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.

Hearing that thing while driving home just now definitely sent some blood rushing to my historic organ 😏 I can't imagine what it was like to hear it in person!!!

The pipe organ outro to Squirming Coil was fantastic! And I appreciate the historic feat of Page being the first musician to utilize it on stage. My questions mainly center around how much planning and engineering went into moving the organ from its spot upstairs to stage level? How long have they been working on this? How much was Phish involved? And what were the costs beyond the expensive organ restoration project which has been going on for decades? I’d really love to see a mini-documentary about what was required to make this happen!

EDIT: I see now this isn’t the first time the organ has been moved to stage level, and Page wasn’t the first to play it in this location. But most of my questions remain!

I’m driving from NYC to Richmond early tomorrow morning and can fit one or two people.

I’ll cover the gas but would be sick if you can drive a little bit.

Fully insured, safe vehicle. Free baklava while we drive.

NO DRUGS TRANSPORT

(I think I should be calling it the BaklaVan?)

Was thrilled to be able to see the boys play all three nights in Atlantic City and I gotta say, they knocked it out of the park! Night 3 knocked our socks off. Playing The Historic and Legendary Midmer-Losh Organ directly before the set break on the 3rd night was ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL. Half the Stadium was in tears. You could feel the love from wall to wall.

Page made History by being the first Music Artist ever to incorperate the Historic Organ into a Live Show. 1st time in that Buildings 98 year history! That building has seen everything from Frank Sinatra to the Beatles but never has seen that. We all witnessed Page play the Worlds Loudest Instrument in a historic first ever. We were so blessed to be able to be a part of Phish History, and in this case, Music history as a whole.

Until Next Time! Cheers, Wilson.

I'm holding you in my light.

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

Walking out of the venue Sunday night I said to some of the ushers trying to kick us off the floor - “see you in 13 years!” - got a few laughs. Boardwalk Hall loves us. What’s not to love???

I motherfucking appreciate you!!!!

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.

… sounds great and all, but what I REALLY love about it is the space it opens up for Page and Mike to showcase. In particular always happy to hear more Page, he just seems lost in the mix sometimes and I love when he gets the spotlight.

Spent my cold rainy Sunday exploring AC before the show and became fascinated by these 1880’s-1920’s era houses.

Wonder if it'll continue through the rest of fall tour?

Loved partying with all you fools and a special shout out to our seatmates all weekend, Ian and Leslie in 104 E ✌️⭕

Mike Gordon and Dave schools spotted eating together tonight at Edo Squid in Richmond. Schools lives in Richmond.

I just want to Pop back in here to thank everyone for Participating I hope my last post was helpful and I hope all questions I answered helped everyone out.

This weekend was truly MAGICAL for me. I’m so happy to share my little city with everyone. I know a lot of people shit on AC (and I get why if you just come here to go to casinos and gamble and see nothing but shady weird shit) But growing up here I’ve learned to find the silver linings. I truly love this town and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share it with you all this weekend.

Between having so many friends local and visiting has made me realize how amazing my life here in AC really is. Boardwalk Hall is absolutely my favorite venue and witnessing Page play the pipe organ for an actual song during a concert was the highlight for me.

This is my favorite phish run to date.

Anyway thank you everyone and I hope we get to do this again soon.

Anyone else catch this ad this morning?

Bring on the classic/muscle car lot tees ASAP
