The Headphones Jam (also referred to as "Monitor Jam") was recorded near the beginning of the Undermind sessions after Producer Tchad Blake arrived in Vermont and before the band began tracking most of the songs. It was mixed on the fly in The Barn and named because it was recorded while the monitors (in this case headphones) settings were dialed in for the session. Two tracks from the Headphones Jam were used for the Undermind album: "Maggie's Revenge" and "Tiny" (an Undermind iTunes bonus track). A third segment of the jam was played on a 2004 From the Archives radio show on The Bunny. The rest of the complete jam had never been heard outside the band until the Barn Tour Contest in 2006.

The Jam was presented in November 2006 to the winner of the Phish / Sirius "Live In Brooklyn" Barn Tour Contest along with a guided tour of The Barn and autographed copy of "Live in Brooklyn". The contest winner was given the option to hold onto the contest track or share it with the rest of the community. The winner decided to make this jam available to the public and asked LivePhish.com to help distribute it with the request that proceeds be donated to a designated charity. In that sense, it follows in the charitable tradition of other LivePhish.com efforts like "New Orleans Relief" and support of the Mockingbird Foundation.

Purchase the entire jam, exactly as it was recorded, as FLAC or MP3 audio downloads.

Recorded and mixed by Tchad Blake and Pete Carini at The Barn, Vermont during the Undermind recording sessions, February 2004. Produced by Tchad Blake.

This jam, also referred to as "Monitors Jam" was presented to the winner of the Phish/Sirius "Live in Brooklyn" Barn Tour Contest.

Proceeds from the sale of this track go to Ocean's Harbor House, which provides services and housing for abused and neglected children in two local counties in New Jersey.

I will echo the sentiments of another poster that this is worth the bread. Had I been the winner I would have been tempted to keep this all to myself. I would not have..oh heck, maybe I would! :-) MORE>
