In Episode 086 we take a step back, drink some mulled wine, light a nightly candle, and soak in the vibes of the season. We focus on 12/30's through the years, highlighting the 1993 run in particular, and discuss the "Mike's Song" from that year's 12/30 show. We also discuss the major themes one can expect from the best night of the year for Phish, as well as the standout jams we've seen from them over the years.

In addition, we discuss our slow-burn albums of 2019, our favorite Phish shows of the year, and share a playlist of some of our favorite artists playing Holiday classics that are sure to hug you like a glass of gluvine this holiday season.

Songs featured in this episode are: Bob Dylan: "Winter Wonderland," Johnny Cash: "Silent Night," Jerry Garcia & David Grisman: "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," Weird Al Yankovic: "The Night Santa Went Crazy," The Carpenters: "Merry Christmas, Darling," Dean Martin: "Silver Bells"

In addition, we discuss two 2019 records that served as slow burners for us: Sarah Louise: Nighttime Birds & Morning Stars, and Dead Horse One: The West Is Best

Finally, we discuss our two favorite Phish shows of 2019: Camden — 06/30/2019 and Mohegan Sun — 07/09/2019
