Phish fills out summer tour schedule

Fans of Phish will have a few more chances to see the jam band this summer following the recently announced "Super Ball IX" festival in Upstate New York.

Though the band will take a month off following the July 1-3 festival, five more stops have just been confirmed for August, including the band's first ever performance at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and a headlining slot at San Francisco's Outside Lands fest.

Rounding out the schedule are two-night stands at the Gorge in Washington state and at Lake Tahoe in Nevada, and a three-night stand at UIC Pavilion in Chicago.

Ticket onsale information for the new shows can be found at the band's website.

As previously announced, Phish will be on the road this summer beginning May 27 at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, which was built on the site of the original Woodstock concert in Bethel, NY.


As with last year's Phish tour, each ticket will include a free MP3 download of audio from the entire show, which will be made available via the band's site.

Summer Tour 2nd Leg Announced

FINALLY! The 2nd half of the summer tour has been announced. Included in the dates is the much rumored headlining slot at San Francisco's Outside Lands Festival. Also of note is the lack of Red Rocks dates that many fans thought would be coming. This short second leg that wraps up in less than 2 weeks has me leaning to two thoughts here.
1) Phish is hitting the studio and will take the fall/winter to record
2.) Summer ticket sales have been so lackluster they don't want to risk a low yielding tour.

New Release: Live In Utica DVD

On October 20th, 2010, Phish played their first ever show in Utica, NY in the heart of the Mohawk Valley. Utica Memorial Auditorium is a hockey arena with a capacity of only about 5,500 and a design very similar to another round room and favorite Empire State Phish venue, Madison Square Garden. On May 17th, 2011, Phish will release "Live In Utica", a brand-new 2-DVD/2-CD Box Set from their October Utica show. It is available for pre-order now at Phish Dry Goods.

Utica was the smallest venue on Phish's 2010 Fall Tour and the atmosphere was charged with electricity. One clever fan even went so far as to craft a "Guyutica" sign that no doubt helped shape the night's events. "Live In Utica" presents three hours of Phish in an intimate venue with an inspired audience that returned the energy at every turn. A new camera mounted at the front-of-house position accentuated the light show in a way never before featured on a live, indoor Phish DVD.

"Live In Utica" features the complete October 20th, 2010 performance on 2-DVDs and 2-CDs. The nearly three hours of music in this DVD/CD set was recorded with 64 channels of digital multi-track and mixed and mastered, appearing on the DVDs in 5.1 Dolby surround and full-resolution, uncompressed PCM stereo. The video was shot with 8 cameras (16:9 widescreen), recorded and post-edited in High Definition.

If you order "Live In Utica"from Phish Dry Goods, you'll receive "Phish: I-90s", a free bonus CD compilation featuring archival material from as early as nineteen years before the "Live In Utica" DVD/CD release (compiled by Phish Archivist Kevin Shapiro). This collection of highlights follows the band along the I-90 New York Thruway as they honed their skills in drummer Jon Fishman's home state, recalling highlights from some of the region's many great Phish shows in the 90s. This bonus CD will be included in all Phish Dry Goods orders of "Live In Utica" while supplies last.

In addition, we're offering FREE SHIPPING at Phish Dry Goods on all orders over $70, which can be applied to the new "Live In Utica" DVD.
