Last night marked the official return of Phish, one of my favorite bands of all time [Yes, I'm aware that this damages my hipster cred]. But if you weren't one of the amazingly lucky people to catch this historic event don't worry because the guys from VT are making all three Hampton shows available for free download on livephish.com. And as all Phans know, this is no bootleg, this is a feed straight from the soundboard, so it is top notch. I am listening to it now, and I am amazed of how good they sounded. To be honest, I wasn't sure how they were going to sound seeing as they are all pushing 50.
The band opened the show with "Fluffhead", which was a huge surprise to me because they almost never played it live because it is so complex and difficult to get right live, but they did it nonetheless. Now I could go on and on about every song they played, including closing the final set with "YEM", a Phish classic, but seeing as this is more of an indie blog and my accomplices probably don't want me to do that, so I'll let you guys download the show and listen for yourselves, and trust me, it's worth the time.
Okay, so even though I am passed my Phish phase, but when I heard that they were getting back together I was jubilant. I must admit that I seldomly listen to them anymore, but whenever I do, I remember the genius that is Phish and I cannot wait to see them live. Back in October the band announced that they would headline a three night stand at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA March 6-8, 2009. More recently they have released more tour dates in June, so take a look and I strongly encourage you to buy tickets if this once-in-a-lifetime band comes near you. They are legends.

So, on Friday night, I finally got to see Phish live! I was supposed to have seen them three times prior to this show, but alas, people suck.
