I must say I am slightly disappointed in this list of dates. Great for the NE, but the rest of the country does still exist, whether Phish wants to admit it or not. I live in NC and I'm goin all the way to the Gorge because all the Southern dates for summer tour(excluding MPP - Maryland is NOT the South) were on weekdays, when most of us adult Phish fans can't just leave the state for a concert (I decided it was worth missing a week to make the pilgrimage to Mecca) The number of shows is not a problem. I get that they are getting older and playing 50 shows a year is a good bit more difficult than it used to be, but having all 12 shows in such close quarters just seems like a big middle finger to the rest of the country. I'm happy they are playing, just wish they could be a little more understanding of the finances of their fans who live in places not named NJ or NY. I'm sure I sound like a whiney little bitch, it just sucks that if I want to see my favorite band this year, I have to drive at least 250 miles to do so...and this seems to be the most appropriate place to vent my frustrations. Feel free to make me feel less butt hurt about this if you can.
