Phish 3.0

[brentblack]

Unreal shows this past weekend with 80+ songs over three nights with 2 hour 1st sets. Free soundboard mp3s at livephish.com

From http://phishthoughts.com/2009/

We have finally arrived. All weekend long, Phish reminded us why they are the greatest band on the planet. And with nothing but bright skies ahead, the world is back to the way they should be- with a happy and scorching Phish. As summer tour is only months away, and west coast dates on the horizon, things couldn’t look better. As any one of the 13,000 people that walked out of our sacred venue with shit-eating grins could tell you, “The magic is back.”

Police arrest 194 during Phish reunion weekend

1 day ago

HAMPTON, Va. (AP) — 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.

[The Dude]

Set 1 from friday night makes me happy in my pants

[cleetus]

So far I've only been able to listen to Friday night, but let me tell you, I wasn't all that impressed. The jams were cool but Trey kept fucking up on the melody. It reminded me of those last shows August '04 that sucked cock because of all the crappy lead guitar.

That being said I haven't listened to the other 2 nights, AND given half a chance I'll go this summer. But this isn't the same band that I saw back in the 80s and 90s

[brentblack]

I'm up to 2nd set 2nd night and I know what you're saying about Trey. Page has been right there filling in the gaps. So far it's about 80% incredible and 20% average

[Malone]

Got my pavilion ticket for Burgettstown. Can't fucking wait.

[brentblack]

2nd set 2nd night = my life was saved by rock n roll

3rd night I'm going to listen to the aud's

[Rumpleforeskin]

This is somewhat misleading. The story originated in the local paper here, and they said that the 194 arrests were for all three shows. It said that in 2004, there were like 250 arrests at just one show at the same venue. Anyway, here is an inane convo I had with the 60-year old good ole boys I work with:

Me: He dudes! You guys gonna go out there to the Phish concert?

Them: What the fuck is Phish?

Me: It's this hippy jam band. Remember the Grateful Dead?

Them: yeah

Me: Well, when the Dead went under, the hippies that followed them around basically switched over to this band. So are you guys gonna go?

Them: Not interested.

Me: But they sell grilled cheeses with WEED in them!

Them: still sounds stupid.
