Phish roared back on the scene in a big way down in southeastern Virginia. The boys were well-rehearsed, focused yet relaxed, emotional and happy to be back giving their fans what they've come to expect from one of the greatest touring rock acts of all time. Phish was out to prove something to the world, and they left no one doubting how serious they are about returning to form and charting new territory. I only stayed for two shows of the run, but with almost eight hours of music each night, it was more like 3 shows.
Beautiful weather and a relatively hassle-free weekend of good ol' phun was made all the better by the reunion of many old phriends, who came in from all parts of the country. It's always about more than just the music, but this time the music exceeded all expectations. Time for the skeptics to jump back on board this summer and see a great band finally reaching its great potential once again.
