If they hit The Gorge I am so there.I have seen them there twice, well four times actually since I went to both shows each time, and I put that venue above even Red Rocks; where I have also seen Phish.The Gorge is the ####.Nice.

reminds me a lot of 94 phish, when I "got it"Just finally finished listening to all three shows, and the third night was a masterpiece.All four members of the band were tight as heck in the first set - that set could have just as easily have been played in 1997 and would have sounded the same. And the second set was a straight up monster regardless of era.They sound SO much better burning through their songs at a torrid pace than they ever did jamming off for half an hour on David Bowie or Harry Hood. That musical masturbation crap that Trey was into after 2G was what turned me off to the band in the first place - and I go back to Halloween '89 with this band.Staying tight and funky and exploring songs for a period of time, and then returning to the groove of the tune is what makes a good jam band. And that is what they sounded like on night three. They are a band with a huge catalog of songs, that knows how the song is supposed to sound, and jams off within the general groove of the song. That is what I originally liked about Phish, and that is what they sound like they are back into . . . .Now I just need to score some tickets to Mansfield, and then get the second half announced so I can travel back out to Colorado, where I never get shut out of shows.
Now I'm gonna have to check out these shows.That musical masturbation crap that Trey was into after 2G was what turned me off to the band in the first place
Yep - '93 - '95 or so was the sweet spot for me.reminds me a lot of 94 phish, when I "got it"Just finally finished listening to all three shows, and the third night was a masterpiece.All four members of the band were tight as heck in the first set - that set could have just as easily have been played in 1997 and would have sounded the same.

A grand total of 1 show in the country's most populous state, this bums me out a little as it will no doubt make tickets impossible to come by.f'n south gets screwed again

Doesn't Bonaroo take place in the South?f'n south gets screwed again
I'm more of a Southwest guy, I guess.Doesn't Bonaroo take place in the South?f'n south gets screwed again
If we both get in to all four shows: @thenjust put in my pre-order for 4 at the Rocks. GL to all!
Tennessee is not the south, though you can see it from there.Doesn't Bonaroo take place in the South?f'n south gets screwed again

Forget it. Just made a phone call. I'm in for everything.How do I pre-order?

Me too - especially '95. '95 Vegas and '95/'96 NYE in MSG were my peak shows.They had started the decline before the 4 RR shows in '96, and I was pretty much over it by '96/'97 NYE in the Boston Garden. I saw smatterings of shows, but it wasn't ever the same for me.Don't get me wrong, they produced some DAMN fine shows '97-'99. The funk years didn't exactly suck. But they often devolved into monotonous noodling, and Widespread Panic were significantly better during the '97-'99 time frame, and were the best band going - period - from '00 till Mikey died.Yep - '93 - '95 or so was the sweet spot for me.reminds me a lot of 94 phish, when I "got it"Just finally finished listening to all three shows, and the third night was a masterpiece.All four members of the band were tight as heck in the first set - that set could have just as easily have been played in 1997 and would have sounded the same.

That's more than enough.Welcome aboard!So, are you "cool?"Never heard a Phish song in my life. But my name is Trey. And I wish I was a Jedi.
This is true - I'm a late convert. First show was 97 in Raleigh, and didn't see them again until 99 or 2000. In some ways, I'm glad I missed some of the early stuff, b/c unlike most I actually had a blast at all the shows I saw over the last 8 yrs.Tommy wasn't there for "old times"feels like old times, doesn't it, tommy?Wow...I'm listening to night 3 right now for the first time all the way through.

Clifford Ball began killing the feeling for me. Not so much for the quality of the music, which was still pretty high (albeit starting to get noodley), but more for the enormous mob scene, marked increase in sketch factor in the lot/camping realm, lack of intimacy in seeing the band with what seemed like 100k people, etc... It seemed like many more dooshes started showing up at these shows around that time. I was also of the belief that Phish wasn't the type of band that could project "phishness" into huge stadiums and open air festivals... The 96/97 Boston new years shows also left me with a very sour taste in my mouth.That said I am very excited to see these guys again if I can, as it seems like they are refocused.I saw Widespread a number of times in 1994 and thought they were insane, but have not seen them sinceMe too - especially '95.

After listening to the Allman shows at the Beacon you have to add Derek Trucks to that list. The things he does with the guitar is jaw dropping. When it is all said and done people will look back at him as an all time great.I am just totally psyched that Warren Haynes is regularly touring with anyone and sounding great, Panic is coming off of some very heavy touring and sounding great with Jimmy Herring, and Trey is sounding clean and fresh again with Phish.Here's to the three best jam guitarists on the planet all at the top of their game in '09 - if things work out right, I will have seen one or the other of these guys 10 out of 12 months this year - and I thought this was going to be a light concert year for me with Panic breaking till the fall.(so far, Panic in January - well January first for about an hour; Warren in February; Panic in April; likely Warren in May; Phish in June assuming a ticket to Mansfield or a trip to Bonnarroo, Phish in July and August, Panic in September - sprinkle in some more Warren and Panic over the summer and things are looking quite jam bandy for me)
I wish I could do both.I've never been to the Gorge and only heard the best about it. Went with RR because that's home, and even if I miss out on Phish or TM selling me tix, I have enough connections to Denver and RR that there is no way I'll be outside the door of any of those shows.just put in a request for all redrocks and gorge shows
