Phish 3D: Review – Relivin’ Indio [Phish Thoughts]

On the other hand, many people have complained about song selection, camera work, editing, and the such. Really?? I have one question to these purveyors of negativity who complain that a Phish 3D movie wasn’t worthy of cinematic greatness – “Can you still have fun?”

Influence’d: How Phish Fest 8 Rocked Coachella’s World [LA Times]

To hear it from Coachella’s co-founder and mastermind, Paul Tollett, Phish’s hippie-dippy jam band idealism directly resulted in a sea change in Coachella’s approach to certain fundamentals.

Movies: Phish Festival in 3D: Coming Soon [Jamtopia]

Earlier today a page appeared on Ticketmaster that seems to finally confirm some great news: a theatrical release of a new Phish concert film.

Assuming the word on the street is correct, this will be none other than Phish Festival 8 in 3D, which has been rumored since the run-up to Festival 8 and now has a rumored release date of some time in May of this year.

Festival 8: Chopping Block Saved The Date [Chopping Block]

The goal of “Save the Date” was reveal where the long awaited next Phish Festival would be held – the first since the band disbanded back in ‘04. This was done by presenting users with an open map of the US and over time remove states not in the running with some kind of bizarre animation. First to go were New Hampshire, Idaho and West Virginia by having what seemed to be some kind of national cardiac arrest and they expired. Many more were to follow with strange eliminations such as getting blown off the map by God himself (image at top) to being flipped to death by a squid-headed Vanna White.

Festival 8: My Long Walk Down Festival 8 Mile [Wading In The Velvet C.]

Although completely unaware to know the machinations behind the work application process, I felt rejected and ignored by having signed up to (hopefully) work in VIP, and instead getting sent to haul ice. My overweening sense of magical thinking had me hoping I’d be plucked from among the crop of recruits, and brought in to witness and add to the vibe.

Festival 8: Duo Team on HD 3D Concerts [Variety]

AEG claims to have the largest library of 3D music concert content, which, in addition to Matthews, includes a number of leading artists currently in negotiation with the producer. It has already been reported that AEG filmed several 3D live sets of Phish from Festival 8 in Indio, Calif., in late October. According to Rubey, the company plans to roll out “best of” edition from Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits as followups to the Matthews feature in 2010.

Festival 8: Show Review – 10/31-11/1 [Glide Magazine]

With no traffic, consistent blue skies, palm trees and paradise perfect weather, the scene was something out of a Brian Wilson-meets-Jimmy Buffet odyssey.  And get this, day parkers could actually leave the grounds between sets and grab cold beer at a local Coachella valley convenience store or even plant our ass at a sit-down restaurant -  try doing that in Limestone, Maine.

Festival 8: Fest Doesn’t Bother Neighbors [Desert Sun]

Sherree Olson is used to the loud music and crowds when the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals are at the Empire Polo Club grounds near her home in the 81-500 block of Avenue 50.

But something happened to Olson last weekend during Phish Festival 8 that has never happened before: A “phan” thanked her for letting them have their concert in her neighborhood.
