For a brief moment, after Phish announced they were playing at Jazz Fest in New Orleans, I actually considered attending.
It will be, of course, a special show for two reasons:
First, it will be a part of a festival and, if their stints at Bonnaroo and their own festivals are any indication, it is sure to be a great time.
Second, it is their first April show since the Vegas shows that brought the band to its nadir a decade ago, prompting them to call it quits. Goodness knows we need a good April show to push that bad memory out of our heads.
Personally, though, it would be huge for me. A one-off Phish show at a festival in a state to which I have never been...and it would be my 100th.
Certainly, they will tour this year and I will hit the three-digit mark, but to mark the 100th with such a unique show would be incredible.
I could not justify it to be within my budget, so I searched for marathons in the vicinity in order to make the expense more worthwhile. I even checked the whole state...and in the surrounding states...but to no avail. No marathons in the area that week.
Ah well. I will save myself a grand, I guess.
