Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

why don't they just black everything out besides California since everybody already knows the location?

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

I don't think they have the contract finalized with the folks in Indio yet. I have a friend that works for UNLV Tickets that told me Sam Boyd Stadium was being held as a back-up location.

Woops. California just got removed today.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

just saw, guess it's in Vegas now

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

Are you as sure about that as you were about California?

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

What I always heard was the Coachilla site in CA was where they wanted to hold it, Vegas was the back up in case negotiations fell through. Then again Phish rumors are rarely true.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

Holy schnikes! At least my hotel reservation can be canceled until 10/1 or something.

Vegas then? I dunno what to think at this point.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

That's my point exactly.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

Interesting development this morning. Really hoping for Vegas now.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

Kinda sneaky, but if you hit ctrl ++ a few times, you'll see that California is floating above the map. Don't know if it was just laziness on the webmasters part, or if its intentional. I wouldn't cancel anything for CA just yet -wink-

Looks like California floating above the map was programmer error. It's gone now.

Well - I certainly wouldn't mind missing that.

However, I'm still holding out hope for three nights at the Xcel Center in Saint Paul! :lol:

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

Oh man that would freakin' awesome!

Not gettin' my hopes up too much though.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

I saw zzyx's post yesterday on Phantasy Tour, and I'm almost positive he was just fucking with people. First, I cannot imagine that the estate of Jimi Hendrix even knows who Phish is. Second, if they did, would they specifically request a bunch of nerdy, middle aged white guys to cover their son's set? Third, some of his posts later in that thread stated that Safeco was opening up its parking garage for camping, which is just absurd.

Let's take a minute to contemplate what a parking garage would look like at the end of a 3 day Phish festival. They'd probably have to demolish it.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

Camping in a parking garage? I would want to be on the top level to avoid the flood caused by hippies pissing right outside their tents.

Re: So, um... Phish is back

It's actually pretty cool.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

It's Cali.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

That reveal was great, loved the way they fucked with everybody over the few weeks.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

I was honestly getting tired of the map. Glad the location has been revealed.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

Well I thought that was pretty anticlimactic, they could have at least flown it back in with the hot air balloons.

Also what's up with not even giving us the details?

Anyway, like I said weeks ago:

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

Just booked a really nice RV. I think I'd rather do that than a hotel.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

Just got my tickets and an RV pass. Apparently, RV passes are already sold out. Crazy.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

I highly recommend downloading Friday's show from the Gorge if you haven't already.

Awesome jams in Gin, Sally and Light and my pick for best show of 3.0 so far.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

Agreed that Friday's show is best 3.0 show so far. Saturday's show is way up there as well. Still haven't heard the Chicago show from last night.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

Where can they be heard?

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

heard the Chicago show was the worst of 3.0

I've seen 5 shows so far this year and like where the band is heading, hopefully Merriweather keeps it up.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

You can download audience recordings for free here:

Or you can buy soundboards from the band here:

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

So Joy has leaked

Really like it after a few passes, possibly the best since Ghost.

Stand out tracks - Sugar Shack, Joy, Light

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

So, what an incredible festival! The amount of organization and planning that went into every single aspect made it (possibly) my most memorable Phish weekend ever (the 40 foot RV didn't hurt). Really hope they do it again next year.

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

Bring the festival back to the east coast. I listened to it on Sirius and thought they were really on for the most part.

So was that one of the best Suzy Greenburgs ever?

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

Depends on how you like your Suzys I suppose, I definitely thought it was one of the best, but for the all time best I'll still probably go with the funkfest from 9/14/00.

Had a great time this weekend, let's hope this becomes a Southern Cali tradition!

Re: So, um... Phish is back
 

You would NOT have said that if you were there (and that's a quote from my buddy from Virginia who flew in for the fest). I think the Polo Grounds might be the best location for a fest I have ever seen. It was perfect.

Also, I've been seeing live music since 1990 and seeing Phish since 1995. "Shine A Light" may be my favorite live music moment ever. "Just Wanna See His Face" ranks close behind. Phish nailed Exile on Main St.
