PHISH: Official summer tour thread

for the record i'm not there just to party, i love phish....although i do love to party, i'm there for phish phirst
 
Can't wait for 2nd leg announcement. I don't know how they're going to show love to the south and west, should be interesting.

Updated 1st leg for gf and I looks like Portsmouth, possibly skip Cincy, head straight for Star Lake and go through Alpine. Possible Jones Beach for the 4th but I'd rather have funds for some August tour too.

Love summer tour, but gotta get good seats under the pavilion to properly hear and experience.
 
doing Bonnaroo and AC for first leg - and hopefully as much of leg 2 as possible if it's west coast heavy! Can't wait! I've been seeing them since 96 and despite any decline - are still my favorite act on the road!
 
rumor mill, but this guy is usually pretty accurate:

8/17-8/18 Bill Graham, San Fran
8/20 Hollywood Bowl, LA
8/22 The Zoo, OK City
8/24 Time Warner Amp, Charlotte, NC
8/25 Lakewood, Atlanta, GA
8/26 Oak Mtn Pelham, AL
8/28 Toyota Park, Bridgeview, IL
8/29 Verizon Wireless, St Louis, MO
8/31-9/2 Dicks, Commerce City, CO
 
I'll be excited to catch them at 'Roo. I've never seen phish before and only recently started listening to them but I'm really excited to see them!
 
^ I seen them at Roo, what was it like 09 or 10 I think, the same year Bruce and the E street band and The Beastie Boys were the headliners. They also played two nights iirc, which was pretty cool

But yeah fuck, I missed last year for the first time since I started going in 06 and with Radiohead and a couple other acts I'd like to see I'm going to have to make it to Bonnaroo no matter what.

Will this be your first time attending, Logic?
 
So stoked they're playing 2 nights 15min away in Portsmouth, at probably the best venue you can catch them at now. I'll probably end up heading to Atlantic City and Saratoga as well. I Loooove me some Phish. Just wish they would bring back their Talking Heads-inspired rhythmic funk jams. Man am I ready for some funky Cactus!
 
^ I never knew they went through such a stage. As a big fan of Talking Heads I'm intrigued.
Is there a particular album that perhaps showcases that phase?

ohhh....man. you're about to get it. i'll try and find the soundboard of this and steal it for you. if not, you can get off of livephish.com

quite possibly the most awesome show ever. once you get this one down, i'll point you to some funk filled shows from 97. 97 was the year of the funk. but, as a talking heads fan, you must start here. it got so fucking weird in the omni this particular night.

Notes: The Mockingbird narration included a reference to The Talking Heads’ David Byrne, who appeared in the mountain as the face of Icculus. As Trey told the story, Byrne threw Colonel Forbin off the mountain and into the arms of the “evil” Famous Mockingbird. The second set "musical costume" was The Talking Heads' Remain in Light. All of the Remain in Light songs were Phish debuts; the set featured Karl Perazzo on percussion, Dave Grippo on saxophone, and Gary Gazaway on trumpet. Perazzo also played during the entire third set. Jesus Just Left Chicago, Suzy Greenberg, and Frankenstein also featured Grippo and Gazaway. At the end of Houses in Motion (which featured Trey teasing Tweezer), an armchair was brought out to the center of the stage and Mike sat in it to sing Seen and Not Seen. While he sang, Karl Perazzo drummed and Trey played bass. After Overload, a bizarre on-stage demonstration closed the set. The third set opened with a Feel Like a Stranger tease. Suzy included a Born Under Punches tease from Page. Simple included a tease of Mama Told Me Not to Come. The soundcheck's Overload was performed with horns and briefly featured Fishman on vacuum. This show was officially released as Live Phish 15.

fuck, the links i have are dead. let me poke around, i'll find them for you.

sorry.....this shit gets me all jacked up.
 
Haha CS! I'm appreciative of all the work you're putting forth for me. I look forward to the links, if it gets too frustrating I can always attempt to dig something out of the internet.
 
No album in particular, more every live show from 1997-1998. Check out the 12/29/97 and 12/30/97 shows.....theyre on youtube in their entirety. Ahhhh what great years of music they were........Thats almost the only Phish I listen to aside from albums.

heres a link to a spreadsheet with every show ever....and a download link for them: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AjeIQ6qQvexzcDhXS2twUC1US3BPMVZuUWdjZmY2RVE&gid=3

See if you can find a torrent called Phish Destroys America....thats about the best collection of their 1997 heyday around!
 
the spreadsheet is solid. the only problem is that the majority aren't sbd's. while i'm totally down with good sounding aud's, i try to introduce n00bs with sbd's.
 
lysergic were you at the infamous VA Beach 98 terrapin station show?

i jumped off tour after merriweather, right before VA Beach. horrible decision.
 
3rd anniversary of Jerry's death, and they absolutely NAILED terrapin station for the encore. this is one show you should listen to the audience recording to hear the absolute roar from the crowd when everyone realized what they were doing when going into terrapin. the show itself is mediocre at best. but, the one and only time they played terrapin...and it was so fucking rad. i have chills typing this right now.

Sunday, 08/09/1998
