Both shows I saw were fantastic and exceeded any expectations I had. However, I would give the edge to Saturday as better than Friday. Page may end up as Phish 3.0's MVP. He was better than he's ever been. All in all, the band sounded better than they have since probably 1999 or so. |
Re: So, um... Phish is back
I'm going to try to go to the Alpine Valley shows. Loved listening to the Hampton shows the last few days.

HAMPTON, Va. – Some Phish fans are leaving Hampton a little lighter than when they arrived for the band's weekend reunion. Police said Monday they confiscated about $1.2 million in illegal drugs and more than $68,000 in cash from concertgoers. Authorities also arrested 194 Phish fans during the three-night celebration of the band's return to the stage after a nearly five-year absence. Most of the arrests were for drug possession, use and distribution, police said. Tourism officials had estimated 75,000 fans would be coming to the coastal Virginia city. Nearly 200 law enforcement officers worked the weekend event, with the Vermont-based band picking up the tab. |

Re: So, um... Phish is back
Holy shit, mkdevo! The wifflewook that you took pictures of crushed the styrofoam cooler of the people parked next to us and fell into our camping chairs. He was hilariously fucked up. He was only with our group for about 20 minutes (no, none of us knew him) and was quite destructive. We ended up trying to trade him to passers-by for a Sunday ticket. ("This wook for your Sunday.") No takers though.

ha! he came up to us on saturday and said in the faintest, slowest voice ever, "you... guysssss.... got.... one?.............. jusssssst one......". he then proceeded to join the wiffle ball game going on across from us, which provided us with some entertainment. i shot video of it for like 5 minutes, because it was hilarious, but not really worth keeping.
i'm working on all my (HD) video from the weekend now. i got a ton. Before the "This wook for your Sunday" shenanigans my group pulled, the guy with the smashed cooler he crushed stood up, put his arm around him, and began to yell at passers-by, "Hey, who dosed my little brother? Who the hell dosed my brother?" Everyone in the area was laughing hysterically. Then the wook started saying as loudly and coherently as he could, "Please dose his little brother!" Then, he fell down. |

Wow, I'm surprised, I was at 2 or 3 of the nights at Red Rocks when they played 4 nights in '96, then they got banned after that because of all of the illegal camping and I think there was also a small riot. Anyway, glad to see Red Rocks is lifting the ban, I will definitely have to make it to a couple of those shows. I guess Red Rocks just saw the dollars that are going to come in.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
I put in for the Gorge. Those are the only shows this summer that I have any chance of making.
Rolling Stone has a pretty great article about Hampton in the newest issue. Very candid about reasons for the break-up after Coventry (Trey was abusing drugs) and the rest of the band's bitterness (particularly Fishman's) following the break-up, mostly because Trey said he needed to get off the road and back to his family to get clean. Then, he proceeded to tour and record with his solo band until he cleaned up. I did like Trey's quotes about how his community service was partially served at a state fair. He was doing the menial jobs it took to put on a festival...parking cars, scrubbing toilets, cleaning up trash. He sent a message to Fish..."If anyone ever hears me complain about playing 'You Enjoy Myself', they need to smack me. I have now done every job it takes to put on a Phish festival, and playing guitar is by far the best part." Fish on Hampton: "Our band had driven itself into a ditch. We needed to establish credibility among people again." Well, they succeeded. I'm more excited for this band than I've been since Big Cypress... |

Re: So, um... Phish is back
I also put in for the Red Rocks shows. The request period is over, and we're supposed to find out by midnight tomorrow. How long did it take to get back to request-ers for the NJ shows?
