TOUCHDOWNS ALL DAY w/ JON BARBER & MAX DAWSON
E097 - The Guru, Part 2 (I Remember When) - Benjy Eisen is a New York Times best-selling author, music journalist, artist manager, promoter, and podcaster. He's also one of the original jamband influencers, and for more than three decades he has catalyzed and mythologized our scene. Benjy's relationship with The Disco Biscuits stretches back to 1997, when he became one of the band's original fans, advocates, confidants, and collaborators. Part two of our interview with Benjy begins with the creation of DiscussBiscuits, the band's first online discussion forum, and focuses on the events of 1998 and 1999, two pivotal years in the history of The Disco Biscuits. Benjy describes how his experiences at festivals like All Good and Autumn Equinox inspired him and his friends to launch Melstock, a multi-day camping and music event hosted on the Mechanicsburg, PA family farm of early Biscuits fan Jason Melham. In addition, Benjy recounts his involvement in the first performance of The Hot Air Balloon rock opera on December 31, 1998, and shares the story of how he accidentally came up with the idea for Camp Bisco.
