}} ''A Picture of Nectar'' is the third official studio album and first on a major-label by the American rock band Phish, released on February 12, 1992, through Elektra Records. The album is dedicated to Nector Rorris, the proprietor of Nectar's () in Burlington, Vermont, where Phish played their first bar gig followed by a series of monthly three-night stands, saying that the experience "taught us how to play".〔(Phish.com: A Picture of Nectar ) Online. Accessed: August 08, 2011.〕 There are two versions of the album's cover. The first printings of the CD were issued in longbox format, and the title of the album was not printed on the CD insert itself. Later printings came in shrink-wrap format and had the band's name and album title printed directly on the insert.〔(Phish:net: A Picture of Nectar ) Online. Accessed: August 11, 2011.〕 The songs on ''A Picture of Nectar'' explore a variety of musical genres, including jazz, country, calypso, rock and roll and neo-psychedelia.〔 Tracks 2, 8, and 9 are instrumentals. The song "Manteca" is a cover of the song by jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie; in Phish's short version, the melody line is sung as a goofy nonsense phrase.〔(Phish.net: Manteca Song History ) Online. Accessed: August 11, 2011.〕 "Poor Heart" is written in bluegrass style. All songs on the album have been performed live by the band, though the instrumental tracks have become relative rarities after the mid-1990s. The short instrumental, "Faht", written by drummer Jon Fishman, has only been performed live twelve times, the last in 1995.〔(Phish.net: Faht Every Time Played ) Online. Accessed: August 11, 2011.〕 Several live versions of "Catapult" have been performed in the middle of another song, such as "Run Like an Antelope", "David Bowie" and "Simple". The album was certified gold by the RIAA on November 15, 2001. ==Chart positions== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Picture of Nectar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
