I saw Phish...

Phish (1996)

I am pretty much open to any music ~ I have my favorites, I was a child of the 80’s after all ~ but really if you sit me down and have me listen to any music, I will listen, and often I will like it.

Phish was new to me before moving to Seattle and Portland….once in the Northwest however I heard the name often and their music was everywhere.

The music had a pretty big following and people who used to follow The Grateful Dead were now seeing Phish with the same loyalty.  When they were coming to Portland to the Portland Memorial Coliseum some of my friends were big fans and said, “let’s go!”
So, I saw Phish and it was OK!  I am not a loyal fan, haven’t really listened to them since but it was a good show.  As you can see from the tix I wasn’t really close to the band, but once everyone was high and in their groove ~ we moved up closer and enjoyed the music and the show.  Everyone was totally friendly and dancing and in the Phish Zone.  I am not sure I made it into the Zone that night but I kept the tix for the memory of a great night with wonderful friends ~
