Reviews for Phish´s A Live One
There are twelve songs on A Live One, four of which ( Hood, Stash, Tweezer, and Slave ) are subjects of in-depth, varying - and sometimes really funny - running commentaries ... Any future book titled Experiencing Phish will be indebted to Holland. -Ed Komara, Association for Recorded Sound Collections Journal
