Sometimes the HD streams are a little laggy. Simply pause it for a bit to let it buffer and you should be ok.
Something I found on Digg. Male to Female ratio from last weekend. Seems like a sausagefest... :lol:
Phish to Swim from Wantagh to Hempstead?
Talks are in the works between town board directors and local authorities in Nassau County regarding a change of venue for the upcoming Long Island reunion of Vermont rock-band, Phish. Officials related to the situation tell Newsday that the scheduled concerts slated for June 4th and 5th at the Nikon Jones Beach Theatre are a "concern" for resident officials and feel by moving the concerts across counties to the nearby Nassau Coliseum would be a precautionary act.
Phish reunited this past weekend in Hampton Roads, VA, which drew roughly 75,000 loyal fans to the town\'s 13,000 seat arena. Known for their improv-rock and long four hour concerts, Phish fans usually reflect a party-type atmosphere. Reports from Hampton Roads indicate while the incident list from inside the actual arena was almost at zero, the outside perimeters were met with drug dealings, illegal vending, destroyed hotel properties and ticketless fans.
Officials worry that with the "open-air" setup at Jones Beach, many fans will show up to the show without a ticket in hand, knowing the music can be heard well and loud from the surrounding beach and parking lot areas. It is not unusual at a Phish concert to find many fans choosing to dance in the concourse of a venue rather than in view of the stage itself. Jones Beach also allows boats to "pull-up" to a perimeter marked in the water which leads to the venue, where the on-board may park and listen to the show from there. Many expect these issues could be a concern should the two sold-out shows draw more than capacity and force people to consider other options to hear the band kick-off there first Summer Tour since 2004.
Should agreements be met, band management tells Newsday that all current ticket holders will be able to use their current tickets for the re-located shows and that an additional 5,000 tickets per night will be sold at the venue box office on a first come, first serve basis due to the increased venue size. The concert would be a General Admission event. Phish has not played at the Jones Beach Theatre since July of 1995 when they were later considered to have outgrown the venue\'s small capacity size. Phish has played at the Nassau Coliseum six times since April of 1998.
Where\'d you find this? I couldn\'t find it on Newsday. Just curious.
yeah, this is clearly not true. nick read it on pt, so that pretty much falsifies it right there.
All posts can\'t be perfect in a thread that is over 7 months old and 1,400 posts long.
In other news...
Rumor is that 2nd leg summer tour dates are coming today or tomorrow

I wonder how many girlfriends were dragged there by their boyfriends who didn\'t want to be there.
Hope to see that second leg announced today.

It\'s the floor of GA show. Pushing and shoving rules the day. Women and guys too old to put up with that
**** (me) are typically found on the perimeter. I\'ve always found a pretty even ratio at Phish, especially compared to other bands I like.
exceptional job with the HD uploads, Mr. DP.
8/5 Shoreline Ampitheatre is already up on Livenation.

It sounds like they are coming. Hope to see the announcement this afternoon.
Like to plan a west coast run and visit some long forgotten friends out there.
I would love it if the rumors about Phenway Park turned out to be true. not holding my breath though.
