[ATTENDED: December 29, 2019] Phish
I blew off two of the three Phish shows I had tickets to this summer. (I really should have gone to that Sunday show). Camden is such a hassle.
Somehow, I find getting to Madison Square Garden much less of a hassle–which makes literally no sense. These were my fourth and fifth times seeing them at MSG (compared to two in Camden). But this MSG trip involved driving into the city ($15 tunnel toll?) and then getting a garage. And, because I planned to go to an after party at Le Poisson Rouge with Marco Benevento, I decided to park in the village and subway it up. That’s actually a lot of hassle.
But it was worth it.
This was my eighth Phish show (I could be in double digits by now if I didn’t sell those Camden tickets).
The theory is that the Sunday night of the New Year’s Eve run is always great. And boy howdy was it. (more…)
