***Official Phish Thread*** (3 Viewers)

The BD got some media coverage, but fact is most people don't know who this band is and don't care.  
Which is kindof cool but really frustrating as well.  Its funny to see how music "experts" totally ignore this band.  I mean Rolling stone didnt even acknowledge them until the late 90's.

 
@Tiger Fan

Here is how I'm putting it into perspective.  I've seen Pearl Jam 27 times and that totals 181 unique songs (maybe a few more, depends on how you count certain things).  Amazing what Phish did.  And I fully expected them to.
More perspective: on a lark I just looked up the total number of original songs the Beatles wrote: 237. Coincidence? 

 
13 years ago we saw Phish call it quits. 

Who would have ever thought leaving Coventry that we would still be reeling from the Bakers Dozen 13 years later. 

To say "what a comeback story" would be a major understatement. 

Velvet Sea of Tears :cry:

Still gets a little dusty in the room when I watch that video.

Hard to watch.  Trey is such a mess.

 
Anyone doing ##### this weekend.  I had the choice between ##### or a weekend of the BD.  Choose NYC just because the kids were out of school.

The secondary ticket market is in sane right now.  Necessary evil I guess.   The last weekend of BD the lowest priced ticket was $400ish on stub hub.

##### is in the $150ish range.  They've come down from $200-250 earlier this week.

Free webcast for Sunday night!

 
17 shows at MSG in 2017.  Jokesters...
You know they couldn't resist....

Texted my wife with the link: "So which nights are we going?"

Her: "AHHHHH!! ALL OF THEM!!!"

Probably won't be doing all 4, but I think we're gonna put in a request for all 4 and see what happens.

Never been on the floor at MSG...I usually have the worst luck with the lottery.

Walked out of the theater and there was a dude with a nitrous tank. People in formal wear with balloons.  

 
So they announce Mail order for NYE sometime today.... Gen Public sale is Friday.

Yet Stubhub is flooded with tickets :cry:   How does this even happen????

ETA - Out of 4 shows I wound up with 4 tix for saturday night in sec 419.... Didn't even think there was a 400 sec. 

Probably worst seats in the place.... I'd rather get none and fend for myself - those seats shouldn't be part of pre-sale IMO...

My guess is it's people speculating they'll have tickets to sell.  They don't actually have them yet.

So you got tickets just to scalp?

 
Remember to be nice to each other and this is a capitalistic society of which I am exercising my right to make some easy $ and this is some of the easiest money there is.

Yeah That SUCKS......

I'll save you and your FBG rep..... sell me them for Face....
Nah.

 
Do what you want.  Phish has allowed that to a certain extent.

But when you come in HERE for no reason other to gloat and put a spotlight on yourself, you get what you deserve in HERE.  You know what you're doing is not how people of this fanbase, and other great fanbases like it, operate.  

 
On the FLOOR baby!

First time on the MSG floor! Got floors for the 29th, wife pulled Section 2 for the 28th. Also managed to get 400 level for NYE.

So freakin pumped. One of my best TM days ever for sure. Pretty certain the key was going for other nights at noon while everyone tried for NYE.

Hope some of you guys got in!

Nah.
Wouldn't "being nice to each other" also include helping people who want to attend an event pay face value for their tickets instead of forcing them to buy them from you at a marked-up price?  Or is that command a one-way street?

Glad he didn't get floor Tickets - that's where the money is.... Those are meh seats...

 
Every year I feel more incredulous that _____ band got into the Hall of Fame over our boys from Vermont. This year is no exception. Personally, I have no problem with inducting Bon Jovi (though they are not my cup of tea), but the Cars, the Moody Blues, Nina Simone (?!), and Dire Straits? I love Dire Straits but c'mon. I guess a couple of hits trump decades of originality and boundary-pushing, let alone well over a thousand shows.

Part of me wants to begin a grass-roots movement to get Phish into the Hall but a bigger part just wants to poo-poo the whole thing. It's such a sham.

are they eligible if so they should be a slam dunk all things considered.  No question

Jam bands have basically been ignored by the Hall with what I'm assuming is the exception of the Grateful Dead but no even sure if they are in. I just can't get worked up over it though.

I wonder this every year, never hear them mentioned either.  It is a sham.

Hell, they've had the '94 hot dog flying in that museum for YEARS.  Phish actually took it out for New Years '10-'11 and returned it with fresh mustard and relish!

Agree.  It would be an great honor for Phish, but getting worked up over it would be like complaining in the 90's that the DWD video didn't make TRL. 

 
Radiohead said they wouldn't participate if they got in (they were a clear slam dunk).  They didn't get in.  It's all marketing.  Nothing to really get up in arms about

 
Got floors for Alpharetta nights 1+2 and great (front row) pavilion seats for night 3!  Yeah, baby!

And Lod001, scalpers are among the worst of the scum of the earth in the Phish scene. Just so you know.

I think the problem is that its become so easy to relist tickets yourself on stub hub.  I've never done myself, but it would be an easy way to make a few bucks (maybe even a lot of money).  No phish fans admit it, but I'd be fairly certain there are people out there putting in for all the PTBM tickets then just picking 5-6 shows to go to and selling the rest. 

Wish there was a way to stop it, but there's certainly not an easy fix that I can think of. 

I'm gonna try and swing Alpharetta, but it seems unlikely.
