Re: Bader Field Shows

gamehendgehero asks:

Has there been any word on how Bader Field is going to play out? Is it just 3 normal shows, or will there be 3 sets on one (or more) of the days? 

The short answer is no. We’re still two months out and the band hasn’t detailed how the shows in Atlantic City at Bader Field will work. Presumably, if the band wants, both Saturday and Sunday could be three set shows beginning in the early afternoon and concluding in the evening. On the other hand, while there is a special website devoted to the three nights indicating many similarities to a festival, it doesn’t appear this will operate quite like a festival.

With Phish we have come to expect the unexpected, so I think there’s still a prime opportunity for the band to utilize the unique venue - located in a city that has proven a great host for spirited celebration of the band and community - for some impressive musical memories.

Re: The Bonnaroo Show

Just to clear up a small misconception going around: It was announced this week that Phish will play two sets at Bonnaroo this year. That was later clarified to mean the band will play one two-set show, presumably on June 10, rather than two one-set shows as they did in 2009.

Everyone cool? Exxxxxxxcellent …

(EDIT: 4/12/12 7 pm) Point of clarification from fellow contributor trappedintime:

Actually it was a one set late night show and a 2 set show on Sunday in 2009

We strive for nothing if not accuracy.

Well, that and the second jame in Mike’s ANYTIME YOU’RE READY, BOYS.
