Phish show at Champlain Valley Exposition
Tomorrow, September, 14th 2011, there is a Vermont Flood Recovery benefit concert being held by Phish at the Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction VT. The show was announced just a week prior to being held. Tickets were only availible through the Phish ticket lottery, and the box office at the venue in order to give vermonters more opportunities to attend then out-of-staters. Mike Gordon, the bassist, announced that they want to raise at least 1 million dollars for the charity. The show will be the first time the band has performed in Vermont since they split up in 2004. Their last showing in Vermont was sloppy to say the least so the band really has to prove themselves this time around. Tickets sold out almost as soon as they went on sale and are now being sold for $200 or more on sites such as Ebay or Craigslist. Those attending will be lucky and the traffic will be tough.

Alex,
ReplyDeleteIt would appear you are a Phishhead. I was lucky, I got to see them when they first started playing Burlington in the early 1990s at Nectar's.
Also, my buddy, who didn't finish UVM got to book them for various venues. Do you play any guitar?
I am not a huge fan, but I like them. This is a cool topic, perhaps you could focus the mindamp specifically on this reunion show, and pay homage to the band. Good Luck!
