These were the 44th and 45th Phish shows that I have attended, and I had a great time. Saturday's show was a little bit better, but Sunday was fun, too. I wasn't expecting much, since Trey was very sloppy the last time I saw them, but it appears that he really is sober now. The weather was okay, Saturday was hot and humid (which is never good when one is surrounded by body odor and patchouli), Sunday had rain during the day, and cooler and windy conditions in the evening. I almost forgot how great Alpine Valley was, as I had not been there since Phish played there in 2004 on my birthday. These were the final two shows of leg one of the summer tour. The second leg kicks off in Colorado, at the greatest concert venue in the country, Red Rocks (Shoreline, The Gorge, and Deer Creek are in the team photo).

I believe that Chicago tickets are still available. I have tickets for the shows in bold, but I am still debating on whether or not to go to Red Rocks, or sell them at a premium on ebay. My wife really wants me to sell them, but this may be one of my last chances to go to Red Rocks, as we are going to start a family soon.
