The alternative rock band Phish, with Trey Anastasio on guitar, Mike Gordon on bass, John Fishman on drums, and Paige McConnell on keyboard, has recently announced a fall tour for the year 2010. Having just finished a Summer tour, fans are excited to see the band flourish for another few months while they play in various venues across the country. The band will be starting their tour in Broomfield, CO, and will finish it off with a three night show in Atlantic City, NJ. We can assume that the tour will be a mastering success, being that eleven out of the fourteen shows are already sold out, and tickets were sold out within seconds of being available. It is not surprising though, considering the phenomenal experience the band provides for its audience; any phan can vouch for that.
The summer tour was one like no other, with each show better than the next. I followed the band for four straight days, starting out in Hartford, CT and ending up in Saratoga Springs, NY. I can easily say that it was the best four days of my life. Each show provided me with a new, incredible experience, with the most talented music from our day. Trey tore it up from beginning to end, driving the crowd crazy with each arpeggio and chord change. Paige, Mike, and John follow Trey's lead when it comes to improv, and they all succeed in creating a symphony of musical euphoria.
Not only was the music impeccable, but the crowd is also what makes the scene. At a phish show, you will not find one single person in the crowd just standing around. Every person knows each word to every song, and not one person is standing still. So if you like to have a good time and listen to awesome music, be sure to hit up the upcoming fall tour. You will not regret it!
Soooo pumped for the Phall Phish concert. Enjoyed your summary of the shows you saw and they seem like a good time.
ReplyDeleteGood first posting. I especially enjoyed learning a little about the band as it's one of my son's favorite bands (along with Rush). You mention that these were the four best days of your life and I don't think you said enough to justify that statement. Or, maybe what you said was general and I was hoping for specific moments that happened to/in you that stand out.
