as a surname also with the unrelated Hayward. In some rare cases it is from the Old English ''eowu hierde'' "ewe herd". In Anglo-Norman the French digram ''-ou-'' was often rendered as ''-ow-'' such as ''tour'' → ''tower'', ''flour'' (western variant form of ''fleur'') → ''flower'', etc. (with svarabakhti). A diminutive is "Howie" and its shortened form is "Ward" (most common in the 19th century). Between 1900 and 1960, Howard ranked in the U.S. Top 200; between 1960 and 1990, it ranked in the U.S. Top 400; between 1990 and 2004, it ranked in the U.S. Top 600.
