Topic: The RUMOR MILL THREAD for **ALL RUMORS** [individual threads will be deleted]

[UncleEbinezer]

Because the 2nd leg of the tour will start either in July or August, and won't last longer than 2-3 weeks.  This isn't pre-hiatus fellas.  They've fallen into a set pattern of touring, and it seems they like playing solo shows in between.

Soph, how can you base their touring model after 1 year of tours?  I hear you, but I don't feel like there is any real pattern to anything from them anymore.  Other than, lots of Tweezer and Tweeprise.

altho, chicago is NOT a big dmb fan as a whole...

aw, c'mon, it was just a little poop and it really wasnt the band's fault

 

heh, i wasn't here for that occurence.. and i'm not a huge dmb fan to begin with...

but man, you should see people's faces when it comes on the juke box or when people talk about them.
talk about awful looks...

Things are a little different here in charlottesville...

Anyone else hear about these Greek theatre rumors that popped up on mr minors thoughts?

If 2-3 nights to open 2nd leg were at the gorge and then followed by 4 at the Greek I would possibly need to reconsider my CO plans... San Fran is a days drive for me and with 4 shows hard to resist.   Although I know I would regret not following through with CO

Phish 3.0 ver. 2

New and Improved!

3.0 version 2 comes with even more abruptly annaounced tours than version 1. Also a FOH crew that seems to know how to master the sound so that it sounds good on LP releases.

Sadly 3.0 version 2 contains a less folical keyboard player.

I would do 4 at the Greek if I had to skip Telluride.

berekely greek usually only does fri, sat, sun shows.  a 3 night run is possible but a 4 night @ the greek would be unprecedented, i believe.  dmb did a 3 nighter there last year or the year before.

Not that this is news, but the Berkeley Greek is f-ing sick, I highly recommend hitting it for anyone that can swing it.

I heard the Greek rumors as well. But 4 nights? I doubt that. The rumor is that its going to take place August 5-8, and Telluride being the 9th & 10th. I don't see them not taking a day off, but maybe they are attempting to keep massive amounts of ticketless phans from flooding Telluride.

A few buddys of mine saw the Stinky Cheese there in '07 and they said the venue is incredible. I believe it only holds about 8,000 though, so this should be a tough ticket.

[whatapiper]

8500 is what I've read, I could see this happening...

Aug 2-3 the gorge
Aug 5-7 the Greek
Aug 9-10 telluride

if so could I convince my wife to keep telluride in the plans?
I just can't see myself skipping 3-4 shows within a days drive.

[guyforget]

pt is calling the rumored dates to be 8/5, 6, 7, & an afternoon show on the 8th, with telluride for 2 nights directly afterwards.

if you cant smell that bullshit, you should pick your nose. 

i dont know if they added the dates to the rumor or if the dates came w/ the rumor, but theres no way theyre playing 6 nights in a row. 

i think 3 @ the greek is the max they could play, but i have had people tell me that they dont do weeknight shows @ the greek, so that would rule a thursday night show out, if true.  id also be surprised to see them playing a 3 night run leading up to telluride.  getting the gear from berkeley to telluride wouldnt be a fun drive overnight. 

[Declan]

the greek would be sick


although you smell bullshit guy, that afternoon set in telluride would be pimP!

[JPhishman]

Gorge>Greek>Telluride sounds like a West coast  head's dream!

(but I still want a Portland show.....)

[guyforget]

i dont think the greek is impossible and it would be sick if it went down

but mr.miner hasnt proven to be a reliable source yet. 

and the pt rumor of aug 5,6,7,8 @ greek is wholly unreasonable.  phish is not going to play 6 nights in a row and drive their gear from berkeley to telluride and have it set up overnight. 

rumor was in 2004 that they had 3 @ greek booked for fall tour, maybe the opener.  i dont think its unreasonable that they play there, but the 4 nights before telluride thing is not believable. 

id love to see phish in berkeley.

I don't see them NOT doing Wrigley simply because summer tour is over. This would be a special show and one that could very feasibly be a one-off gig. With the current length of solo tours we've been seeing, any one of them could still skip off for a couple weeks and be right back at it for big events like Wrigley or Indio.
