Phish in Telluride Approved

{ March 9, 2010 @ 10:08 pm } · { Phish, Phish Summer Tour 2010, Rumors }
{ Comments (1) }

The final of a series of legal and legislative hurdles was overcome today as local officials gave the final stamp of approval to AEG’s request to hold a pair of Phish shows in the Town Park in Telluride, CO on August 9th and 10th. As part of the negotiations, the town was able to guarantee 1,500 of 9,000 tickets for locals. While this has many phish fans up in arms, there will be no shortage of demand for tickets and scalpers, especially local Coloradoan, are sure to make out big on the event. Rumor has it that tickets will only be available in the form of 2 day passes to limit the overall number of Phish-heads coming to town.

This news makes the Leg 2 Summer Tour dates that were posted here and elsewhere seem less likely. There has also been talk of Phish headlining The Mile High Music Festival, taking place August 14th and 15th in Denver shortly after the proposed Telluride dates. This would likely mean no Red Rocks shows in 2010 and a West Coast tour in early August surrounding these dates. That said, the Leg 1 Dates rumored here remain likely and an announcement seems imminent in the coming weeks.

Phish Summer Tour 2010 Rumors

{ Comments (18) }

With many big acts announcing summer dates, and festival lineup announcement galore, everybody’s wondering what’s going on in the Phish camp for summer this year? All talk seems to be pointing to an East Coast/Midwest leg in early June and West Coast/CO leg in late July and August, very similar to last summer’s arrangment. The following sets of dates have been circulating for the two legs (see below).

Phish at Alipine Valley, Summer 2009

08/15/10 Darien Lake , Darien Center NY

Phish at The Gorge, Summer 1997

Unlike last year, when very solid rumors and inside sources everywhere were confirming summer plans MONTHS in advance, these dates seem to be based mostly on venue holds, hearsay, and PT blotter, but they are the most realistic seeming dates circulating thus far. In terms of when an announcement will take place, the smart money is on the weeks following Mike Gordon’s upcoming solo tour (March 5th-March 14th ). Whatever ends up happening, spring is in the air and we’re not much more than 90 days away (if that!) from Summer Phish – so… set the gear shift for the high gear of your soul, and get ready to rage!

Phish: Sunday Night in Syracuse

{ November 23, 2009 @ 10:03 am } · { Audio, Phish, Phish Fall Tour 09 }
{ Comments (2) }

More Phish goodness in Syracuse on Sunday night 11/22, as the band’s fall tour continues on its east coast trek. First set highlights include a David Bowie opener (for the 10th time ever), a fun Boogie On, and a smoking, exploratory Stash set closer. The second set kicked off with a big Drowned>Twist>Piper>BBFCFM sequence with lots of fun and energetic jamming and some Fishman drum breaks. Late show highlights were a fan-requested Tube, an always-welcome Theme, and a ragin’ Maze.  Next stop for the band is Tuesday and Wednesday night for their first gigs ever at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.

Phish in Cincy Night 2

{ November 22, 2009 @ 4:01 pm } · { Audio, Phish, Phish Fall Tour 09 }
{ Leave a Comment }

Night 2 in Cincy built on the energy from night 1 and carried a much more rocking, triumphant tone. The Set 2 combination of Rock and Roll, Ghost, and Backwards Down the Number Line was a great expose of the many sides that Phish rock and roll anthems can take on. The first set was straight ahead rage-in-your face rock – see Wilson, Melt, and Antelope. Other notable jams included a 10 minute Ocelot that found a nice Type II groove before returning to the song’s reprise. All in all, the band in sounding confident and practiced and the tour is picking up speed nicely. Enjoy pics, setlist, dl, and vids below…
