Product Description

Is it a nail-biting tale of a daring nighttime rescue mission, or a surreal yarn about a camping trip gone horribly awry? Whichever, the dependable set-closer Cavern is one of the most frequently played songs in the Phish songbook. This much is clear: the protagonist is venturing into strange territory where grave danger awaits. His friends admonish him to have one for the road before he leaves. When he finally departs his home base, he faces various unforeseen perils: primal soup, porthole pirates, and sanctuary bugs. But wait: before you start deploying phrases like fifth-level Magic-User and +2 mace, this isnt just some arrested-adolescent Dungeons & Dragons fantasy; far from wielding a mighty sword, our hero is armed only with a hedgehogs spine and his friend Ricks trusty fork. And in the end, it all wouldve worked out, if only hed taken care of his shoes.

Except for some early lyric changes no longer does the narrator attack with an unwieldy knife and leave his poor victim in a pile of excrement, and no more does the chorus mention an Austin Powers-style enlarger pump Cavern has been a rock in Phishs rotation since early 1990. While it has settled into a comfortable role as a set-closer or encore, initially it was much more versatile, appearing just about everywhere in the setlist. But since fall 1992, well over half of the performances of Cavern have come either at the close of a set or during an encore. And no wonder: the songs straight-up rock feel and fist-pumping climax make it a fitting exclamation point on the end of an evening of more excursionary jamming.
