Not So Early Bird passes are currently available through the festival’s website for $160. Yesterday, Summer Camp organizers announced the late night shows, including planned performances by Pretty Lights, Les Claypool and the Dead Kenny G’s.

Earlier this week Phish front man Trey Anastasio announced his first-ever orchestral tour, a four-show swing that is set to kick off on February 9 at the Atlanta Symphony Hall. Big Red isn’t a stranger to performing with symphonies and his two most recent orchestral gigs from 2009, May 21 with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and September 12 with the New York Philharmonic, have shown Trey’s willingness to dig deep into his solo and Phish repertoires for such events.

For this week’s B List I’ve prepared a list of ten songs I’d like to see Trey at one or many of the 2012 Winter Symphony Tour performances. Here’s what I came up with…

10. Dirt

Phish – Dirt

Considering how good of a job Anastasio and the symphonies did with If I Could at the 2009 gigs, a ballad is a fine fit for the orchestral setting. Dirt has plenty of room for the orchestras to work their magic behind Trey’s gentle vocals.

9. Limb By Limb

Phish – Limb By Limb

I’d like to see Trey and any of these orchestras tackle one of the many Phish songs written in 6/8 and I can just imagine what a symphony’s percussion and woodwinds section could do with this Anastasio/Herman/Marshall original.

8. It’s Ice

Phish – It’s Ice

The structure of It’s Ice makes it a perfect candidate for the symphony tour and I think for this one, I’d rather hear the strings or woodwinds interpret the lyrics rather than have Trey sing along. Hopefully the ensemble find a creative way to take advantage of the “jam.” The last time Trey toyed with the arrangement for It’s Ice, the 70VP “metal” version, he did so with rather impressive results.

Jake Clemons on Jungle Land w/ a Tribute Act

According to Backstreets, this is the same lineup (with the exception of Clemons) that backed Springsteen and the ’78 era E Street Band at the Asbury Park Carousel House in 2010. Both Mizelle and King were featured on the last few E Street Band tours, while Jake Clemons has sat in with the group in the past. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform at The Grammys on Sunday night. The Wrecking Ball Tour kicks off in earnest on March 18 after a one-off at the Apollo.

[FAKE LINEUP GRAPHIC]

Within hours the graphic went viral and spread like wildfire across Twitter, Facebook and even a few music blogs. Later that night Balsalm couldn’t contain his laughter and returned to Inforoo with the following enthusiastic post, “one of my friends posted a link on facebook to one of the music sites that picked this up. that was cool haha. its crazy how fast things can spread these days. this was fun.” Crazy indeed. This gent’s image was seen by hundreds of thousands of music fans within hours, many of which fell hook, line and sinker for it.

The week before the Bonnaroo announcement is notorious for fakeouts such as the one Balsalm initiated. Last year Paste fell so hard for a fake image that they actually claimed it was the real lineup. At least the websites that fell for Balsalm’s prank seemed to mention they didn’t know if it was real or not unlike the Paste debacle. Yet all around Facebook and Twitter people were posting the image by itself with little context such as “Bonnaroo Lineup [link]” which helped fuel the graphic’s supersonic trip around the ‘nets.

In these days of “be first or be last” many music fans, and even some websites, will post rumors or images such as Balsalm’s first and ask questions later, if even at all. That’s apparently the age we live in. It didn’t take much time to find the source of the purported lineup image as the folks on Inforoo.org spend all year discussing and debating each Bonnaroo lineup, so you had to figure they were discussing the graphic – sure enough that’s where it originated. Kudos to Balsalm as he even had a handful of Inforoo regulars fooled, but you’ve got to keep in mind this isn’t AC Entertainment and Superfly’s first rodeo. The Bonnaroo organizers know the blogosphere is thirsty for lineup details and keep that information very close to their vest. Yet Balsalm knew that there aren’t many people who keep tabs on all the discussions on Inforoo and was able to trick many knowledgeable fans by slipping in plenty of groups who are expected to make the trip to Manchester in June.

As always, nothing’s confirmed until it’s printed on the festival’s website. Keep your bullshit detectors on high alert, folks. We’ll be sure to let you know when the lineup is official.

The 2012 Summer Camp Music Festival is set to take place at Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, Illinois from May 25 – 27. As usual, moe. and Umphrey’s McGee will headline. Primus, Gov’t Mule and the Weir, Robinson, Greene Acoustic Trio are also set to perform along with dozens of other acts. You will need a separate ticket for late night shows and details about how to purchase these ducats will be announced soon. Not So Early Bird tickets for the festival itself are on sale now.

While two more announcements remain, here’s what we know thus far:

2/28 = John Scofield
2/29 = John Scofield
3/1 = Rahzel + ?uestlove
3/2 = Jennifer Hartswick
3/3 = Marco Benevento & Jennifer Hartswick
3/6 = Skerik, Zach Deputy & Allen Stone
3/7 = Skerik and Zach Deputy
3/8 = George Porter Jr., Billy Martin & ?uestlove

There’s still two performances left (3/9 & 3/10) for which the guests have yet to be revealed. Both single-day and 10-show passes are currently on sale through Brooklyn Bowl’s website.

Here’s the list of the acts that will play at Orion besides Metallica…

Arctic Monkeys • Avenged Sevenfold • Modest Mouse • The Gaslight Anthem • Cage The Elephant • Fucked Up • Best Coast • Hot Snakes • Titus Andronicus • Gary Clark Jr. • Lucero • Roky Erickson • The Black Angels • The Sword • A Place to Bury Strangers • Liturgy

2-day passes will be available for $125 through the band’s Met Club fan club, while tickets will cost $150 for the general public when they go on sale on February 11 at 10AM ET. Metallica has a long history of performing at festivals across the globe, but this is the first time they are involved with curating and running the festival themselves.

The Metallica event is one of four for which promoter Starr Hill Presents has obtained permits. Two of the four are scheduled to take place in September, while the other – set for June 15 – 17 – will feature Phish according to Press of Atlantic City columnist Pinky Kravitz (who previously pegged the dates as June 22 and 23 so don’t go booking any non-refundable arrangements).
