The moment we have all been waiting for:
After an increasingly improving year of return in 2009, with Festival 8 at Coachella soon to come out in 3D in theaters, a blistering Fall Tour, and cementing their comeback with a 4 night NYE run in Miami which brought home some of the higher quality shows the Vermont Quartet has had to offer in quite a while.
Seldom have we seen a band so rejuvinated as this. Having opened the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony last night by playing classics from Genesis, with Trey Anastasio inducting the band into the Hall of Fame was a perfect preface for the day that Summer Tour would be announced.
We all saw the rumored dates. The rumblings of Telluride abounded, and were all but confirmed. Then came The Greek Theater at Berkley which during the Oysterhead show at the Greek in 2001, Les Claypool dubbed the venue his "favorite venue on the planet both to play and see shows at". After that was pretty much in the bag, rumors of July 4th in Atlanta were abounding. It all made sense, and fell into place. Summer Tour became a reality today.
For all those who were antsy, and waiting anxiously for validation that Phish was indeed going to embark upon a heavy and lengthy Summer Tour of satisfying proportions, here you go!
The time has come once again. Ain't it grand?
