The full band has to be on deck for one of the last shows. My dream would be the full band with strings for one show and then just straight phish for the finale.
Full TAB for the 2nd last show does seem to lead towards it. Page had that one minute video though where it’s kind of dismissed...but also maybe part of the plan...
Agreed. People need to def check that out. I’d say Divided Sky, Hood, and YEM were all very different as well.
Seems like they come off Twitch quickly. I think that’s more of a live streaming platform though, but not really sure. If I see them anywhere I’ll post here.
0.0% chance. I would think 2022 would be the first time we see shows. Hopefully at some point in the next 24 months they throw one last festival. I am dying to get one more in before its over
I disagree. If vaccines for adults are as readily available as flu shots, and if you have proof that you got yours (keep your vaccination card), I could see them opening these outdoor venues to folks that have been vaccinated and/or folks wearing masks. Maybe capacity will be some fraction of 100% this summer, but with vaccines in arms, shows can happen.
I hear you man but that just adds another layer of crap they have to figure out and I seriously doubt the venues or the band wants to deal with that. Plus I would imagine for a Sept show they probably have to make an announcement around june/july and believe it or not that is not that far away and the numbers for covid are still up there. I seriously doubt that they want to deal with all of the headaches.
That's the kicker, it will come down to the band's decision. I think these outdoor venues will be lining up artists the minute they get the green light.
In an interview this past year Trey talked about how page and mike were really taking this thing seriously so thats why I have my reservations. I just can not fathom the band giving the thumbs up to 15+ thousand venues. I bet they punt until next spring. Like I said hopefully a festival is in the works
I am praying they will announce a festival and soon. I am dying to take my two kids for them to see. Its truly an amazing feat to witness
Saw them in the Gorge in '97 but was tripping balls and memories are fuzzy. Hoping to get a clearer memory from this one. Man, it's nice to be able to see concerts again!
Ive listened to all the shows except the 2nd night and they are simply incredible the way they can slip into a 8-20 minute jam with ease. Praying for a festival announcement soon
Awesome! Except of course for the seven strains of Covid you acquired.
Its not Machine gun trey of the late 90's anymore, but what they've put out this tour is pretty much top notch Phish. I don't think many would argue with that statement.
Good topic. I remember in the late 90s when their trending away from progressive pieces (think: Fluffhead, YEM, Reba being replaced by Free, Sand, Twist) saddened me and it still does a bit. Granted in the intervening twenty years, they have put out Petrichor, Time Turns Elastic (which I like), Thread, even Mercury feels a bit Proggy. But I've come to accept that they, and especially Trey, are middle-aged guys now. Some of his newer compositions downright bother me (Soul Planet, Set Your Soul Free, Blaze On, No Men in No Man's Land) because they're just too simple. Sure, they get jammed out (here is Soul Planet from 8/31/21 at 48 minutes) but the compositions are not what they were.
