Phish!

No tickets for the lotter but I got my next shot in just over 6 hours... I'm planning on being there all 3 nights.

well that sold out quick...

Oh well, no tickets for me... I'll catch some of you on Spring tour '09 I guess.

What really makes me sad is how much scalpers are asking for tickets. If I knew that the tickets were going to fans who were going to the shows I wouldn't feel that bad but it upsets me to see the greed (and there's no other word for it) that surrounds the ticket aftermarket.

I'll just throw it out there, if anyone can't go I'll be more than happy to pay face and then some for the tickets (need one for the wife too).

Oh well there'll be more shows...

pfffft I wish. I stayed at my buddies house all night till tickets went on sale at 10 the next morning. We were online as soon as it turned and had shit for luck. It was either A. Immediately sold out or B. People bought every single one and were charging 150+ for a ticket. Phish is my favorite band ever, but no fucking way will I spend that much money to see ANY show once.

I'm with you, it just upsets me to see the prices the scalpers are charging. In some ways I can relate to the band wanting to play smaller venues, but I wish they would throw a huge festival again. Something to allow all their fans to see them. To be honest they could have booked stadiums and sold them out. At the same time, I have to respect them for booking venues that will emphasize the music over the "scene."

Curious to hear how the guys will sound after the years, and see if Trey actually stays sober. I have a feeling Phish 3.0 won't be nearly what everyone hypes them to be. Half the reason these guys were so popular was b/c their shows were basically a huge party. If Trey is now sober what does that even mean? No junk so soul.

And I read somewhere that Phish will not be having any of their own festivals. Rather than work outside the festival scene, they are working in it. It's smart on their part. They get paid tons and don't have to deal with the headaches of setting up a festival (cough.Coventry.cough) and can just show up and play. I just think this reunion is basically a glorified reason to get paid though.

It was the first time I saw Phish and I don't know what they sounded like before, but damn, they were amazing, dunno if that was the LSD talking. They played some kick ass songs, Piper, Wolfman's Brother, Heavy Things, even played some Beatles, A Day In A Life. I'm glad I had the opportunity to see them, that was a blast.
