Phish roses are free hampton comes alive


Hampton Comes Alive is a six-disc live album by the American rock band Phish, released on November 23, 1999, by Elektra Records. It is the band's third live album and the first time complete live Phish concerts were released in their entirety (though fan recordings of most Phish shows are widely circulated). Hampton Comes Alive consists of two full concerts recorded on November 20 and 21, 1998, at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia. The album title is a play on Peter Frampton's classic live album Frampton Comes Alive!.

Contents

Twenty of the album's forty-four tracks are covers or other songs from the band's large catalog that do not appear on any previous Phish album. The album's many cover songs include: "Rock and Roll, Pt. 2" by Gary Glitter, "Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)" by Bob Dylan, "Funky Bitch" by Son Seals, "Roses Are Free" by Ween, "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" by Will Smith, "Cry Baby Cry" by The Beatles, "Boogie On Reggae Woman" by Stevie Wonder, "Nellie Kane" by Hot Rize, "Bold as Love" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, "Sabotage" by Beastie Boys and "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba. As usual with covers sung by Jon Fishman, the band (as a trio with Trey Anastasio on drums) also performs a brief instrumental version of "Hold Your Head Up" by Argent before and after "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It."

Each CD is packaged in its own sleeve and collected together in an innovative box. The liner notes include fan-contributed photographs and art. The album was nominated for a Grammy for Best Boxed Set Packaging.

Hampton Comes Alive was certified gold by RIAA January, 14 2000.

In February 2009, this album was made available as a download in FLAC and MP3 formats at LivePhish.com.
