I'm hoping for a west coast run with dates in SLC. Only 6 hours from Bozzo! Chances are slim.
I'm guessing they'll do short runs in the east following a new album and get some reactions/support before they venture too far. Either way I'm phsyched for these guys and I wish them all the best!!!

that's what this ticket lottery is in some ways, they will take all the areas people send order requests from in order to gauge interest in the various areas of the US ,and then plan tour dates accordingly.
I will see them.

All that is measured by the lottery is the number of hardcore fans around the country with the foresight to advance their tickets and the money to travel.
Phish will sell out anywhere they tour, so it's really just a question of logistics and where the band prefers to play.

Plus, can Trey even leave New York yet?
And if he can't, can Mike Gordon play Jones Beach yet?Quote:

Since we're bearing our souls here, my first show was 10/31/90, and it was a costume-required show and I was the first one there (not being invited to any pre-parties), and I wore a toga made out of star wars sheets.
The following halloween I made a costume which consisted of duct tape over a sweatshirt and sweatpants painted like the human torch. To this day I have never been as hot as I was that night.
I am pretty sure Monsieur Pinner was at these shows as well.
I will do a little soul bearing too. I wore this Baja sweater I bought from the local head shop to my first show (and a subsequent Dead show that my friend's dad took us to '94). Under the Baja, I had a Grateful Dead Skeleton's in the Closet Tshirt and big wool hat with ear flaps.Quote:

My first show was when Phish played at my high school's Spring Day in May 1989.
I was 13, but did see my first phish show at 12. 8/14/96.Quote:

That 1st set is one of the best sets they ever put together.

I agree, but really the Tweezer and Ghost make that set. The melodic jam at the end of a Tweezer to OPEN A FIRST SET. Fuggitabouit.Quote:

So I fired "Kiko" into the disc player and sat back to watch a bunch of people proceed to totally lose their shit.
Fuggn clueless, one-dimensional hippies. :the_finge
(The next morning the neighbor asked, "Who played the concert last night? I knew it was someone big because of all the mountain cars parked in front of your house.")
That fuckin gave me chills. I was at that one. The town that smells like CHOCOLATE....... From there, went on up to the Clifford Ball. Stoke-meter is on high.Quote:

Encore: Crossroads
Show Notes: The jam out of Drowned (first since March 18, 1997, or 52 shows) included a Couldn't Stand the Weather jam. Bowie included a Take Me Out to the Ballgame tease and a Simpsons Signal.
The jam out of Possum was the face melter. Its the predecessor to the 12/7/97 Tube jam.
