Phish New Orleans Benefit (Do letters work?)

I thought this was interesting. On Sept. 1st I wrote this to Betty of Phish Inc.:

Hello People of Phish,
I was just wondering if you would be willing to tie in sales of the Superjam, Duo + Gordon, and/or any other archived Phish shows in New Orleans to benefit those hit by Katrina.
Just a thought,

Well, apparantly they had the same line of thought (and/or thousands of fans suggested the same thing- I am in no way trying to claim anything here, I just think it is interesting) because Phish released today their 1996 New Orleans Jazz Festival performance. As a bonus, they released the complete set II from their show at Tipitina's in November of 1991 as filler when you purchase the jazzfest show (that's a spicy meatball!). They also released a benefit Tee Shirt and a limited edition Jim Pollock poster (above)- all proceeds going to the Tipitina's Foundation and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation.

The setlist for the show is below and you can get for 9.95 (Mp3) and 12.95 (FLAC).

Get some great tunes and goods and help a very worthy cause!
