Enjoy the Super Bowl. Win or lose, it appears that Belichick will be Page Side Rage Side come Summer Tour.
Thanks to JMB, MD for sending. His favorite Phish song is the 10/18/94 Reba in case you were curious.

You’ve probably been following at least an inkling or rumor through Twitter that Phish is basically good-to-go for a multi-night run in Atlantic City some time in June. The local press has been leaking all they can to get the word out and tons of folks have already booked hotel rooms. Hidden Track seemed to be the first to post on this potential event, and now with this article late last week in pressofatlanticcity.com, an announcement seems imminent.
Four multiday music festivals have been approved by City Council for Bader Field this year.
Press of Atlantic City columnist Pinky Kravitz reports in today’s Region section that headliners for the festivals will include Phish, Kenny Chesney and Metallica.
We’re always a little unsure of booking ourselves before the news itself is official, so we’ll update you here when you can start planning your summer tour. For now, consider it a rumor and pay attention to those “in the know” on Twitter. Or just follow @Phish and get the news when most people get it…

Hot Tours: Phish, Elton John, Bob Seger [Billboard.com]
Legendary jam band Phish tops Hot Tours with ticket sales totals reported from its traditional year ending run of concerts at the partially refurbished Madison Square Garden in New York City. The band played the arena to close out 2011 with sellout shows on each night from Dec. 28 through New Year’s Eve. The four performances grossed more than $4.3 million with a total of 75,707 tickets sold – an average of 18,927 per show. At the end of 2010, the band played three shows at the arena (Dec. 30, 2010-Jan. 1, 2011) with 55,710 tickets sold for the whole run, an average of 18,570 per show.

Even though I do now remember seeing quite a bit of chatter on this version of “Fluffhead” that ended the first set on the Phish New Year’s Eve show, it was one of the moments I skipped over when I rounded up 10 other rad moments from the NYE run this past Friday. You’ve got to respect the “band chosen” highlights from the show, though, and the band’s Vimeo channel continues to be a source of media joy for us Phish fans…

Everyone’s had a full week to digest the Phish New Year’s Eve run, arguably a “standard” Phish affair with no major surprises but an undeniably fun four-nights in NYC for a ton of lucky music fans. That’s a great way to kick off a new year no matter what, and we’re psyched to be kicking off our new year here at LMB with a proper Phish Friday post. Let’s round up some videos and hang out this afternoon…
I chose the first 10 that come to my mind from the run after digesting the entire run; some of this I watched real-time but I generally wasn’t fully engaged on the entire Couch Tour, so take my opinion and notes as a quick mental dump / recap about the four nights. Many others have tackled this run in hella detail. And I should note that we’re avoiding the “full” review of these shows given the fact that my crew didn’t want to touch it with a 10-foot pole. It was hard to digest in a few ways, but all of them agreed it was fun and well worth a review to focus on the higlights only. Let’s dig in… READ MORE

So, despite every awesome thing happening in San Francisco and Phish Couch Tour calling my name, I ended up disconnected a bit on New Year’s Eve night and ended up spending my time with friends in the redwoods in Northern California. Life is good.
In case you haven’t found your way over to Phish.net yet, here’s how the New Year’s Eve show went down for my friends in attendance for Phish NYE: READ MORE
