I remember Trey saying after the Hampton shows that the band really wants to give the people their moneys worth bc of the economy and wahtnot, because of the length of the sets. Fenway starts at 630. The curfew is 11 (Im pretty sure), which is the same at comcast center, which is pretty strict about their curfew. So you could see an extra hour their.
So, I think Phish will play till at least 4 on Friday night. I read above the only time they ever realy went all night was at Cypress. I think Phish really wants to throw down a legendary set at roo. going till the sun came up would be epic. If they did that IT, it would have been cool but not 'new'. Plus, I would think they went on before 11pm for their own fests.
But what it really is going to depend on, imo, is the vibe.....If the crowd is still rocking full force and the energy is still there I think they keep going at least till the sun comes up. Maybel play Here Comes the Sun and we go to bed.
I wonder if the magnitude of the crowd at Bonnaroo will get them off. Seems like Trey especially will be super pumped to play in front of 70K+ people again.

Well they come on at 7 play to 830...break..out at 9 play to 11 3.5 hrs very respectable show and certainly worth your money by any standards

Not to say that because they've already done it they would not do IT again but I'm not counting on it. First off I'm sure there will be plenty of [glow=red,2,300]ENERGY[/glow] there and indeed they will feed off the crowd but I doubt the crowd will carry the band till sunrise unless they'd already had that in mind of which as stated I do not think is the case. Secondly, why couldn't the legendary set consist of say a killer 2-3 hr set or 2 fat, meaty, juicy, funky, sweaty, jammy, mind-blowing sets and then an hour of fun with guests, or just have the guests spattered throughout? As stated before there were much better sets at Cypress than the New Years Eve one as legendary as it will always be it was mainly so for its length not necessarily for it depth throughout. Once again don't get me wrong there were plenty of mind blowing moments but as a whole got a bit booring and drawn out...there I said it Thirdly, as someone else stated somewhere in here they are without question 10 years older and wear and tear is there.
znmick---yeah bro 42 this July maybe a little slower in some respects but can still hang all night with the kids and if Phish plays until sunrise I will stand with them once again as I did 10 years ago...oh yeah and boogie quite a bit as well.
I don't care what you say about me, just spell my name right---P.T. Barnum "As I was walking up the stairs I met a man who wasn't there He wasn't there again today I wish to God he'd go away."

Phish is just going to play nonstop from the beginning of their Friday set until the end of their schedule set on Sunday. All those other sets on the main stage are actually just guest appearances with Phish. It's going to be a 48 hour phishathon!!
ALSO, I'm planning on interviewing people at Knoxville and bonnaroo about a variety of subjects: Phish lot scene, lot food, drug culture, how the scene has changed, peoples first experiences with Phish, etc...
If you want to be interviewed I'd love to set something up! Thanks guys.
the "people's first experience with phish" should be a good read (i will be having mine this sunday) as long as every interview doesn't start with "so i was rolling/dosed/high/tripping/drunk"
Great articles, and nice gig man.... I'm jealous!!!! Only thing I might take issue with at all is Phish's "vocal talents". I love Phish... I really do. Seen them more than most, less than some, but this is not a band built on quality vocal talent.... it's all about the composition, instrumentation, the show, the scene, CK5, and the mythology behind the band. Pretty much anything and everything *other* than vocals.... kind of like Bob Dylan - his voice was not exactly his strong suit.....

What is this 3D lightshow I keep hearing, and where is the source?
Actually it was something I heard from a guy last year at a fest. He said his printing company was doing the schedule books this year, and part of the contract was to be able to put in a set of punch out 3d glasses. He did call the Hampton reunion, and Phish 2 nights last September when it was not even at rumor status.
This seems a bit obvious to me, but isn't the light show ALREADY 3D? I mean, it's not like we are all going to watch a screening of Phish - Live in Vegas.....

QUIET! I WANT 3D PHISH. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO FEEL LIKE TREY IS FLOATING IN FRONT OF MY FACE AND I CAN REACH OUT AND TOUCH HIM.
yea the 3D wouldn't be anything TOO crazy anyway.....probably weird sh!t on the screens. Still........it's intriguing when you hear "Phish playing a 3D Night show at roo?". No matter what it is I want in on that
