This Friday, February 5th, Furthur kicks off a lengthy winter tour in Miami, FL at the Bayfront Park Amphitheatre. The tour runs from Feb. 5th to Mar. 12th (see dates below) and treks all the way up the east coast before making a few stops in Chicago, Oregon, and a final blow-out 70th Birthday celebration for Phil Lesh in San Fran. The band’s recent ‘public rehearsals’ included many first takes on not-yet-Furthur’d dead tunes and covers including On the Road Again (Traditional), Get Back (Beatles), Hurricane (Dylan), No More Do I (Phil n Friends), Maggie’s Farm (Dylan), and  the pigpen classic I’m A King Bee (Blues Traditional).

In case you didn’t catch these guys in 2009, here’s some of the best jams from the Oakland shows and December run:

TRACK 1: Bertha (9/19/09)
TRACK 2: The Eleven (12/09/09)
TRACK 3: Shakedown Street (12/11/09)

You can feel it in the air folks, Phish tour is upon us. In less than 72 hours, the band will kick off its 13 show Northeast fall tour. Hot of the massive success of a two-legged summer tour that just seemed to build and build over time and a picture-perfect Festival 8, one can only dream of what’s in store in the coming weeks. Indoor shows carry a different energy than outdoor ones, there’s just nothing quite like Phish in the winter. Let’s get this show on the road!

Furhtur NYE

{ October 17, 2009 @ 2:26 am } · { Dark Star Orchestra, Furthur, Grateful Dead, Upcoming Shows }
{ Comments (1) }

It’s official. Dark Star Orchestra’s John K. will abandon his band and his fans to play two shows with Phil Lesh and Bob Weir as ‘Furthur‘ in SF for NYE. Phil Lesh once said the Grateful Dead lives forever – is it worth reaping havoc with the heirs to the throne for one last hurrah with old man Bobby behind the wheel? See what HiddenTrack has to say about it here… Starheads everywhere are outraged, especially those that bought tickets to see DSO NYE over the last month(!) prior to the annconcment that they were onsale.

More rumors amuck today – this time in the Bisco camp. Word is the band is making a Thanksgiving weekend homecoming to the Electric Factory in Philly for Friday and Saturday performances on November 27th and 28th. Additionally, rumor has it that the band will return to the Nokia Theater in Times Square, New York City for a 5-NIGHT (!) New Years run.

Phish Fall Tour and NYE 2009

{ August 22, 2009 @ 5:11 pm } · { Phish, Rumors, Upcoming Shows }
{ Comments (25) }

The dates rumored here over two months ago are seeming more and more certain for Phish’s fall and NYE plans. Sources inside the Phish org are confirming the below dates, and also the possibility of an April 2010 European tour. Other uncorrobated rumors include a pre-Festival8 run including The Hollywood Bowl, a Conan appearance, and a stop in Denver at a location TBD. Additionaly, it looks as if the boys may make a mid-week stop in Worcester between their Albany and MSG dates in the fall. While nothing’s confirmed until it’s on the Phish.com, I’d say go ahead – get excited, make travel plans, get ready for winter Phish, the tastiest kind!
