Thank you PHISH – Look forward to INDIO – MSG
what is the SPAC Grind?
The song Grind includes a line about how many days each band member has been alive.
22,500 – Faces melted at the Gorge!
Thanks for the linkage Scotty.
Re: shortest song… Hello My Baby from Burgettstown is only :27. Not sure if that even constitutes a song at that length but anyway.
Take care all,
TL
Good call, Todd. Clarified above.
I love Phish. That is all…
approx. 200 ticketless phans outside the back gates of Merrtiweather Post having more fun dancing out than their phan counterparts with tickets inside the venue.
is it wrong to say im ready for the tour to be over and looking forward to thinking about some new bands
1.9 – miles from my hotel one way I walked to hear a Llama.
Weak list. Could have thought out some cooler/more positive stats than that.
Best stat in there is that 60 songs were played only once. Hartford and SPAC were SICK. take out the Harpua at SPAC and Hartford was hands down the best 3.0 show to date.
8 – versions of Time Turns Elastic that sent people running for the pissers
TO Kyle:
SPAC.. Saratoga Performing Arts Center
Grind, Grind, Grind, Grind, Grind, Grind, Grind
I can bend in sixty-eight ways
I have lived for twelve thousand days
Twenty-eight teeth inside my head
Grind three types of things and I’m sad that they’re dead
Grind, Grind, Grind, Grind, Grind, Grind, Grind
would like to know ticket sales $$$$ on the list.
not a stat, but your list of numbers might have a place for this item:
8, 9, 15, 19 – Red Sox jersey numbers as worn by Mike, Fish, Page, and Trey during the tour-opening Star Spangled Banner from the pitcher’s mound at Fenway
