Back on the Train

Posted on 7th October 2009 by admin in Festival 8, phish concert, phish news, phish tour

Ok, things went by the wayside over the summer here, but we’re back and just in time for Festival 8. Is anyone actually calling it that? I’ve been reffering to it as Indio, it just flows better, don’t you think?

So rumor has it ticket sales haven’t been great, hence the two marketing moves of announcing the acoustic set and the “play the last album left alive” gig on their website. Some of the more traditional fans may be a bit irked by this somewhat “comercial” move, but I think this it’s a fair balance between marketing and creating some fun hype around the event.

I’m really looking forward to the acoustic set, how refreshing that after 13 years and 50 shows I can still go and see something completely new. And I think its great that we’ll have some idea of what album it will be, just think of all the pre-show speculation and anticipation. My palms are getty sweaty just thinking about it! See you there!

New Phish Album: Joy

Posted on 24th June 2009 by admin in phish albums

Phish.com is reporting that the new Phish album to be released July 28th is called Joy. According to the site:

“Phish will be releasing Joy, their first studio album in five years, later this summer on JEMP Records. The record was recorded in New York City this spring with producer Steve Lillywhite. Stay tuned for further details and pre-order information in the coming weeks! The last track, Time Turns Elastic, is available now at iTunes.”

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Trey said it “feels more like a live record than a lot of our live records.” I’m excited to see what that means, as they’ve always struggled to bring the live sound to the studio.

Here’s the track list:

1. Twenty Years Later
2. Backwards Down the Number Line
3. Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan
4. Light
5. Joy
6. Sugar Shack
7. Ocelot
8. Kill Devil Falls
9. I’ve Been Around
10. Time Turns Elastic

Can’t wait to check it out!

Phish at Fenway Park This Weekend!

Posted on 29th May 2009 by admin in phish news, phish reunion, phish tour

Alright, I guess it’s time to dust off the cobwebs and get ready for the next big Phish adventure! Our only summer shows will be the Gorge in Washington, unless some Red Rocks tickets miraculously fall from the sky. It’s a bit frustrating to have some big Phish shows going down in your own state but be unable to attend since apparently no one in Colorado actually scored tickets. But I digress.

How great is it to have a summer full of Phish to look forward to? Just like the good old days. Even if you aren’t at the shows, there is the excitement of checking the setlists to see what they played, and waiting impatiently for LivePhish.com to put the show up so you can listen to it. Or if you are the kind of person that likes surprises, you can always check out the No Spoilers downloads from Mr Miner. Just like being at the show, minus all the stinkie hippies and drunk frat boys. Sounds kinda nice actually.

So here’s to the return of Phish in the summer time. Two of the best things life has to offer, back together again!

Hampton Review Coming Soon

Posted on 9th March 2009 by admin in phish reunion

We had an epic travel day after the show, which involved driving 3 hours after the show, hopping on a plane, then another plane, then driving 3 more hours. Needless to say I’m exhausted, but the show was incredible and Phish is indeed back. I was fully impressed at my 47th show, and super psyched for what the future holds.

In the meantime, the Hampton Selists are here.
