Quote from rockoptic.com:
"Phish clocked in on Pollstar as one of the top ten most popular touring acts in the USA for 1999. That’s without even having a set-list. To quote Storm Thorgerson, ‘playing live they have little idea about what they are going to play until they are on stage in front of an audience. How about that for daring?’ The idea was to represent improvisation - taking a theme and running with it – different instruments pick up the musical thread and run with it like relay runners and a baton. The scene was set on a seashore for romantic reasons and appropriateness - the sound of the waves, the sound of the surf, the sound of music, phish of the sea. The ball of wool, or yarn, is a real sculpture about 15 feet high and transported to a beach at Hengistbury Head in the south of England. It was very heavy and difficult to manoeuvre. The rope is taken at the same place, same lighting but separate time to the runner. The two were joined in the computer and the size of the ball was doubled. The camera was a Hasselblad 500c 50mm w/a using available light and Fuji daylight transparency hand-held standing precariously on a tall stepladder."
