Phish fans confront the police
August 6, 1996 - The Denver Post
By Patricia Callahan
MORRISON - Hundreds of young fans of the rock group Phish in tie-dye clothing and grungy flannel shirts jammed city streets here last night, dancing to the beat of bongo drums and chanting at heavily armed police who termed the scene a riot.
Police, some clad in riot gear, shut down the main road into town for a time last night as they tried to move the gathering, estimated at more than 400, out of downtown. Several people were injured, including some from thrown bottles. Authorities reported 10 arrests. Shortly before midnight, the Denver Metro special weapons team poured out of vans to help disperse the crowd.
"It sucks, dude, because when cops and kids clash, it gets nasty," said John, a 20-year-old in dreadlocks from North Carolina who wouldn't give his last name.
The late-night melee was the culmination of two days of tension and apprehension that had built as thousands of itinerant fans of the band Phish flooded the town for a series of concerts at nearby Red Rocks.
Most didn't have tickets, and few had more than a car or campground to stay in. Many set up shop on the streets of Morrison. It was a generation gap in the making.
"There's just too many young people in too small a town," said Carl Boynton, mayor pro-tem of Morrison. "The kids are effectively shutting the town down."
The boiling point came about 8:30 p.m., when a man driving a truck hit a woman crossing Bear Creek Road. Witnesses said the kids surrounded the woman and one young man kicked the truck. The stories diverge there.
"The crowd started rushing the officers, and quite a few bottles were thrown," said Morrison Police Sgt. Murray Goldberg. "The crowd became ruder, and fights broke out."
Officers from several jurisdictions begin pouring in.
"The kids didn't start the riot, the police did," insisted Joey, 19, of Indiana who also wouldn't give his last name.
Police told local businesses to close down after the incident occurred. David McCleve, who was working at the Bradley Sinclair service station, said police came to the shop and said, "It was going to get bad."
By 11:30 p.m. police started letting groups of five young people through their barricade. The crowd started to disperse.
"What are we going to do, hit them with our tie-dyes?" John Zoe, a 20-year-old from Indianapolis, said sarcastically.
Fans had come by the hundreds from across the nation looking for a miracle - a free ticket to the show of their dreams.
But miracles, and tickets, were hard to come by. "There aren't any tickets," King said. Between 200 and 300 Phish fans, most in their late teens and early 20s, are camped in an empty lot close to C-470 near Bandimere Speedway, the latest stop as they follow the band's tour.
To support themselves, the campers sell everything from gooey delicacies they say are made of oats, honey, coconut and marijuana, to knitted caps.
Don Cameron is helping to oversee the fan camp, established at the request of Morrison officials irritated by the influx of band followers last year.
The Phish fans, he said, are well-behaved. "These are probably the nicest kids you could ever meet," he said. But a Denver Post photographer said fans surrounded and angrily questioned him about whether he was a government agent when he visited the camp yesterday.
Morrison business owners are somewhat unhappy with the crowded streets, saying the fans drive other customers away.
"Everybody is well-behaved (but) it just kills my business. It is an invasion, no question," said Virginia Paul, owner of the Morrison Country Store.
The only business making money is the local liquor store, said Jim Nichol, manager of Tony Rigatoni's restaurant. Indeed, several people were sipping from open beer bottles on the town's streets.
Police Chief Bob Wasko said when his officers catch people drinking in public they ask them to pour it out. He is videotaping the scene in Morrison so he can show Denver and Fey Concerts officials the chaos the Phish fans have created.
well let it be known that whoever didn't get tickets to hampton, can purchase 3 nights on ebay for a meager fee of no less than $1250 on ebay....

So there is still a following for Phish. Interesting. I figured when they broke up all the hippies would cut their hair and got jobs. My first show was summer of 96. Got kicked out of a show in 97 for throwing a glow stick. Damn the man!!!!
Oh yeah, was anyone on here on "Phish Phorum" on AOL????? Jesus christ this is embarrassing, but I actually met and lost my virginity to a girl I met on there. LOSER!
Ha. Aol "Phish Bowl". Yeah I was on there with the other 50 people.Quote:

Vermont (AP) -- Jon Fishman, drummer of the eclectic rock band Phish, was hospitalized today after a wind turbine malfunction near his Vermont home. Fishman is reportedly "OK", but plans for the upcoming Phish reunion shows in Hampton, Virginia may be put on hold as he recovers from severe ligament damage to his right foot.
Phish frontman and guitarist Trey Anastasio commented on the accident. "These kinds of things happen, you know what I mean? Fish just made an honest mistake. He's been passionate about wind power for awhile now, and he's been up there working on that monstrosity in his yard, and I guess he didn't get some bolts tight enough or something, you know what I mean? I'm just happy that Fish is alive."
Fishman was injured when one of the blades on his wind turbine fell free of the structure and flew toward him. In an attempt to escape injury he tripped over the cord of his power drill and damaged his foot.
"I'm just so disappointed," commented Phish's Page McConnell. "He was getting so tight with Mike (Gordon, bassist of Phish). They were like the meat that makes up the Phish sandwich. I feel really bad for all of our fans who were looking forward to this so much. But I'm really just happy he's ok."
Fishman stated that he has no plans to stop construction on his wind turbine, adding that renewable energy sources are more important to society and the world than music. "I just don't think, when you look at everything going on in the world today, that a rock band is really that important. We need to come up with viable alternative energies. When I'm healed up, I'm hoping to power the Phish reunion with wind power. A truly eco-friendly concert could make a difference."
Phish has not rescheduled their reunion concerts yet, but plans are in the works for a summer comeback at Colorado's Red Rocks Ampitheater in July.

+++++VIBES+++++ to all affected by this horrific tragedy
"I'm just so disappointed," commented Phish's Page McConnell. "He was getting so tight with Mike (Gordon, bassist of Phish). They were like the meat that makes up the Phish sandwich.":D:D
That cracked me up, too, BSS.
BTW, I thought of you when I passed by a snow-covered Drumlin's golf course a few weeks ago.
And John (Fishman) grew up ~ a mile away...he knows Johnny's is the shit, Pizza-wise. Word.
