I was there and it was great!! They weren't opening for anyone and played
quite long. I met a festival worker who was taping the concert with tiny
mikes behind his ears and covered with hair.. Taping was strictly
prohibited there. Damn me for not getting his address.

Anyway, I had never heard Phish before and was blown away. I asked for 
records here in Helsinki but no shops had even heard about the band.
I'm quite clueless, what should I get first?

wow! Was pleasently surprised to have accidentally stumbled onto this
Phish
conference, quite by chance. 

I am wondering if anybody else out there happened to have seen Phish at
the
Roskilde Music Festival in Denmark this summer.  It was a huge enormous
festi
at which 70,000 people watched over 100 bands for four days in the sun
with lots
of great danish beer.  The festival overall was fabulous, but the
highlight for
me was definitely Phish.  There were quite a few American bands there,
that
roughly fell into two categories: Well-Known in Europe (Nirvana, Faith No
More,
David Byrne) and Virtually Unknown in Europe (Phish and many others).
So...
all the concertgoers flocked to the well known American bands because
they had seen them on MTV (ugh). But the crowds were smaller at the more
unknown American bands, who usually played on one of the smaller stages.
SO... you had the strange situation at Phish's set of a crowd that was
half-
Americans and half Danes etc, even though there were very few Americans at
the festival. Great show, though! Fantastic.  I ran into Trey earlier in
the
festival and he was very glad and surprised that somebody had recognized
him!
I also met a handful of real genuine nutty Phish fans who were actually 
doing the entire Phish European tour. Dedication!

Just wanted to relate that and see if anyone else was there....
