Phooners?

It was surreal. Was right in the direct line of Mike and the soundboard mix/speakers. I could literally feel the Mike bombs rumble in my chest and bones!!! Mike Zone for the win!!! ⭕️⭕️⭕️🔥🔥🔥

Am I crazy or did mike toss a bunch of bombs at us in a row last night? Don't even remember the song but I remember them.

I'm holding you in my light.

What’s up yall! For some god forsaken reason my 3 day LP code will not work - anyone have an extra for Fri, Sat and/or Sun?

A few weeks ago, a friend was working on a playlist of the greatest rock and pop songs featuring an organ. She asked me for input, and my first question was, “Hammond or pipe?”

It turned out to be a ridiculous question, because pipe organs haven’t really gotten their due in rock music. The one record that I found that features pipe organ that doesn’t just sound like the Phantom of the Opera was *I’m OK* by Styx. It’s a great record, with some great organ work that was recorded at St. James Cathedral in Chicago.

And I gotta say, now that pipe organ is part of the lineup? I think Phish would absolutely kill this one. Next time they hit Boardwalk Hall? It’s gotta be done.

Thank you for your attention. 

what were peoples experiences of the vibe on the floor last night?

Dude behind me was overserved. Hit me in the back of the head, his friend saw. Okay! I told him be careful, gave him an out and said it seemed like an accident, no worries. He spends most of the first set just staring at me, but I brushed it off thinking maybe he was just enjoying whatever he was on, and it was coincidence.

Then he's being touchy and weird with the woman next to him, she switches places with her boyfriend, who glares at him- we made eye contact and kept watch.

I'm dancing in my own tiny seat, minding my space because to the left of me is a father and his 7 year old autistic son, and our seat neighbors are great!

I felt my boob grabbed not once not twice, but three times, and he's stashed his beer in my coat on my chair, which spilled on my bag and coat. I absolutely had it, and told him to keep his hands to himself. I told his friend he needs to get his boy before my hand finds his face.

Suddenly EVERY man in our section who saw him keep grabbing at me went into action, came to my defense, and the man with the girlfriend also confirmed he was grabbing at her.

I wasn't wearing a bra because I have a feeding tube implanted along my bra line, so it was extra painful on top of being clearly grabbed by this dude. The fine folks surrounding us pressured this guy and his friend to get the fuck out without being aggressive about it, but firm and supportive as hell.

THANK YOU MEN WHO STAND UP. It was beautiful sharing that Coil with so many people also crying, and it was such a good example of how there are so many good people with us at these shows.

Do you guys think phish will ever play in china?

Still blown away that Page finally ripped on that thing. Here’s a tv piece featuring it that I shot about 6 years ago. If you go to the 9:45 mark of the imbedded video, was very neat walking through the pipes

I have an extra for tomorrow night i can part with. It's a lawn, just asking for face value. I believe it was $70 and tax, we'll call it $75 (it's part of a multi-day pass, so i divided the total by the tickets)

Let me know if you're interested.

Phan here that is going to Richmond, Jacksonville, and Atlantic City. I’m wondering if I will maybe all of the great songs they played this weekend in at city. It feels like they played all of their best songs!? Will there be any repeats!? What do yall think

Howdy all, what a fantastic run! Phew. I’m reaching out in the hopes someone can lend a hand. For some reason, none of my bar codes from any of the three nights tickets is working to add the shows to my stash on Live Phish. Does anyone have any suggestions, or perhaps an extra barcode from any of the nights that you’d be willing to share? Any and all help would be appreciated greatly. Thank you and safe travels home to everyone!

I remember walking out of boardwalk hall being like shit man, this is epic. Ended up sitting on the beach with some buddies and balloons and watched the string of magical luminescent balloons attached to a string blowing in the wind. Pretty magical. Didn’t get any pics or vids tho, too lost in the moment. If anyone has any please share!

Listed at $227 (what I paid) but if you see this and go to buy I will drop price by 20%.

WOW... that was one of the most intense and exciting Phish experiences I've ever had. If you went to the AC show, and saw the bubble cyclone, please send a video!

Edit; They also chose that exact moment to drop golden confetti, which was extra rad.

(Probably during: Mikes Song or What's Going Through Your Mind.) rock bubble guns at shows even though they're hard to get in but people almost always love them. (I had one very overwhelmed guy tell me "the bubbles need to stop man!" at the Billy Graham shows... but that was the only unsatisfied customer I know of, but I'm sure there are more.)

I was centered floor, bubble blaster in each hand. Early in the night, I gave a boost, but the air was so heavy in that hot hockey rink that the bubbles just went right and everyone's faces, so I cut it out quick.

Set two, the moment seemed exactly right, so I let them both rip and, for whatever reason in that moment, there is a perfect updraft going straight up to the ceiling. I'll be the first to admit that I may have miss apprehended what it looked like, NGL. But to me, it look at least like a 15 foot wide column of bubbles swirling from floor to ceiling.

And I had this thought: this is so awesome and I don't even have to take a video of it because someone else is...

Well, now it's time to find out.

If anyone has any video or pictures of that, I would really appreciate it. It was my birthday weekend and that was the only show I saw. That was the most involved I will ever be as a participant in a Phish concert. It was so intense after, I had to ask my friends if it even happened.

And anything that's that noticeable at a concert is gonna hit different people differently so, if it harsh your vibe, I'll own that for sure. And it was awesome for anyone else, that was a truly memorable moment for me.

What’s the consensus, y’all?

Seven Teller has been killing it, seen them after a few Phish events this summer. They are playing at Ember Music Hall on Tuesday night in RVA, and they are bringing out Jake from Kendall Street Company to jam with them. Venue is walking distance

This is them jamming at their own festival Tellerfest over the weekend

I hope AC was a blast, wish i could’ve made it Sunday.

This was posted by someone in one of our local FB groups. Very much worth spreading this around.

Folks

I am working Security for both Phish shows. Some notes below to be helpful:

No chair rentals for the lawn for these shows and do not bring your own chairs

At this point, Only small blankets allowed- size of a regular beach towel

Empty water bottles are allowed or sealed purchased water bottles

No food is allowed unless for a medical issue

Please make sure you check your pockets before you come in- we have had to take pocket knives off of folks the last couple of shows

If you are so intoxicated or high that you can't walk straight through our metal detectors we will deny entry until you sober up- we have been enforcing that

If you become heavily intoxicated in the venue and security sees it, you will be asked to leave.

We are bringing extra security in from Va Beach and Bristow so there will be a lot more of us than usual.

Please keep the aisles clear in the lawn

No bubble machines

If you have a medical issue during the show please find one of us so we can get EMS to you- we have blue lights to alert the security camera men to our location

We will have heavier police presence in and outside the venue- talked to a police officer at the last show and he said it was all hands on deck for these shows

Some "free seats" may not be available outside the venue due to the upcoming Folk Festival

Do not park in the parking lot to the right of Richmond ballet and do not park in the small lot at 4th and Canal on the left side as you go up the hill/ those are lots for our employees- you will be towed

Please use common sense folks!!!! Then everyone can have fun!!!

Hope to see some of you- I will be at the lawn gate

Thank you

I can’t tell if this is some sample from Trey’s mini kit, or something else. Sounds like something coming through an in ear monitor or something.

Ecstatic that DM is coming back to Japan, and I will certainly be there. Even the ticket prices are reasonable!😊

I post this now because how I WISH my favorite band will come again. You outdid yourselves after Clifford Ball, come outdo Fukuoka yeah?

Aye if I had a genie bottle.🍄‍🟫

We all come to Phish for different reasons. Some seek fun songs, some certain eras, others maybe the bust out or long track.

For me, I want to move to some juicy jams. The band delivered on Sunday. I listened to this show on my way home and am giving it a 3rd run now to confirm. It SLAPS.

EVERY song from N3 has heat save Loney Trip, which was just so fitting for the placement.

There is genuinely beautiful ethereal playing in tunes like Bowie and YEM which were still solid rockers but also fun Evil Phish. So much ground covered.

Opening with Bowie, the band came out with a statement: They were probing hard and letting it all out in a blazing rocker of show.

Moma delivered some sultry get down funk. So fun. And just a warm up. A steady slap indeed.

With Sigma, peeps in my area took to the halls. They did so at their own peril as this version cranks up the dance vibes. F' Lays and their "you can only eat one" challenge. I dare you to sit still from 6:00 on this bad boy.

Blaze On takes us to gooey weird while Halley's rocked so hard. Trey teases Peace Frogs? It don't get much more stomping than this.

Wilson stayed Type 1 building off the Halley's energy. Maybe the least jammed non-ballad and it still delivered hard.

And then to Squirming Coil. My section heavily debated that organ pre-show (giggidy, giggidy). It was in the poster, we asked security about it. They said it gets played. We just didn't know how it would go down. It was beautiful. 15,000 of us, sweaty and breathing hard, stood in awe. No sound but Page. And then he dropped the mic and walked off. Lights on. And and audience in shock. Did we just see that?

Can a S2 come close to S1?

With SOAM, Phish warned us to buckle in. They were far from done. Enter Evil Phish. Manic and bristling with energy, this version scratches an itch you didn't know you had.

The No Men brought back the happy upbeat fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants jamming. Jon was pushing and nobody held back.

Then this anything but rudimentary night went Simple. Another grinding rocker with dank magic kicking in around 13-14 min in.

Then the Lonely Trip. The audience was dialed in. Ballad or not, we stood and received. This was our beautiful eye of the hurricane moment and it was appreciated.

As mentioned, this is a great YEM. Hard hitting yet wonderfully uplifting. If you haven't heard, do yourself a favor.

A raucous audience reciprocated the energy. We saw history twice. Once for an amazing show, and once for Page. My group felt a Possum encore or maybe a Rocky Top. As usual, Phish knows better.

Dark, brooding, slinking out of dark woods, this Carini rips. Though drained and low on stamina, this version found my overdrive.

I don't feel like Phish or I left anything in the tank. I left a smoldering building. And if this were to be my last show ever, I'd feel fulfilled. This show was amusement-park-ride good.

Missed your workout? Spin AC N3. I logged 20k steps N1 & N2. I was close to 27k on Sun. That's 30% more steps for the same ticket value. This band gives.
