Bivouac Jaun

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trey Anastasio and Tom Marshall in 2003

Bivouac Jaun is a project recorded in the spring of 1984 featuring Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio, Phish lyricist Tom Marshall, and one-time Phish percussionist Marc Daubert. It also features appearances from Dave Abrahams, drummer Pete Cottone, and guitarist Roger Holloway. Anastasio plays a wide array of instruments on the album, with "Run Like an Antelope," "Slave to the Traffic Light," and "Letter to Jimmy Page" featuring Anastasio on all instruments. Marshall plays keyboards on all tracks and Daubert handles percussion and additional guitar.

Most of these tracks would appear in a remixed fashion on the first Phish album (known as The White Tape), which would circulate in various versions starting in 1986. An expanded version of the project includes Trey Anastasio solo acoustic guitar performances previously circulated as "untitled four-track project."

Bivouac Jaun was never released but has been circulated in bootleg form since the mid 1980s. However, copies are extremely rare and very hard to acquire.
