Product Description

While the lyrics of Julius Danger! Ive been told to expect it are based on Shakespeares Julius Caesar, Tom Marshall has admitted that the chorus is nonsensical. It was made up at the last minute on the way into a recording session simply to have something to sing, and has no relation to the play. The upbeat tempo and exultant chorus certainly belie the dark and foreboding tone of the play, and Julius has become a favorite of many fans. It is one of the few Phish tunes where many fans consider the album version to be as good as it is live.

The Hoist version features the backing vocals of The Rickey Grundy Chorale (with Rose Stone & Jean McClain) and the Tower of Power Horns. The now out-of-print Tracking video contains footage of this recording session. In The Phish Book, Tom relates the story of how members of The Rickey Grundy Chorale at first refused to sing "Julius" until they understood what was meant by the "'Cause if you lay it on a brother when he's sleeping / Wake up in the morning you'll be gone" lyric; apparently "they didn't mean anything" other than to work with the swinging nature of the song's ending, and all was well in the end.
