I know right? It's mostly AUDs so the quality can vary, but still it's pretty staggering, and surprising how clean the site is and how well it works. If I had MP3s of the '09 Roo show I'd shoot them to you but I was not there and never picked up the SBD.
I wasnt sure where to post this but here goes. I've been getting into phish a lot more lately and was wondering if anybody had the Roo 09 shows they'd be willing to PM me? It was an awesome time i'd like to relive. Thanks!
I have the FLAC for both shows. From a quick listen, the Friday show on Phish tracks is a better source than the one I have. The sunday I have may be the one that's upped to phish tracks. no noticable differences from a quick spot check.
if you use torrents there is another source for Friday up on etree, if not i'm snatching it now to see if it's better than my current one.
I have a ton of cloud storage through the university, so I can throw both up on there for download if people are interested.

wow. this is...comprehensive, to say the least.
If exhaustive documentation of everything a band has ever done is of interest to you, the Phish fan base as you covered.
Here is Phish.net's history of a single song, "Tweezer":
Also, because I've keyed in my shows seen into phish.net and zzyzx's stats, I know the following helpful facts:
-I've seen Phish on everyday of the week except Monday -I've seen Phish in every month of the year except February and May -I've seen Phish in 13 different states -I've seen Phish in every time zone in the continental United States -I've seen Phish in 22 different cities and at 22 different venues -I've seen all the Phish shows played at 8 venues (Watkins Glen International [6], Empire Polo Club [3], Newport State Airport [2], Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena, John Paul Jones Arena, Greensboro Coliseum, Amphitheater at the Wharf) -My top three most heard songs live are Character Zero [21], Chalk Dust Torture [20], and Run Like An Antelope [20] -My most commonly seen first set opener is AC/DC Bag [4] -My most commonly seen first set closer is Character Zero [9] -My most commonly seen second set opener is Rock and Roll [7] -My most commonly seen second set closer is Suzy Greenberg [7] -My most commonly seen third set opener is Meatstick [2] (that's a funny stat actually) -My most commonly seen third set closer is Slave to the Traffic Light [2] -My most commonly seen fourth set opener is a tie for Drive-In Jam and Storage Jam -My most commonly seen fourth set closer is a tie for Drive-In Jam and Sleeping Monkey -My most commonly seen encore is Tweezer Reprise [15] -I've seen 34 different Phish songs every time they have been played (100% club) -I've seen 11 different songs only played by Phish twice once (50% club) -The longest gap I've had of a song was "My Soul", which I first heard 6/23/00 and did not hear again until 1/11/11, a 23 show and eleven year gap. -The longest existing gap is a tie between "Jesus Just Left Chicago" and "Contact", which I heard on 6/23/00 and have not heard since
In other words, all extremely useful information I can have at my fingertips in seconds thanks to the passion of many geeky and wonderful Phish fans.

Thank you for the offer but I guess I'm good now. Phishtracks has really done me good. I've got so caught up listening to other Phish shows, I haven't done the Bonnaroo one yet. I'm really loving the 2000 Japan show right now. Back on the Train into Twist is so good, same with Cities>Gumbo
probably some truth to the above. opening summer at MSG would be hilarious. i'm a fan of the southern run as well.
festival at watkins has been rumored for several months. and then dicks because there is always dicks.
i can see myself catching ATL, and definitely OB if it happens. it pains me to miss my first phish festival since 3.0 but I don't think i can make it happen with work. but labor day at dicks might happen.

How much do phish fests usually cost? I have literally no idea lol

[/quote]Yeah Watkins is the perfect spot for them. I guess technically Indio is a better grounds but Phish sells better in the NE.
I think any future Phish fests will be at Watkins Glen. Seems like they have a great relationship with the city.[/quote]
Only downside is I won't be picking up someone from the airport who had a pre set up tent so I doubt I'll be able to set my tent up right next to that area again lol

Looks like it's just Alpharetta for me this year, so I am super stoked they are doing three nights there. Two nights in Atlanta/Alpharetta is pretty standard, but I don't think they've ever done three nights.
Alpharetta is such a great place for a show logistically. It's a newer venue, great sound pretty much anywhere, even the lawn (although pavs are still better than the lawn). It's in a suburb and its super easy drive around in. Show traffic going in to lot A can be pretty bad, but last year we parked in the shuttle lot and it was actually really nice, we'll probably just do that again. Finally hotels in Alpharetta are cheap and plentiful. All in all it's a low stress and low key weekend.
I know they will announce the Watkins Glen festival in the next couple of months, but it's not in the cards for me this year. August is getting busier and busier with work, plus i'm already spending money on a plane ticket for Movement, and I flew last year for Phish. Alpharetta is cheaper and easier. But this will be the first 3.0 fest i've missed so it's still a bummer.

I got shut out on the MPP lottery, which kinda surprised me. Was gonna be my first Phish show since Coventry. Will try for the general on sale but I’m not sure I’ll be near a computer. I managed to go 14 years without seeing them so obviously not too devestated, but figured I’d pull lawn no problem.

did you manage to pull any during public on sale?
i got my alpharetta tickets through lotto. lawn friday, pav saturday, lawn sunday. i'd rather not have two lawns but alpharetta is the best lawn out there, so I'm OK with it. plus lawn tickets are $35 cheaper which is nice.
just for kicks i tried to pull tickets to sunday during on sale today and it was a mess. i pulled pits twice but both times crashed on the payment screen. no biggie but it would have been nice to have pits for the last show.
EDIT: nevermind i see MPP goes on sale tomorrow. if you are for sure not going to be near a computer i'd be happy to try and pull for you. just let me know.

Thanks. I’ll have to go for both Byrne and Phish at the same time, but I should be fine.
SET 1: Chalk Dust Torture, The Moma Dance, Foam, Lawn Boy, Character Zero > Divided Sky, Mountains in the Mist, Waves > Sample in a Jar
SET 2: Rock and Roll > Wilson > Piper > Also Sprach Zarathustra > Wolfman's Brother -> Boogie On Reggae Woman, Wading in the Velvet Sea > Run Like an Antelope, Carolina
ENCORE: First Tube > You Enjoy Myself -> Proud Mary[1]
[1] a cappella.
Trey teased San-Ho-Zay in Chalk Dust. Instead of emerging from behind the piano with his own microphone for Lawn Boy, Page came front stage and used Trey’s microphone and stand. The move prompted a raucous response from the crowd. A portion of the Piper jam was based around the chords to Oye Como Va. Trey subsequently teased Oye Como Va, as well as Another One Bites the Dust, during YEM. Carolina was played for the first time since November 18, 1998 (144 shows). The YEM vocal jam included a Daniel Saw the Stone tease. Proud Mary was performed a cappella (including renderings of the musical breaks) to conclude the vocal jam. Only one other version of Proud Mary is known – a full-band version at the first ever Phish show on December 2, 1983 (1,362 shows).
anniversary of one of my few pre-3.0 shows.
hell of an encore. if you consider the acapella "Proud Mary" to be a legit version, it was the biggest song gap I'd had until "Fuck Your Face" 7/2/2010, which had not been played since April 29, 1987 (1,413 shows), and which I think still stands as the biggest bust out in Phish history.
No one has mentioned the watkins glen fest yet? pretty logistically difficult for me to pull off. Dick's is easier and cheaper, but not sure that will happen either.
may try to swing the inglewood shows, at least saturday. Anyone headed that way?

i'm not talking or thinking about it because i'm not going. it's the first 3.0 fest i'll miss. i don't get much FOMO with Phish these days, but i'll admit to having a touch of it with Curveball. Phish festivals are the best.

Anyone doing the Halloween run? I'm probably gonna do Friday and Saturday, solo at this point if someone wants to split a room.
Disappointed I can't make the actual Halloween show, but that's a hard sell to the wife. and if I'm being real I'm not at a point where taking three days off of work and family for Phish is realistic.
