Summer Tour Recap: Phish Summer Tour - In Review [Jambands]

In fact, Phish’s Summer tour, which is presently on a brief hiatus before it continues in August with three shows at Berkeley’s Greek Theater, has already covered all of the bases that fans have come to expect from Phish on every tour. While no show has been a start-to-finish, hear-at-all-costs shredapulooza, almost every show had something noteworthy. There were huge bust outs, blistering jams, goofy gimmicks, and now-legendary encores.

Summer Tour Recap: Thoughts & Moments You’ve Enjoyed [DogGoneBlog]

As the dust from tour settles, and we prepare for the next run of shows, we have a chance to look back on the highlights from the first leg. While some shows indicated a hesitance to explore extended jams there were many exploratory jaunts that brought us to that place. These moments not only foreshadowed the great possibilities for August, but left us with memories that will stand out in our minds for many years.

Summer Tour Recap: Cover Flow [Phish Thoughts]

In a clear effort to freshen up summer setlists, Phish unveiled no less than 10 one-time covers over the 18 shows the season’s opening leg. Placing some innocently within first sets, and others more dramatically within the depths of second halves, the effects of these songs varied from case to case.

Previews: What Can We Expect After Tour Break? [OnlinePhishTour]

While Telluride and Greek are sure to be amazing and beautiful shows, both playing to a select core of serious fans, Deer Creek and Alpine Valley are sure to be explosive all-out party shows.  No matter how amazing the Greek > Telluride shows are, I have NO DOUBT that the four DC/Alpine shows are going to be highlights for years.

Analysis: Phish and the Whale [Phish Thoughts]

As Phish rebuilt their foundation throughout 2009, their playing retained a sound rooted in the past, without truly pushing  into original territory. By the end of the year, a compact style of jamming emerged in which the band assaulted their audiences with a plethora of musical themes in a short amount of time – in short, musical density. But as we waited through the first six months of 2010, the question lingered of how this style would be applied, or rather, “When would Phish discover a new sound?” Never known for resting on their laurels, Summer 2010′s opening leg seemed ripe for the band to put one foot forward, and sure enough, that’s exactly what they did.

Analysis: Come Waste Your Time With Trey [Phish & the Dead]

So whether it’s just Trey being so excited to be touring with his friends again,  I cant wait to see if this teetotaler, will continue to lead with his mean guitar licks and whale calls…If you listen closely the harmonies they are making are as much vocal as they are musical.  Any night can be anyone’s but up to this point Big Red is back with a vengeance, one that feels 1998 to me.

While the jury is still out on Phish 3.0, the band in its current state is “a lot cleaner” than the previous versions, said Phish expert Ellis Godard, who has seen the group in concert more than 100 times.

“The music doesn’t get to the edge as much,” said Godard, executive director of the Mockingbird Foundation (a charitable organization of Phish fans), executive editor of “The Phish Companion” and keeper of the FAQ at Phish.net.

Previews: Today in Not Yesterday (And Will Never Be) [PhishNet]

Let’s look at Time Turns Elastic. I’ve advocated for Time Turns Elastic before, but let me just highlight some of that here. Those noobs who makes smarmy jokes suggesting TTE is only for pee breaks annoy me. Time Turns Elastic is a musician’s wet dream: I dare you to try to count it out. It’s got definitive sections, much like Fluffhead. It’s got a happy ending jam a segment, like The Arrival. It’s got some fun, warm sections, like Reba. And some tough-to-figure-out, intricate composed sections a la Divided Sky. But for whatever reason, there is a large group that simply doesn’t like this masterpiece.

Summer Tour: Two Nights of Phish @ Merriweather [WashingtonPost]

Phish’s triumphant reunion tour makes a two-night stop at Merriweather Post Pavilion on June 26 and 27. The last time Phish played Merriweather it was the single fastest sellout in venue history. So even though there are two shows this time around, don’t expect tickets to last much more than an hour. Again, you’ve got a while until they go on sale - April 2 in this case - so sell some extra patchouli and you should be good to go.

Now that the town has given the promoters the green light, we move on to the final piece of the puzzle - the band working out a deal with the promoter to actually play the shows.

Telluride: Mark Your Calendars - Phish [Daily Planet]

“There’s clearly an economic benefit to having them come,” said board member Dawn Ibis.
Representatives from the Telluride Jazz Celebration attended. The Phish shows are on a Monday and Tuesday directly following the Jazz festival’s weekend. Jazz’s director Paul Machado is worried that Phish will crowd his festival and that Phish heads will snatch up all the rooms in town, leaving Jazz fans nowhere to go.

But Terry Tice, president of the Jazz board of directors, said he hoped that the two events could work together and “it will end up being a win-win for both organizations, and the community as well.”

Telluride: Phish 2010 - Just Two Hurdles to Go [Jamtopia]

About a week ago, a seemingly spammy twitter post broke the rumor of a possible Phish run on August 9th & 10th at the picturesque Town Park in Telluride, Colorado.

Since then, the story has continued to pick up steam. It started with a cautiously optimistic radio segment on KOTO Community Radio discussing some of the hurdles standing in the way of Phish in Telluride, including among other concerns that the shows would immediately follow the 34th annual Telluride Jazz Celebration.

Telluride: Gone Phishing - Jamband Moves Closer to Coming [Daily Planet]

It seems like Phish could happen. Yesterday in a special meeting, the Telluride Parks and Recreation Commission gave the nod to promoters hoping to use Town Park for two nights in August to host the iconic jam band, known for its decade-long songs and wandering legion of fans. As it stands right now, promoters would release 9,000 tickets a night on Aug. 9 and 10 and set the curfew at 11 p.m. for the foursome. No opening band is anticipated.

But don’t start shouting opener requests just yet: Promoters still need to collect two more approvals, one from the Commission for Community Assistance, Arts and Special Events and another from the Telluride Town Council. The application will be in front of CCAASE next month.
