Phish @ Jones Beach

I lost count as to how many Phish shows I've seen, but I figure its gotta be 30+, possibly more. I've been doing this for about 11 years now, and... NO It doesn't get old!

There is something about this band and the experience of going to their shows that has locked me in. Its something that has grown with me. It certainly has changed for me as I've gotten older - you'll find me tailgating at the car these days instead of bouncing around shakedown.

Phish played Jones Beach August 17 &18 2010. Such a great venue, so close to home. JB shows really hit me hard because I grew up on Long Island - I guess the home town shows do it to all Phish fans.

Night one we had crap seats, however the sets were fantastic. I have to say though - the sound quality on the upper deck totally blows.
BUT... night 2 brought so much joy it was unbelievable! Our tickets were 5th row - although we hung at the fence for most of the first set (I once was closer at this tiny place in Vegas). My ears are still ringing, and I'm pretty sure I caught a smile from each of the boys last night!

An incredible show with some of the people I love the most! Team Pestilence + honorary member cousin Jill (props on the photos).
