Episode 11 - Joseph Rosenberg

This week's guest is Joseph Rosenberg! Joseph was first exposed to Phish in the summer of '94 when he went on a walk with his dad after dinner to check out Phish at The Ballpark in Old Orchard Beach, ME. Since they just listened to the show from outside the venue, Joseph doesn't credit this as his first Phish show. His first official Phish show came a few years later on 12/12/97 in Albany, NY.

In addition to hearing some fun stories from Joseph's Phish shows over the years we also learn why his favorite jam is the Roses Are Free from Island Tour, and why he's okay with never hearing 46 Days, Sugar Shack, or Yarmouth Road again. Enjoy!

Jefe walks us through how he discovered phish and his first show experience at CRYSTAL BALLROOM, HOTEL ST. MICHAEL on 10/24/91.

Jefe's journey with the band is interesting. Unlike some phans that jump in on day one and follow the band relentlessly, Jefe took his time and checked in with the band every few years during the 1.0 era, and eventually had his next "aha!" moment at Dick's in 2017 and hasn't looked back since.
