This would be awesome if it was still 1993 and if I didn't despise Phish fans with every hate-capable ounce of my being.

Are they going to be making a stop in Limestone, ME, like they did back in their heyday?

Let me know if they do. I'll start biking. Or buy a helicopter. Holy crap did that fark the roads up.

Yay!

Somebody please explain to me why Phish is actually worth mentioning?

It was crazy in 2003. We drove down to Caribou and stayed at a friend's house until the roads cleared after the show in Aug.

I for one am happy they are playing again.

Speaking as a former frequent Phish concert attendee, this news does nothing for me.

Nothing lasts forever, and there's only so many times I can hear a 35-minute version of YEM.

Approves and is still alive.

Exaclty. But I have to say that the summer festival shows were fun despite Phish's post-hiatus performances. Even Coventry was a blast. There aren't a lot of places worth traveling to in order to meet the types of beautiful freaks that are drawn to a Phish show. I'm crossing my fingers for some Limestone action.

Obviously a relative n00b here, since I wasn't around when Phish was still together previously, but it is nice to see another band return to the ranks of the "auto-despise" bastion on Fark.

Trey, meet Dave, Chad, Dane, Carlos, Gwen, Kanye, Lars...

Damn. That's pretty obscure.

I, for one, was hoping they'd hold out for a bit longer. Anyway, hopefully I can make it to Hampton.

 
KingKauff 2008-10-01 03:34:16 PM  
"Then before and now once more, I'm bouncing round the room"

Agree with xanadian and GurneyHalleck. They need to do a festival again. Went to Lemonwheel in 98 with my brother. Outside of my honeymoon, that was the best week of my life!

Gonna be floating in the blimp alot, wishing I was Prince Caspian, and hoping that the stars don't suck tonight as I dust off some shows from the early to mid 90's. Any suggestions? Got so many, it's hard to choose.


/Rift FTW

 
Teddy Hopper 2008-10-01 03:35:25 PM  
Set the gearshift. I'll see some of you biatches in Hampton.
Hope they festivize somewhere fun and remote mid-summer.

I've gotta ask you haters: Can you still have fun?
(Thats rhetorical, I really don't care.)

The nitrous oxide manufacturers/distributors of America are getting a kick out of this news!

Anything from August '93. Go!

Birds of a feather will have a secret smile bouncing around the room and split open and melt but it wont be free at the farmhouse for they demand a fee to for you enjoy myself

phark YES!
My first show was in 2003, I was a pissed off 325lb kid. This band changed my life. After seeing them everything in my life got better. I simply look at the world differently and I have 4 weirdo's from VT to thank.

I hope I get tickets!

WOOT WOOT!!

The May 4 show in NOLA would put them in town during JazzFest, which would be beyond perfect! Although, I could do without them playing Bonnaroo...I'd much rather them do their own multi-set fest instead of play a headline set along with the rest of the (mostly) craptacular bands Bonnaroo has been pulling in for the last couple of years.

Yes Please - 3 days someplace remote to end the Summer.

 
turnonyrlovelite [TotalFark] 2008-10-01 04:03:10 PM  
I just entered the raffle. Please, God, I'll believe in you if you send me tickets.

/see you at Hampton

 
insulatedmug 2008-10-01 04:11:58 PM  
Time to bust out 12/31/02 and listen to the Piper opener. It still gives me chills.

Good luck to all those trying to get Hampton tickets!

/waits for summer tour

Not trying for Hampton tix. Waiting till they come to NY. I wanna take my daughter so bad.

that is outrageous. bonnaroo has been rocking for years! last year kicked ass (assuming you avoided the obvious kanye's).

but yeah, everything ive seen/read about coventry. sounds like a nice place to get spun and check out for a while.

 
Teddy Hopper 2008-10-01 04:38:42 PM  
I would hugely prefer them to play their own multi-day festival again. Those things were my annual summer vacation for almost a decade.

Loring AFB was a way better site than Coventry. The acoustics over the airfield were amazing. And the runways were way more conducive to raving it up all night after the show. But Coventry is only like an hour away from me...so its got that going for it.

Had to make an appearance, Phish threads are few and far between...

Heard about it around 1 p.m., needless to say I've never been more happy. Going to see Trey on the 18th in Albany. Now I've got to find a way to scrounge up the cash for a three night Trey-gasm. See you at the Coliseum.
