well...  ok.  A couple weeks ago, one of my friends sent me a frantic text message saying that the Rumors thread/area from PT said Phish would be playing SPAC this summer.  I don't remember whether he mentioned a date or not, but he did manage to tack on a (sarcastic?) bit about the PT Rumors page never being wrong.....

Anyway, I immediately told him "not happening man, sorry," to which he replied "It could happen!"  I just brushed this off, because it came from PT, and the summer tour had already been booked.

Now, on Friday, this guy came into the store, 15 minutes before his first guitar lesson.  He was new, and was just checking the place out.  My friend had gotten out of his lesson, and we were talking, and after he left, the other guy was like "What show is this?"  I was spinning 11/13/98, with the SICK fucking Down With Disease that opens Set 2.  This is actually my favorite Disease, and is like no other.  Trey comes up with this chord progression that he plays...  oh man is it sweet.

Anyway, we got talking about the upcoming tour, and PT and here.  He actually knew of this site!  He's way older than me (well... maybe 10 years) and has been seeing Phish since...  '93 or '94. 

He then mentioned that Phish will be playing SPAC either July 24th and 25th, or July 25th and 26th.  He said that his best friend is like, the assistant manager or something for SPAC, and that these are the only dates in July that SPAC doesn't have filled, and that they're still working out the details with the band. 

This guy knew his shit...  I mean, I was able to actually talk to him like I talk to you guys, you know...  debating and discussing the differences between the early pornofunk of Summer '98 and Fall '99, and the effect that stopping the Hey exercises had on their jamming.

So...  I don't know what to think.  Have you guys heard anything?

I'm always down for a good rumor.

They used to keep me alive, from '05-->'08

First off, calm down.  Everybody knows somebody who heard a rumor.

Second, Phish will probably play SPAC again - maybe this year, maybe not.

Mattstick mentioned something similar in the Summer Tour thread a week ago or so....

Edit: a second too late....
Bring in the dude!

But isn't it being torn down soon?

You guys know the rule... If you weren't there, it wasn't anything special...

Anyone who ever played a part, they wouldn't turn around and hate it.

They wouldn't dare.

I think it'll be 2010 at least before Phish plays SPAC again--June will be the entire East Coast summer tour. Fall or winter tour will be indoor venues.

When you plan a tour you contact a lot of venues and place holds on buildings (depending on your ability to draw) - I'm not sure Phish will be playing SPAC in July, but I do believe that they contacted SPAC at some point.

There are no plans to tear down SPAC. There was a big plan last year (even got approved I think) to update the shed's appearance and sound system, but I believe that's been scrapped due to the crappy economy.

Gumbo72203

nah, what the deal was is that they re-did the pavillion's outside appearance.  It looks like a stack of pancakes now.  Sort of.  lol.


SPAC is definitely NOT going anywhere.
