Who took music appreciation and enjoys 19th century compositions?? If you have/do, you'll enjoy this video. The song is "Also Sprach Zarathrustra" by Richard Strauss and is being performed in funky perfection by Phish, a rock band from Vermont formed in the early 1980's. Expansive momentum concerning the group's following began among college towns on the east coast, without the help of mainstream promotional outlets, and has now reached a magnitude similar to the Grateful Dead's. The virtuoso quartet made many musical changes (relating to their jam style) throughout their extensive career of almost 30 years (arguably), over 1,500 concerts, or roughly 4,500 hours spent on stage. One of those changes was a gravitation toward funkier, groovier jams, such as the following rendition.
(You might recognize "Also Sprach Zarathrusta," the song featured below, from the Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film "2001: A Space Odyssey.")
And.... If you like the Rolling Stones, Phish's cover of "Loving Cup" from Exile on Mainstreet begins around 6:30 in the video.
Spread the music... Organically people.
