has gumbo never seen phish?
:?

No, he hasn't had the pleasure.

Wait, not the REAL Phish, right?  Just the post-haitus phish?

Not any.

Damn.  So his head exploded for real this morning.

Imagining the scene from Chapelle's show when they're like, show us your face, to clayton bigsby....and the one kids head explodes...so funny....

for those that don't know:

The arena seats about 13,800 for festival-style concerts and 9,777 for basketball.

Rolling Stones played the Coliseum, and broadcast on the radio. The Stones also recorded a video for the song (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction during that show. The Grateful Dead played the Coliseum many times during the 1980s and 1990s. Their first of many shows was on May 4, 1979. In 1989, they billed themselves as the "Warlocks" for a 2-night run. The jam band Phish recorded their live album Hampton Comes Alive at the Coliseum in 1998, to which they referred the venue as their "Mothership".[1] On New Year's Eve 1996, the Dave Matthews Band recorded Live Trax Vol. 7 at the venue. The Coliseum is also the final venue that late Metallica bassist Cliff Burton played in the United States, before his death in September of 1986 in Ljungby, Sweden. On March 6-8 2009 Phish will return to the stage following a four year hiatus at the Coliseum.

The wife gave me permission to try and go...   methinks I'll wait and see if they come a bit closer to to town.  Not sure what to think though..  I am of course happy that I will possibly get the chance to see the phish.  But a part of me wants to remember them as they are on my cdr's and not have my thoughts tainted.  f'd up I know.

eh..  If they venture near Chicago I am in.  f n a

AWAITING HIS RESPONSE:

[ucusty]

First I have to say I am excited about this run, however they have to know all the problems it is going to cause.  13,800 is a pretty small as far as Phish is concerned.  Ebay scum already have tix for sale so they say.  I wonder if movie theaters are out of the question.  Why not a festival setting?  The whole paragraph on scalping is such a joke...

[redrum]

how many new tunes do y'all think they'll play on the first night (if any)?

how many new tunes do y'all think they'll play throughout the entire 3 night run?
