Tickets for Phish’s reunion tour went on sale on Friday at 10 am and were on sites such as Stubhub.com at about 10:03 am. Being a Phish fan, I attempted to purchase tickets to their shows at Nassau Coliseum, but found myself empty-handed after what ended up being a 3-hour long effort. For all of those people in my position, have no fear! Bonnaroo is here! And Phish is not playing one, but two shows at the music haven in the boondocks of Tennessee.
Any fairly knowledgeable and/or devout Phish follower must be asking themselves why the band decided to play at the roo. Let’s face it; Phish is capable of selling out the entire state of Vermont for a week. Why would they choose to play at a festival with many bands when they could easily hold the same festival with just the four of them jamming out for days? The quick answer: Why not? Phish has taken five years off to take care of their own projects and be with their families and friends. Trey, Mike, Page, and Fish need to get back into the groove of their own grooves before creating too much of a buzz around something that may still be slightly rusty.
Phish has given so much to its community and is now returning to once again spread its love and help keep the jam band scene alive. If you are lucky enough to score a ticket to one of their shows, enjoy yourself. If you know nothing about the band, pick up a live album. And if you have an extra ticket, let me know, be it through email, phone, or smoke signals.

This has all been wonderful but now I’m on my way.”
