Phish Tour Thread*

I really enjoyed all three shows. I thought nights 2 and 3 were the best, with the Simple from night 1 taking the "Best Jam" award and night 3 set II taking "Best Set."

Although I absolutely love CO and the crowd was fantastic, I wasn't impressed with Dick's as a venue. I'd much rather deal with a tough ticket situation and see them play Red Rocks for four nights and do their "festival" atmosphere at other places like Randalls or Bader.

 

I would so much love a return to Bader, though I don't see it in the cards (no pun intended). That was one of my favorite Phish weekends the last few years. I didn't go to Randall's this year (Phish outdoors in NYC doesn't appeal to me), but it seems like that's replaced Bader and any hopes of a return there. Though at the same time, Boardwalk Hall has been the MVP arena of Phish since their return in '09, IMO.

I've never been to Dick's, but it's reputation has grown over the last few years to the point where it's a sell out for one or two nights on the three night stand. That kind of surprised me considering the fall run out west this year.

 

I really enjoyed all 3 nights, especially all 3 second sets, with sunday 2nd set taking the crown for me. I was just buzzing for hours after that one, without any enhancement.
Overall I would say this was the 2nd best of the 4 Dick's runs, with 2012 being tops.

I like the relaxed atmosphere, the big views from the walkways, tons of room to get down (in the stands anyway), and the acoustics, which are great for such a large venue.
They've really nailed down the sound there, after a shaky first year.
I like the way they mix large and small venues, so everyone can get their fix.

 

I would go to Dick's again if they did it next summer.

 

Ticketmaster leaked Skrillex's MSG NYE show, so it's now official that Phish won't be in New York for their fifth consecutive New Year's Eve.

All the rumors still seem to be Miami.

 

I wonder if they would do Boardwalk Hall instead. They (and we) love it there and AC could certainly use the influx of cash in the off season.

 

It's Miami.

 

Where are you getting this info from ?

 

The same place I got this info from:

It really doesn't matter, but no.

 

It's official: 12/31 - 1/3 at American Airlines Arena, Miami, FL

I really did enjoy NYE at MSG for the last four years (except for 12/31/11 - one of my least favorite shows). Always convenient to have shows at home, especially around the holidays. Since my "traveling to see Phish" budget will be spent on Vegas, I'll be skipping this year's New Year's run. Sad to see the little tradition established over the last four years end, but I'm sure lots of folks will enjoy the Miami weather over the cold of New York.

I've seen rumors posted that a short run in Northeast is possible for January/February, so hopefully those dates come to fruition.

 

Phish has been bringing it as of late. Can't wait for vegas

 

My mother lives walking distance from MSG, so that's always been a no-brainer for me.
Miami is prohibitively expensive, so that's a no-go.

 

I have a baby on the way, so I'm breaking my 5-year NYE streak. If I were going, I wouldn't mind the shift back to Miami. I had a great time there in 2009.

 

This is huge....Pro-shot video w/ SBD audio of Big Cypress is starting to circulate. Watch it on YouTube before it's pulled!

Here's the full video consolidated into one part:

 

Maybe this pushes them to finally just give it an official release!

 

Any Forumites coming into town for the opener in Eugene?

 

Seattle and both Santa Barbara shows will be webcast.

 

I won't be there, but they're getting ready.

 

Where's a new vault release from the band? Been a while...

 

What am I going to do if the World Series goes 6 or 7, conflicting with the SF Phish shows? Please Giants, polish this off in 4 or 5!

 

I faced that issue in 2009 when the Phillies were in the WS during Indio. Luckily only one game conflicted with the shows and they showed another on the big screen the night before the shows started.
