Now that I’ve had some time to let the shock and awe set in, I can see things a little more clearly. And I think this is exactly what the country needs right now. Just when you thought the world truly was going to shit with all the greed and corruption in the news every day, Phish reunites to bring some much need fun back onto the scene. Forget about corrupt politicians, forget about a pointless war, let’s just go rock out with four of the best musicians who have ever lived and thousands of like minded folks. The inspiration is sure to flow and then maybe we can figure out how to pick up the pieces and get things back on track again.
Wow, the day we thought would never come! Phish has just announced three shows at Hampton Coliseum in March! I can barely write down these words, my body is shaking with excitement! Everybody remembers what a sad day it was when we heard they were breaking up, this feels like the opposite multiplied by a million!
Hampton is an interesting choice, obviously it’s their favorite place to play, so where better to reunite. But it is a small venue, so it’ll probably be tough to get tickets. At least they have a two ticket limit this time, I remember shows where you could get up to 8, which never seemed all that fair.
They do mention more dates are coming in 2009, so even if we miss out on the first shows, there’s more phishy goodness coming down the pipe. Yeah!
Official word on the shows can be found here and you can request tickets here.
On August 15th, 2004, the last note sounded and the band walked off the stage for the last time. It was bittersweet, and for many marked the end of an incredible chapter in our lives. Since then, we’ve been left with our memories, and the shows that we listen to over and over, remembering all the magic that was Phish. There were side projects and solo projects and then Trey’s stint in rehab. And then it began, slowly at first, and then more and more. Rumors. Trey is out of rehab, the band is talking. What? Could it be? Is the Phish coming back? Recently the impossible is starting to look more likely, and we’ll be there to bring you all the latest updates about the return of the Phish!
