I have been digging sound checks recently and was wondering if any of us have a big collection of them? Or is there a possible sound check collection out there? I really enjoy the listen because they are always so clear and more organic sounding with out a huge audience there. The sound just bounces off the walls better and there is no crowd noise, just Phish. It is also fun to get behind the scenes for a minute and hear how this incredible band well... "sound checks" I also love to compare my boogie to Treys and you can really hear it in raw form on a good sound check recording.
I can post what I got if others will post theirs.. Lets do this!
I only have the Two Soundchecks recording that was released a few years ago..

You need to make an account and them PM the guy who runs it (who happens to be a good friend of mine), and you get in. It's a little music sharing community and the people there have a bunch of cool, rare things you can check out. I'd check there. Also on .net, PT, and all the online Phansites.
Hey No Nice Guy, I'm new to reddit, how do I PM the guy who runs it?
I know some shows have sound checks included here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AjeIQ6qQvexzcDhXS2twUC1US3BPMVZuUWdjZmY2RVE&gid=15

You go to his page (reddit.com/u/kikikza) and click the 'Send a Message' button. There's no formal application process or anything like that, just ask to be let in to boardtrades and he'll let you in.
Thanks guys that is awesome! DWS that should keep me busy for a long time. I ran out of bandwidth but will try more tomorrow. Thanks again!
There is also a link to soundchecks at phishows.com. Not a ton, but a few high quality checks.
And for the best sound quality you can find the sound checks included in the Ventura package and the island tour are really good. I love soundchecks too and the crispness and clarity of treys tone cannot be beat.
