Anyone who has tuned in KHOL’s Live Phish show the last two Monday nights or downloaded the Hampton recordings knows Phish 3.0 is tight, rocking and as ferocious as ever.

At last, the band has announced plans to come West this summer, with four nights at Red Rocks from July 30 to Aug. 2 and a two-night run at The Gorge on Aug. 7 and 8.

Alas, no Snow King this tour. Check back here for summer 2010!

    Got Dave and YMSB tix at the gorge. but those now seem meaningless. The race is on for Tixs. They sound better the they did on the 04 final east coast run.

    With no dates in Southern California or the Southwest, Red Rocks tickets are going to be almost as tough to get as Hampton tickets.

    This is Phish’s first appearance at Red Rocks since 1996, when they were banned after a bunch of ticketless fans misbehaved in the town of Morrison.

    Yes they will be. I have my request in along with every family memeber I could get to do it also. I hope I get some. If I end up with more then the 2 I need I will post here and get them to someone around here that needs them for face. Good luck to all.

    The Gorge is one of the best venues in the world. Do not miss these shows!! Make sure to bring a fan, it is going to be hot as hell!! Ask a Burning Man festival veteran for advise on how to beat the heat!! Redrocks tickets will be impossible, so just gear up for the Gorge and get ready to rage!!

    Got 2 for sat and sunday at the rocks but what a joke I had 11 people trying and only got 4 tickets. And the prices on Stubhub/ticketmaster are even more sad. I think I may sell these if I get Gorge Tix if anyone wants them. I dont want to be in a crowd full of Trustafarians.

    D if your selling your red rocks tix let me know, trustafarians or not, i want to be there. just one ticket for one night, thats all i wanted, and cant shell out 400 for a single ticket. shut out on 6 cards in the lottery and 4 people trying on ticketmaster failed me. thus no summer phish for me. help a fellow jackson ski bum. have cash and/or gear trades. rarust@smcm.edu

    Yeah…no go either with the Phish tix…Will have to make sure to get a tape of every show from this tour.

    Not-so-small consolation prize? Mule@the ghee.

    I was lucky. Although I was shut out via Phish Ticketing, a friend scored us 2 tickets to the Gorge.
    Phish needs to keep playing shows so the hype dies down, and next year tickets will be easy to get.
    By summer 2010, I hope we won’t have to travel far.

    forget red rocks tickets when your mom scored 2 two day passes on ticketmaster for face. who else is making the trip from jackson?

    another consolation= railroad earth at targhee bluegrass
