145 Phish Shows


Homer jams with Phish

I've gotten this question all the time. How many shows have you seen? It's up for debate because I've seen more shows than I can confirm. There were at least 3 shows I saw when Phish played on the H.O.R.D.E tour in the early 1990s, but I don't know where!

Alea suggested that I log into Phantasy Phish to figure out how many shows I attended through their show counter. I was very impressed by the speed of the project. It took less than an hour to cross reference my old list. Yeah, and it's a monster list. I know how many shows I've seen, but when you see it in print, or on the web... it's scary! Wow, 40 shows in 1999?

I never would have visited half these cities if Phish hadn't played there. I was inspired by their music to the point that I'd willingly get off my ass and either fly or drive (or both) to obscure places like Bonner Springs, KS or Pelham, AL. I've seen Phish in New York state a record 28 times. Next up were Gerogia (12), California (11), and Florida (11). As far as cities go, I've seen Phish in my hometown New York City 13 times (including the two Brooklyn shows). Atlanta, where I went to college was second, with 10 shows. George, WA... home of The Gorge was the coolest outdoor venue, was third with 8 and Deer Creek was 7. Madison Square Garden was the venue I saw the most Phish shows (10) and Grateful Dead shows as well. It might be my favoirite indoor venue to see the boys.

So here it is, My Phish Shows... in order of appearance.
