What better way to celebrate 4/20 than catching Phish 3D at one of the screenings across the country? Ever since DaveO filled us in on the plans to shoot Phish's Festival 8 extravaganza in 3D, we've been gearing up for tonight. For a taste of what you can expect, here's a minute-long clip of Suzy Greenberg from Phish 3D featuring Sharon Jones...

Phi8h: Halloween Phish in the Desert from Tim Saccardo on Vimeo . I've had a bit more free time lately (more on that soon) and I've been devoting tons of that time to sifting through the media that I've collected over the past year but haven't had a chance to fully digest. Rather embarrassingly, I still haven't processed my collection from Phish Festival 8 and I'll likely be posting a bunch of nuggets before the start of the summer tour . The video shown above was one of [...]

Coachella Arts & Music Festival is fast-approaching and it's going to be a really solid year for the festival, with Phish to thank for their Festival 8 management and approach. It turns out the promoters were learning quite a bit last Halloween and they're bringing some of that to this year's Coachella... From signonsandiego.com... Conspicuously absent [from Coachella's lineup] is a single jam band (to use the broad stylistic tag given to improvisation-happy rock groups that follow the [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News On Monday night, Phish kicked off the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony by performing a pair of Genesis tunes as they welcomed that band into the institution. Phish are no strangers to playing the part of the tribute band -- they performed the Rolling Stones ' 'Exile On Main Street' in its entirety at a Halloween show last fall. But, this summer, Phish will return to doing what they do best: touring and jamming their faces off. [...]

Phish at the Movies in 3D!!!! : This is going to be sweet! Not too keen on the fact that they likened Phish using this to Hannah Montanta but what can you do. Since I didn't personally make it to Ocho, this'll be a great way to see some footage of the event. Click the title of this post for the story.

Remember that Phish 3D film we mentioned back in No. '09 (during Festival 8 )?

Photographer Michael Marantz put together an amazing photo compilation from Phish Festival 8 and it's been making the rounds between me and my crew. Even though you may have seen it already, I strongly encourage you to watch it again this morning. It's a great way to start the week. From the artist: This is a photo animation I made of the Phish Festival 8 over October 30th - November 1st. This work features music from the festival. This whole video is [...]

Now that we've had a few weeks to look at all of the photos from Phish's Festival 8, we've put together our list of the best costumes at the event. It was a difficult decision as there were dozens of amazing ideas from multiple Festival 8 basketball teams to various Angry Mobs of Joggers to Pocahontas , but we whittled down the contenders to a list of ten. 10. American Gladiators [Photo by Melany] Thank god [...]

Oh hai. I still haven't even fully digested all that I took in at Phish Festival 8, and I've had a busy week with work and my band. Tomorrow, I plan on finally brain-dumping all of the goodness in my memories to this here blog and I fully intend to do a review proper justice. In the meantime, may I present to you...The Burble * . 20091030 Harry Hood jam from patrick nelson on Vimeo . [...]

On Day 3 of Phish Festival 8 , Phish played their first full-length acoustic set at, in their words, "the crack of noon." The early risers and hardcore fans who showed up when the fields opened enjoyed free coffee and doughnuts shaped like 8s. When Trey Anastasio walked out on stage, he asked the fans if they had gotten the doughnuts, which earned enthusiastic cheers in response. As the band set up—notably in reverse of their normal positions—there were numerous shouts from the crowd, thanking them for the night before and for giving them a whole weekend of music. [...]

Now that concertgoers who attended Phish's Festival 8 in Indio this past weekend are home, a slew of amazing clips have been uploaded to the major video sites. Head over to YEMblog for a complete accounting of the better Festival 8 videos, but we just had to share a few more clips of the sign language interpreter we told you about on Sunday , a "Team Hood" vid and a few epic playlists of the Exile On Main Street set and the Acoustic set.

99 Albums in 4:20 - Eclectic Method Played as a live intro to Phish's Exile On Main St. Set 10.31.09 - Empire Polo Club, Indio, CA One of the coolest parts of the Ocho was the cover set of The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street. However, this intro video that came on 4:20 before the set started got everyone dancing and going nuts as Phish took the stage, putting an end to the game that so many of us have enjoyed the past month! Give it a watch, it sums up some of the best artists and [...]

Halloween at Phish Festival 8 was truly a feast for the eyes. Although the desert heat was sweltering, fans enthusiastically touted costumes of all types, from robots to chickens to foam creatures to walking facebook pages. Phish took the stage for their first set at 3pm and rocked it out, despite the oppressive sun beating down on the stage. The set was packed full of fan favorites like "Divided Sky," "Squirming Coil" and "Run Like an Antelope." After much anticipation, and outrageous rumors - such as David Bowie joining them on stage - the [...]

It looks like the rumors of a 3D theatrical release for Phish's Festival 8 are true. Check out page 2 in the Desert Sun's coverage : Phish is getting a wide theatrical release next year of the 3D movie they shot at Festival 8. Their advertising and publicity budget will be tiny compared to other nationally distributed films because they have such a direct relationship with their fans online. No further details on when and where it will be released, but this is very cool. We've heard [...]

I'm home from Festival 8 and I'm just now starting to digest and consume everything that went down from the fan's perspective. The festival was amazing in some seriously impressive ways, and I'll be working on a full review of everything I saw today when I start my new full-time job. But first, I figured I'd give a nod to the wondrous event that was Halloween with Exile on Main Street by posting a great full video of "Loving Cup," the song from the album that Phish fans knew the best (myself included).

40,000 fans would only camp out in the desert for one band: We all know who.

I have a friend who I consider a big Phish fan who paid little to no attention to all the Phish Festival 8 coverage this weekend. So I was thinking, maybe he's not the only one? If there are any Phish fans out there who didn't check out the Festival 8 coverage or live audio streams, then you might want to check out Mr. Miner's No Spoliers downloads series . He's offering downloads to complete sets from Indio this past weekend, without any tracking or setlist info, so you can hear the show as it [...]
