Phish Summer 2012 Tour Dates - Leg 2 I am sitting here trying to be positive, but that’s a difficult task.  Assuming rumors about a lack of fall tour are true, Phish will play four shows in the Pacific Time Zone in 2012. Having sold out the Hollywood Bowl in record time last summer, they take all that energy and hit the shit stain known as the Long Beach Arena. Then they move up to San Francisco for two nights at the craptastic ... Read More

Trey Anastasio w/ the Los  Angeles Philharmonic 03/10/12 Walt Disney Concert Hall - Los Angeles, CA Words/Photos by Reverend Justito Back in 2010 I wrote an open letter to Phish and the Los Angeles Philharmonic begging them to team up for a performance at the Hollywood Bowl. While we finally got to see Phish at the Bowl last summer, it was your typical two set balls to the wall affair with no sign of the Phil in sight. Thankfully my wish somewhat came true in ...

Phish Summer 2012 Tour Dates Phish has just announced dates for their summer tour 2012. As has been tradition since the band reformed in 2009, the dates focus on areas east of the Mississippi.

Reverend Justito's Top Ten Shows of 2011   #10 Rammstein 05/20/11 – The Forum - Inglewood, CA Oh those crazy German’s. I truly assumed I would never catch these guys again after the Great White fiasco, but there I was on the floor of the sold out Forum watching the band’s first North American tour in nearly a decade. It was all you could want from a Rammstein show – pulverizing riffs, shock value galore and lots and lots of fire. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogbZvtBesgw #9 Chris Cornell 05/04/11 – ...

Tis the season for giving, and if you're this writer, receiving. When given the opportunity to be bought into Phish tonight for their first of a 4 night New Years Eve at Madison Square Garden, how could I pass it up? Before anything goes further we must slurp the Revered Justito, who gifts me with this ticket to the show tonight (and note that his holiday gift is to be mailed shortly), gifts me with the chance to see Phish. I've heard ... Read More

thenaturalstoner's Top 10 Shows of 2011 2011 was undoubtedly my finest concert going year on record (out of 31!).  I saw over 80 bands, did several awesome road trips, brought in visitors from around the country to come to the Gorge Amphitheatre, and almost all my shows were at least ‘decent’.  Obviously some rise to the top, and some fall to the bottom... so here is my list of best concerts of 2011. 10) Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings 05/30/11 - The Gorge ...

Phish 08/05 & 06/11 The Gorge - George, WA Words/Photos by Phishbeard On the 5th and 6th of August 2011, the Gorge was once again blessed with the presence of Phish. Phans from all over America congregated for one of the most magical weekends in recent Phishtory. The weather was superb and the campgrounds were packed by the time my crew arrived at the Gorge to set up camp and prefunk for the Friday night show. We had numerous cars of people as part of ...

Phish Set For Hurricane Irene Benefit In Vermont   Phish  is scheduled to perform a special show at Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction, VT next Wednesday, September 14th. The concert will benefit Vermont flood recovery efforts. In the wake of Hurricane Irene, Vermont experienced its worst flooding in a century, which devastated communities throughout the state.

Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival 08/12/11 Golden Gate Park - San Francisco, CA Words/Photos by Reverend Justito Over the past few years, I have come home to the Bay Area on Outside Lands weekend. Yet instead of watching historic performances by the likes of Pearl Jam, Widespread Panic and Ween I have watched friends get married. With no nuptials planned for 2011 I purchased my three day pass the second they went on sale. Phantogram My friends and I hit the park Friday afternoon as New ... Read More

Phish 08/08/11 Hollywood Bowl - Los Angeles, CA Words/Photos by Reverend Justito I witnessed my first performance at the Hollywood Bowl in 2003. Sitting there under the stars, I knew that the historic venue would be the perfect place to see Phish work their magic. I’ve even discussed for this very website how great it would be to see Phish perform at the venue with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Having spent two days at the Gorge with the boys, I pulled into the venue with ... Read More

Phish 08/06/11 Gorge Amphitheatre, George, WA Words/Photos by Reverend Justito Note: As with part one, this was written on the trek from Spokane to Los Angeles. Pardon any and all typos.  For night two we decided to start the first set up on the lawn so I could see the sun set/get a different appreciation for the venue. Phish came out just as the sun snuck behind the ridge and played the worst set of the weekend much to my delight. It's not that the music ... Read More

Phish 08/05/11 Gorge Amphitheatre - George, WA Words/Photos by Reverend Justito Where I usually write reviews from my computer, we will make an exception and type this from gate B5 at the Spokane Int'l Airport (That's my way to say excuse typos/grammar cause I typed this on an iphone). You see, this is not a typical Reverend Justito confession. This is a dream come true because I can now say I have seen Phish throw down at the Gorge. 99% of the time you hit the ... Read More

Phish usually stops by Camden to lay down some killer jams and funky grooves.  Last Friday night was, at times, no exception.  The band delivered a stellar first set and finished with a somewhat lackluster second. The first set opened with Rocky Top, but not before Trey plucked out the Rocky theme song while the others assembled themselves.  Rocky Top is a countrified lamentation of the simple life in a small town in Tennessee, originally from the banjo-slinging, beard-wearing ...

Mike Gordon 3/5/11 The McDonald Theatre, Eugene, OR Words by thenaturalstoner Since this would be my third Mike Gordon show in a few months, you would think I would know what to expect heading into the venue. Problem is the last two Mike shows I saw were like Jekyll and Hyde. I had a blast at the Portland (Aladdin Theatre) show in November, while my expectations for the next night in Seattle fell a bit flat (the Crocodile Cafe sucked that night). ... Read More

Trey Anastasio Band 03/04/11 Music Box @ Fonda - Hollywood, CA Words/Photos by Reverend Justito The only thing more shocking then a rare appearance from Trey Anastasio on the West Coast is where Anastasio decided to play on the West Coast. With the ability to sell out Air Force Bases with his day job known as Phish, Anastasio booked the intimate Music Box for the Southern California stop on his Acoustic/Electric 2011 Winter Tour. Usually reserved for up and coming hipster acts, the 1300 seat ... Read More

Generally, I have found that shows will crescendo in energy level and song selection throughout the first set to set things up for a stellar second set.  I've really gotta hand it to these guys: Phish did not fall privy to such an archetype for their first show of the year.  The pleasure plateau sustained and remained, if you will. My Soul set the tone for a rockin' start to the evening, while Tube provided ... Read More
