This new edition of The Phish Companion (TPC3) is the definitive guide
to the band and its music. TPC3 gives fans an updated reference guide,
and is accompanied by book-related mobile apps and e-book editions. It
covers Phishs history through the end of 2012. TPC3 is written and
compiled entirely by volunteers through Phish.net. Far beyond being mere
lists of facts, a record of what the band has performed live involves
thousands of creative decisions related to song titles, song
transitions, song notes, show notes, presentation, and the annotation of
teases, quotes, and jams, among other matters. The resulting
proprietary database serves as a basis for the book and more than a
dozen websites. Previous editions of The Phish Companion (in 2000 and
2004) drew from those same resources but in their entirety, and topped
920 pages and 4.2 pounds. The 2013 edition features a completely new
design, a more portable format, and a more strategic selection of
contents, while incorporating nine years of additional history, as well
as related content.The print and electronic versions of the newest
edition will continue the mission of the nonprofit Mockingbird
Foundation, whose proceeds fund music education for children.
