Not heady, maaaaaan...

bummer

Fluffhead opener

Sounds about right

cmon it was a phish concert!

the band sounded great. cant wait for this summer!

The shows were very good, wish I was there. Summer should be fun!

Who is Phish?

never understood the appeal of these guys

looks like the police had to shoe em whos the man.

Brilliant sting operation, Phish. You fooled everyone, we all thought you were just broke.

that's about $17 confiscated in drugs and money per person, not really that much...

if you can't do drugs at a phish show the terrorists have won.

Because police never use or deal drugs themselves.

hacky-sack anyone?

excellent. phish paid for the cops.

Are the fucking Spin Doctors going to start playing again too?

the singer of the spin docters plays with his new band in sunnyside, queens like every month or so. no joke

That arena only holds 12,000 people. 3 nights. 75,000 people went?

I'm not sure the Spin Doctors would sell out an arena...

Those shows were amazing.

"That arena only holds 12,000 people. 3 nights. 75,000 people went?"

A lot of people went w/o tix hoping to score some, others I'm sure just went to be there.

Did you guys listen to the recording of the shows? I thought they sounded tight but scared to let loose. Maybe over time they will get back in the groove and open up a little more.

It's cool see them four in a row again.

phish proved this weekend why they are so talented. as a big fan of indie bands, it was so refreshing to see raw musical talent deliver over three great shows. yes, some of the lyrics are silly, but if indie bands could be even 1/10th as good musically as phish, i would be a lot happier. they all need to practice a lot more!

Yawn

Awesome playing, great venue, and just a fantastic weekend. the boys really are back (unlike in 2002). while phish isn't for everyone, if you like it, you'll love it.

Ya'll see The New Yaps down there?!?! That dude is on fiiiiiiiiiiiire!!!
Hammer Drunk!

Hee Haw... Yaps.

ACID!

i hear the bass player likes young girls. 10 year olds.

Shooting fish in a barrel.

Or ... shooting Phish in a barrel?

bv should ban the ONE PERSON making all the yaps comments.

Obviously inflated numbers to prove a point. Each cop confiscated over $6000 over three days??? Right.

There were not even close to 75,000 people there. About half the people had 3 day passes. so that means about 22,000 people max went to the shows combined. Yeah, there were probably an extra 2,000 to 4,000 people just wandering around and partying, but that's still in the range of 25,000 people total for the whole weekend.

Phish also picked up the $1.2 million tab to rid the area of the heavy patchouli and veggie burrito odor.

Why were they seizing cash? It's illegal to have cash?

thats funny. i made $40,000 that weekend dealing. what recession?

white people are dumb

Hi Jim and Shira!

why focus on the drug headline? that is not news. i agree with 11:09 completely: "yes, some of the lyrics are silly, but if indie bands could be even 1/10th as good musically as phish, i would be a lot happier. they all need to practice a lot more!"

hippies should be arrested

fuck jam band music and fuck hippies

$1.2 million in DRUGS, are you kidding me?

Did someone drive a semi-truck full of weed there and hang a sign saying "drugs for sale"?

These numbers are such police bull shit.

I doubt there were a lot of people doing coke or heroin, and last time i checked weed and acid were still pretty cheap.

No f'n way they confiscated that much sh*t. I saw almost ZERO police presence and ZERO crackdown on drinking, partying, etc. BS. Of course, I was a lot snob and stuck to the private massage lot.

We paid for the police presence?!?! Crap, we thought we were paying for presents for Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland!

what are those sticks that they spin around and throw in the air? Devil Sticks? I want some of those..... HAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAA

I want a ganja goo ball.
