NY TIMES DIGS THE PHISH @ SBIX

"In other words, a Phish festival is a distinctly phantasmagoric summer fair for adults who happen to enjoy getting down to improvisational rock grooves."

Yep, that's us.

If you liked this blog post, one way you could "like" it is to make a donation to The Mockingbird Foundation, the sponsor of Phish.net. Support music education for children, and you just might change the world.

Ya beat me to the money quote Phillip! I was going to wait until the print edition comes out tomorrow from the national "newspaper of record" (Page C1, front page of Arts section).

Pretty cool article, interesting about the lack of party scene backstage vs. IT.

Nice photos in the multimedia gallery too at http://nyti.ms/q1cf9r .

Great article. Great photos. Very positive assessment overall which I think is a fair reflection of Phish 3.0 to this point. Definitely a triumph for the band.

"An earlier version of this photo caption misspelled Page McConnell's given name as Paige."

Haha, no one can get that right.

This article makes me think back to Trey's quote during the Mockingbird in Vegas '00 (and I'm paraphrasing here), that "we are going to take break so we can do this for another 17 years"

At the time I thought to myself that there was no way this band was going to last until 2017, but here we are - 2011 and our future is very bright.
