Phish Festival 8

anyone going? just got my ticket in the mail. 8 sets of music 4 days of entertainment. phish is playing an early noon acoustic set with coffee and dounuts for fans. also they do a halloween cover where they pick someone elses album and slay the fuck out of it. the obvious festival antics will go down, and it will probably be the best thing you could ever do on halloween  and surrounding dates anywhere ever.

its at a polo club in southern california. it should be an amazing time. fields of lush grass, palm trees, mountains ideal setting. and perfect desert temps.

I saw them recently at shoreline ampth and they are playing like no band has ever played before. I also went to the festival in coventry, and i cant wait to see how much harder they are going to kill it at this festival.

phish live is like a dream you have had, but never knew you had it until you found yourself at the show. if you dont make it to the festival, check em out if they are within 5 hours from you. (if you can get tickets)

Dude, I was at the Shorline show too!  I was so stoked when they played Bold as Love for the encore, I think I was one of the first people to recognize it cuz I was the 1st person I saw jump up and yell.

I wish I could go to Festival 8.  No fundz for it though.

Also if anyone needs a ride that lives in Colorado (FoCo, Boulder, Denver area) let me know. I'm going with two others and it would be sweet to split gas 4 ways.

yea guys share rides n shit. this is going to be the ultimate. skip school, might miss a powder storm, but its all good. plus you can check out one of the worlds gems, joshua tree NP which surrounds the festival grounds.

and you get to see the greatest band of the last  few generations at their finest. real music is dying. phish could be the last band for a true musical expeirence in your lifetime. get it before its gone.

It is going to be such a sick show, I know a bunch of people going, I have to work though. Phish also released a date for November 27 in Albany Ny if anyone cares. I haven't seen any other dates yet. I am very jealous of everyone that is going to this show. Hopefully someone please post the antics and highlights of the show.

blob 1 this thing was a blob covered in ballons that could change any color. this came out during the set, there was so much insane art around i didnt know what to think

the first day was about getting down in the mass of people because thats what you do at concerts i thought.

set over, back to your campsite or to someone elses or to chill around the art and palms

the last two sets, specifically the last set was unbelieveable im pretty sure nobody missed a note, im pretty sure it was some of the best music EVER created, in an enviroment that had never been created. im not even going to try to describe anything else, buy the dvd when it comes out and see what you hip hop lovin thugs missed out on.
