I've been trying to think of anything that felt like this before and the closest I can come is when the Dead had to cancel the second night of Deer Creek '95. But even that is nothing compared to the scope of this cancellation. A single show after getting one is nowhere near as tragic as canceling a Festival on the day it starts.  I couldn't even imagine how I would be feeling right now if I had been there. I'm super bummed, and I was only going to be watching the sets on TV.

Fyrefest is the only thing I can think of that tops this in sheer amount of scope and sucktitude.

At least at Conventry the show went on (kinda).

But, I don't think our fans do happily lap it up, I think they go online and talk about how it was a bad show.

All I know is that I'm not missing the next festival, wherever it may be. I was totally bummed to be missing this one, and was bummed to be missing the paug crew and other phriends after such a great time at Magnaball.

Here's hoping for a great take two.

You're entitled to your opinion but I'm going to laugh at it.

Cancel any plans for next August.

August

So, let's just give props to the best fans in the world.
Could you imagine other fanbases in the same situation?
Think there would be riots, violence, looting?
Phish fans were all "shit, now we gotta do all these drugs in one night. Hold my beer."

Kudos.

This, except Superball instead of Magna.

The move killed all chances of Phish this summer/fall.

Next summer is going to be Epcot!

So am I. I thought for sure Freeball was going to happen with an unannounced set broadcast for free.

You haven't lived until you've had a robot shart in your ear and followed along in the live setlist thread while it happens.

My thinking is that maybe they figured the people that got screwed over the most, the people this free stream would really be for, would be busy traveling back home over the weekend.  So if it is something they proposed to each other, maybe it won't be until this coming weekend?

That makes a lot of sense. I hope it happens.

You and a couple hundred thousand people.

I saw a few instagram posts of a crew of Japanese phans (Japhans?) who apparently flew to the states for curveball.  Fuck, that had to suck.
