There will be a lot of freaks on the road this summer, with
"The Dead" announcing dates as well.
I heard Phish will be announcing west coast shows later.
Fire up them Coleman stoves people!

Funny I see this thread today. I haven't listened to Phish much for years, but a show was playing on the XM at work today. I hadn't heard Harry Hood in years. Phish kick ass. I saw them about 15 times in the early to mid 90s, in the Carolinas. First show was at the Grady Cole Center in Charlotte. Cool venue actually. Also saw them in their only show in Boone, NC. It was on that trip (no pun intended) that I decided to go to school there. Great band, true showmen (remember the trampolines and the vacuum). Today, when I was listening to Harry Hood, I realized one of the things I like about Phish is that they tell stories, beautiful stories, more with their instruments than with their words.

Bump... They have given me amazing memories. I remember taking hippie Tom's bus out of Ojai to go see them.

*Phish Taco Weirdness Bump*
Waiting for the Lambone report...
it could take awhile, I'm sure he has the "post toasties"
Colonel Forbin stared up at the mountain
And wiped away the beads of sweat
That glistened on his brow
His tired feet were buried in the quagmire
And his bloodshot eyes saw all that lay between him
And fulfillment of his vow
And he felt his fingers wrap around a knotted root
And pulled his body upwards
To a sea green mossy boulder
And he dragged his weary sh#t-ass up the mountain
And he climbed so slowly
He climbed so slowly
Ahead
Ahead
Suddenly he heard the crack of thunder
And the rocks began to crumble overhead
And tumble down the mountain to the
Dismal swamp that lay beneath the jagged cliffs
through which his path had led
And the earth began to quake beneath his feet
And the mighty mountain changed before his eyes
And he stood amidst a sea of dust and rocks and stones
Cascading down the mountain
And a thousand birds were headed for the sky. Oh...
The sacred creed will be yours
And if you wait until tomorrow
The sacred creed will be yours
To devour
Yours
To seize
And to obey
Obey
When the dust had cleared, the colonel lifted up his head
And was driven to his knees by a blazing beam of light
And he saw the silhouette that stood before him
And he bowed in reverence
Trembling in the shadow of the mighty legend's form
Icculus the prophet stood before his eyes
Looking down on Colonel Forbin
Where he shuddered in the puddles and the muck
And he quietly addressed him
And he spoke so slowly
He spoke so slowly
Ahead
He said
Colonel Forbin I know why you've come here
And I'll help you with your quest to gain the knowledge that you lack
I call upon my faithful friend the mockingbird
To fly and seize the helping book and bring it to your shack
And a tree of knowledge in your soul will grow
And the Helping Friendly Book will plant the seed
But I warn you that all knowledge seeming innocent and pure
Becomes a deadly weapon in the hands of avarice
And greed
The sacred greed will be yours
And if you wait until tomorrow
The sacred creed will be yours
To devour
Yours
To seize
And to obey
And to obey
And the famous mockingbird swooped down out of the sky and landed on Icculus's shoulder, and Icculus whispered into the bird's ear, and it flew off toward Wilson's castle in the valley below.

mp3 downloads are up (and free!) on livephish.com
I've been way busy since Friday and haven't had a chance to get them yet. But I'm guessing they're pretty damn good.

After seeng Phish a bunch of times in small venues I really cant imagine the scene now. Not my cup o tea, but I still enjoy the music, in small 'doses'.
Edit- I watched some youtube video- the lightshows are off the hook!!! But they got no Fern!!! And we paid what, $3.50?!

Fern, the round, PC creative writing teacher?! She read erotic poetry at the break. I guess the band liked her so much they gave her an open invite to read erotic poetry at any show.
I thought the floor of the St Mikes was gonna cave in. Weird night.
"Fern" does sound like the name of a Phish song though!
