JEMP Records is pleased to announce the release of Phish: 5/3/93 State Theatre, New Brunswick NJ as a benefit download at LivePhish.com.  There's a lot of excitement about this release already and we are so glad to be able to offer it as a charitable endeavor in keeping with our tradition of successful benefit downloads from years past.  These include the Headphones Jam (Harbor House of New Jersey), Katrina Relief (Tipitina Foundation and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation), Haiti Relief (Red Cross/Haiti and Partners in Health) and Japan Relief (Peace Winds America/Japan) as well as the WaterWheel Vermont Flood Recovery Fund which receives proceeds from the 9/14/11 livephish.com download.
 
In late October of last year, Hurricane Sandy bore down on the Atlantic seaboard, wreaking havoc and leaving a swath of devastation. Among the hardest hit from this "super storm" were costal areas of both New York and New Jersey. In response, the WaterWheel Foundation with the help of the Mimi Fishman Foundation quickly launched a ticket auction for Phish's NYE run at Madison Square Garden.  Eight pair of tickets raised over $10,000, which was then donated to The Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties in NJ and The Food Bank for New York City to assist with their relief efforts.  Proceeds from this release will go to benefit rebuilding efforts in both New Jersey (Middlesex County Long Term Recovery Group) and New York (respondandrebuild.org).
