Our good friend, Scott Goldberg, was on hand for Phish's tour opener in Worcester this past Thursday night and has been kind enough to share his view through the lens with us. The band returned in fine form opening with Buried Alive and never looked back. The second set featured glorious improv in Carini, Ghost, and Boogie On.

Weekly Wrap-Up with Tela [3.11]

PHISH DATES. That is all.

Okay fine, I guess it's about a week too late for that joke, might have been able to pull it off last week when Phish surprised us with a mid- Wednesday summer tour announcement. The massive phan hack of Phish.com that went down the day before is probably what really sparked the release, but I'm sure next time- be it a second leg or Labor Day run- they will secure the backend of the site so that kind of date testing can't go on. In any case, we're going to have to wait it out, and isn't that half the fun?

Maybe not so much, so without further ado (as if you haven't seen 'em already) Phish summer tour 2011 will kick off June 7th and 8th in Worcester, MA, hop down to Bonnaroo on the 10th, back up for a 3 night run at Atlantic City's Bader Field, and south again to Virginia for Father's Day weekend. Then they work their way through Cincinnati, Burgettstown, Cuyahoga Falls, ending with two nights in Nobelsville and two in East Troy, WI. To close the (hopefully first part of the) tour, New Yorkers get a special five nights, July 3rd and 4th at Jones Beach (though as a dry venue this was kind of an insensitive pick on Phish's part) and a glorious Friday to Sunday run at the beautiful Saratoga Performing Arts Center. As a displaced New Yorker with a full time job 5 hours away and a SPAC enthusiast, this is, to say the least, painful. However, many lucky heads will get to be part of many special shows up and down the east coast in the earlier parts of the summer, and hopefully the west coast will see some love too.

Umphrey's is finally getting to the west coast after what seems like an endless nationwide tour. They sold out the Filmore Friday night (3/9) and the Georgia theatre in a few weeks, but if you're in... basically anywhere in the United States, you can catch an Umphrey's show and probably should. UM Bowl in Chicago took longer to sell out than predicted, but ballots go out soon for the lucky fans who get to pick the sets. Umphrey's is truly a fan-oriented band, taking more and more steps to include the fans in band decision. For the upcoming sUMmer school festival, they've released an updated syllabus that includes 4 full sets, theory classes, business classes, open jams, private lessons, and more amazing opportunities for budding musicians and mega Umph fans alike.

To add icing to this already delicious cake, earlier this week the band announced another special show, called True Hollywood Story, An Intimate Acoustic Afternoon. Unplugged and on bar stools, the band plans to simplify fan favorites and give all the juicy background details of their favorites at the Hard Rock in West Hollywood this upcoming Friday. Capacity is very limited, so if you're in California, get your ticket soon for this amazingly special evening. Can't make it to the west coast? Fankix is streaming the show on Facebook for free in the weeks following.

Furthur is keeping things pretty cool right now, and after the announcement of Phil and Friends separate from Bob Weir, Bruce Hornsby, and Branford Marsalis at the All Good Music Festival, they had us nervous about a Furthur tour this summer. Only two days after Phish dropped their early summer plans, Furthur announced a short run in July and two dates in October without making any sort of fuss about it. The emphasis seems to be on their solo projects for the most part, even though their efforts have to be spread across everything. Team Weir also announced a free webcast of Bob performing with Trey's favorite indie group The National in support of Head Count, the youth voting activism group. Broadcast from TRI Studios on March 24, the event will also feature a round table discussion with John Perry Barlow between sets. Phil and Friends is winding down from a quick run, and gearing up for a good couple dates in the near future, so check out oh kee pah's Set Lists & Other Stuff to see what they played, and come back for another wrap up next week!

Weekly Wrap-Up with Tela [2.24]

noreply@blogger.com (oh kee pah) — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:34:00 +0000

So news has been slow as Trey does his symphony run, Phil and Bob open their new venues, and Umphrey's presses on with their world domination tour. Bits of news are dropping here and there, like the impressive line-ups coming from music festivals all over.

For the 7th year, Umphrey's McGee has been invited back to play at Bonnaroo, along side Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Beach Boys, and Phish (some phans might say unfortunately). I doubt if just one, probably poorly scheduled, UM set will bring the northern fans down there, but with no summer tour dates coming out of the Phish team, those phans are definitely getting antsy and considering pricey ticket for the one undoubtedly standard show.

With so many Grateful Dead projects going on right now, and a major run coming up in April, we could have guessed that Furthur tour this summer would be minimal at best, but with the All Good Festival Announcement that came out Tuesday, we know that the band is taking a break, and notably the first big one since they came together in 2009. Individually, however, it doesn't seem like neither of the Dead guys will be slowing down. Phil Lesh and Friends will be headlining All Good this year, with Bob Weir and Bruce Hornsby featuring special guest Brandford Marsalis, and old time tour buddies The Allman Brothers Band. Mickey Hart Band will also make an appearance at the festival, but don't expect any sort of reunion, tension between the alumni is still high and won't likely cease by July 19th.

Moving right on to weekly news, we saw the announcement of Junta coming out on vinyl earlier last week. In their second collaboration with national Record Store Day, Phish has decided to release 5,000 numbered copies of their first album, complete with 3 LPs full of Phish's first songs, originally self- recorded, produced, and distributed on tape in May 1989. Three years later it was remastered and re-released in a 2 cd set and has since achieved Gold status in sales. A random sampling of half of these vinyls will also come with a limited edition poster designed by Jim Pollack specifically for this release, so check recordstoreday.com to find a record store in your area that might have Junta on April 21, 2012.

Umphrey's is keeping us dancing in the wings with the slow trickle of UMbowl announcements. For the third time, the epic 4 set, fan dictated show will take place in Chicago, this year on April 27th, but it's never too soon to get the Umphkids psyched for the show. Following the initial announcement that came earlier this year, the band released an update that ticket and VIP information will be coming February 28 and 29m so get your credit cards ready if you're anywhere near Chitown- this is not a show to be missed. Honestly, if you can catch any of these shows on the spring tour going on right now, it's well worth the effort. This mega tour has been bringing them a lot of attention, and the two new covers they debuted last weekend are only adding fuel to the fire. Giving Columbus, OH, the first ever "Burnin' For You" Blue Oyster Cult cover and Detroit, MI, "Detroit Rock City" by KISS.

Phil and Friends just wrapped up an exquisite three night run in Colorado that has them all warmed up for the coming three week run at his own brand new restaurant and venue Terrapin Crossroads. The opening residency will feature his own soon Grahame Lesh and good friend Jackie Greene among others. Tickets went on sale Wednesday exclusively at terrapincrossroads.net but shorty after on sale, their new ticketing system malfunctioned and severely oversold tickets for March 17th. Via Facebook, the team kept everybody posted on what they re doing to resolve the issue and how they were compensating the people who bought tickets past the cutoff point. They decided to offer them passes to some special show, but the details are unclear and probably won't be public knowledge once they do tell those ticket holders. Phil even posted a special apology on the Facebook page, so check that out and keep up to date on everything going on at Terrapin Crossroads. -Carly Shields
