TALES FROM THE BIG BUS

This is my favorite live album by Fish. It's also one of the talkiest, which is why I love it so much. What sets Fish apart from other performers is that he is first and foremost an entertainer, meaning he'll sing and dance and tell (long) stories. Those who have never had the pleasure of seeing Fish in concert need only listen to "Lucky" here to see what I mean. The song list here is eclectic and strong; the best songs from his first four albums are represented here, and the 20-minute medley that closes out disc one is nothing short of brilliant. I strongly recommend this album to anyone whose never been on the Big Bus. Enjoy.
