Additional Phish Summer 2009 Tour Dates
Purple Rain...I mean lights.
Oh yeah baby! Phish has announced additional dates for their summer tour. Many of the dates are old stomping grounds. One that I am particularrly interested in is a return to Merriweather Post Pavilion! I saw Phish there in ’98, ’99, and 2000. In fact my fist Phish show was at Merriweather on August 8th 1998. It was a fiasco getting to the venue and I arrived late. Since I had never been to one of their shows before I was not prepaired for the traffic and I completely missed the lot scene that day. When I finally did arrive the first set was almost over. The second set was absolutly killer. Not till my later years did I realized just how special the show was. Can’t wait for that one.
Also thinking about hitting them up for a Red Rocks show. My friend Jeremy and I have been talking about a road trip out to the venerable venue sometime this summer for a show, but didn’t know who to see. With the additional summer dates from Phish I think we found our reason to travel out there. Not sure if we will try for all shows or not, but at least one Red Rock show would be great.
