Any Phans going to Coventry? |
|
For you old fogies out of the loop, Phish is breaking up this August. They're doing one more tour and are having a HUGE festival in Coventry, VT on August 14th. Any DU'ers attending? Ill be going to Camden and then up to VT. We should get together. Ill show you how a VA DU'er does things ;) Seriously though, reply or PM me if you're going. It'd be cool to meet another evilDUer.
-Alec
p.s. Get the 6/18 Brooklyn show from this tour. It is absolutely SMOKIN!
p.p.s Here is what Trey says about the band breaking up. Its a good read, even if your not a Phan:
Last Friday night, I got together with Mike, Page and Fish to talk openly about the strong feelings I've been having that Phish has run its course and that we should end it now while it's still on a high note. Once we started talking, it quickly became apparent that the other guys' feelings, while not all the same as mine, were similar in many ways -- most importantly, that we all love and respect Phish and the Phish audience far too much to stand by and allow it to drag on beyond the point of vibrancy and health. We don't want to become caricatures of ourselves, or worse yet, a nostalgia act. By the end of the meeting, we realized that after almost twenty-one years together we were faced with the opportunity to graciously step away in unison, as a group, united in our friendship and our feelings of gratitude.
So Coventry will be the final Phish show. We are proud and thrilled that it will be in our home state of Vermont. We're also excited for the June and August shows, our last tour together. For the sake of clarity, I should say that this is not like the hiatus, which was our last attempt to revitalize ourselves. We're done. It's been an amazing and incredible journey. We thank you all for the love and support that you've shown us.

Went to first night of brooklyn and have tix for Camden.
I foolishly thought Coventry wouldn't sell out so I was lackadasical on getting the tickets. Hence, I'm out of luck :(

10. I bet they go old school |

Let it be's not a bad choice, but I wouldn't be suprised if they dig out the a cappella Amazing Grace from the good old days.
