so who is going to see phish?

[ticketchecker]

Is CT the hotest tic of Summer Tour? I tried to book a room 12 hrs after announcement and all booked.

Not sure but I looked at room rates when I did the ticket request, $400 ish surcharge for both show nights. If I get tix will explore boondock options which are likely minimal to non existent around there

LOL

you gotta book on the rumors.

[NBABUCKS1]

how'd we do?

in for dicks:

fri (lotto - fields)
sat (tm onsale - stands, lucky no tm fuckery)
sun (lotto - stands)

[stapes]

Got a set of Dicks fields in lotto and another 4 day pass today for a buddy.

[meter-man]

Sat and Sun stands for Dicks

3 tix together in the pavilion for Sunday at Alpine Valley. $105 each. Nearly all of the pavilion seats I saw available were Charity Platinum at $412 each. FUCK. THAT.
I'm sure I'll find tix for Saturday at Alpine too, just may be in the dreaded lawn.

What are the chances we get a West Coast (California??) tour in the fall?

[NBABUCKS1]

no signals in the rumors threads they are playing fall out west.

it's going to be southeast.

[Whiteroom_Guardian]

2x 4-day dicks fields on TM on-sale. Easiest TM on sale ever. Thanks to Sphere and Mondo.....many depleted all their cash for those.

kind of shocked dicks isn't sold out, especially with no dates out west.

sphere and mondo making it rough (a la whiterooms post)?

times are tough?

people over phish dicks in denver?

[possum]

I’m over Dicks, only went Sunday past 2 years

Haven’t even thought about getting tickets

I’m kind of over Phish tbh, made it almost 30 years. I will consider Sphere if tickets find their way to me.

that might explain it. shit luck.

Riviera was special. can't stop going back to those shows.

AND

just found out i'm going to the sPHere. i'm already nervous. so many unknowns, so much anticipation... one month away.

[NBABUCKS1]

hell yeah westoxified, congrats on the score, super tough ticket.

all 4 nights?

[westoxified]

surreal story. i was sitting at the Powder Keg sipping a beer, waiting for the bus and enjoying a nasty YEM that the cook was playing when i checked my email to find Dick's lotto victory notification. i decide to show the cook my Ski Gamehenge/Turquoise Mountains pin on my goggle strap. he doesn't get it. i then get on the bus and get word that i'll be headed to Vegas for all 4.

*non Phish head alert*

so like, after all the hype and the channel 5 news story and what not, I would really really love to see Phish - but at this point, is that even possible without major bullshit? is getting a ticket outside a show feasible? is there any way to not spend $300+ on a band I've never seen?

just feels like seeing Phish would be a total Bucket list item for someone who likes live music

Do it!! I highly recommend catching at least two shows in a row, but if Dick's is the closest for you then it can't hurt to see three or four. It's looking like you'll have no problem getting cheap seats in the stands ahead of traveling there. Tickets don't seem as competitive there this year.

[hawkgt]

another vote to go see phish but more importantly, enjoy the crowd. I was all nights first 9 years of dicks but only good for a show every couple years now. hell of an experience and dicks offers good sound all around. page side for shade late in day

To answer: yes, definitely go check out a show or two. They are really really fun. If you don't know anything about them, I'd start with listening to Slip, Stitch & Pass, which is a live album from 1997 that's available on all the streaming services. I am 100% a fan of the music. The scene is fun, but probably may not resonate unless you are an angsty teenager. Also, fuck the nitrous mafia. I hate that shit.

I didn't know what you meant about the Channel 5 thing, so went and searched it up. That's the funniest distillation of Phish kookery and wook behavior I've seen.

Here it is, in all its glory:

[NBABUCKS1]

hell yeah westoxified again. what a day.

Sucks you didn't post this last year (edit: two years ago 2022) tgapp. Phish lite (trey anastasio band) played red butte in late May and is a pretty good approximation to Phish.

but phish at dicks is something else. Like the whole phish lot thing in that video goes at dicks. There really are no rules there anymore for the whole circus.

[Woodsy]

No rules you say?

Ha. These guys played my buddy’s wedding. He was friends with some of them. That was a pretty fun wedding!

I’m also kinda over Dicks, blasphemy I know. . But I’ll go again and grabbed tix this year. I cut back to 1 night in both 21/22. Ended up at all 4 last year. Every year I’m a little more torn. Wouldn’t mind if they switched it up.

getting to/from blows. not sure where else to play but yea agree switch it up. Not like there is a spot that can hold 20k people near downtown or other convenient location on the front range.

maybe if they don't sell out they may make some changes but if they sell out, why bother. Same as it ever was....

[MakersTeleMark]

I was burned out on Dicks when camping stopped. The illusion of where I actually was set in.

[MakersTeleMark]

Vegas baby. Enjoy all.

It's different.

Unique visuals on every single song is difficult and expensive.

Liked:

- ambient stuff
- geometric stuff
- nature stuff (farmhouse, stars, moon, mountains). The Fall (Mikes) > Winter (lifeboy) > Spring (weekapaug) was sick. they put fire on the all the lines that went on the mountain lol
- my friend my friend video, the tv video live one was cool
- Sound was good as long as it was straight mix. Bass lines in the seats were sick as hell (haptic)

didn't like
- weird car things (hard to get down to a 20 minute tweezer to weird cars for the whole time)
- the emoji things of household objects
- shitty pixelated nature renderings in get back on the train
- When they started morphing and moving individual instruments during jams. Made them sound off tempo
- When they would put individual instruments on some kind of revolving 15 second loops that flew over you like a satelite. Hard to describe but it was just weird. Cool as fucking in a movie perhaps but in a jam it was weird.
- Line to get in from venetian was brutal - hour 10 minutes.

whatever:

- chopped up live cam video (forget song) and other random live camera shots.


at the end of the day it's really fucking hard and expensive to pull this off for any act. Takes a long time and lots of money to develop them. Then make new ones for each song and now it's expensive one offs each song. It's really hard. Sphere will have to figure out how to make the experience more turn key as time goes on. U2 fucking knocked it out of the park on video side and that's going to make it tough for bands down the road.
