it would've been cool if our tickets came with 3D glasses, but I agree with mick, I don't even see how a 3D light show even makes sense. As far as I know the only 3D technology is from a screen and I don't see the construction of a giant 3D screen being feasible, or any cooler than what is already possible with just lights and Phish's ability
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.....
I'm just sayin'....
Crunchy for ya, brother!!
i never have agreed with this. Bob Dylans voice kicked ass, and it made the songs for me. same thing with neil young. without their unique voices i wouldnt feel as strongly about them as i do.
hearing bob dylan sing is so much better than listening to someone sing dylan (so long as we arent talking about jimi's watchtower)
I am watching my nephews this weekend and on the way home the 5 year old asked what music was playing & I told him Phish. He goes, "Oh yeah, I know that band. I saw them live. They were playing with the Doodlebops in Kansas City!" LMAO!!! How freaking funny is that?
Now that I have seen this, I feel certain that this is not happening with Phish at Roo. This type of thing would simply not work on the scale of Roo's main stage. What CK5 does for any Phish show would dwarf the effect that something like this would have on the relatively small screens available at Bonnaroo. The screens are simply not big enough for this to have an impact on a crowd of 50,000-70,000 people. Won't happen.
For the record, I also don't think they will play significantly longer than the three hour time slot they have on Friday night, AND I think they will completely blow our minds and leave noone feeling short changed with an epic amazing performance.
The only real question I have is-will they play the usual two set format (I'm guessing they will) or just one long epic set on Friday night. That in and of itself would be pretty unique in Phishtory even if it was only three hours.

So how come you guys just automatically assume that if they have 3D phish stuff on the screens that there will be no crazy lights? These two things aren't conflicting. They could EASILY have 3D stuff on the screens and a crazy light show. SEE: TOOL in 2007. I don't understand why you guys think the lights would just be forgotten about if the 3D rumor came true lol.
also as for this:

I disagree. They had a big impact at Tool in my opinion. I was entranced by the visuals on the screen and also the impact it would have would be for the people not super close. The whole field will be crowded. To say the screens won't have an impact on that many people negates the purpose of them having the screens in the first place. If they have no impact they might as well take them down lol.
I always wondered what he was saying. As to the 3d lightshow, if it comes true I am sure it will be done in a way that is awesome. I wouldn't worry that ck5 is not gonna be involved or anything.
Uffizzi is "offices" in Italian, Firenze is Florence, so this is clearly what they are saying.
^this is what i thought too. they wrote it in italy. and they were talking to some italian kid and he said "you enjoy myself?" meaning "do you like me?". and thats were the name came from. or so i hear.

My buddy was telling me that he's seen 3d laser shows. No screen involved... the lasers are projected in such a way as to look cool with 3D glasses. I can see it happening, especially with this year's ticket design.
