This is Doug (from The John Henry's) and his psychedelic rock project that he has been rehearsing for literally years, and their first gig will be at Ottawa's awesomest bar, Irene's on Saturday, March 30th. Tix are available online.
This has a high likelihood of being amazing, but no guarantees. You've been warned, both ways. Seriously though, 85% chance of it being amazing.

What a great player. He will be missed.

Bet the have this tour booked for Bluesfest:
-
Good to know, thank.

So you're saying the main/only drawback to the venue is the in-and-out parking situation? That sucks, but it won't be enough to keep me away. Bad sound, bad sightlines, stupid onsite rules or other things like that might be though.
-
Apparently the capacity will be 71,600. I understand the venue is considered to have a 100,000 capacity. Maybe they're keeping ticket sales a little lower than usual (for some reason) and it'll be a little roomier in there?
-
Why horrendous? What's your experience there? I have a couple of hotels booked but I'm not 100% convinced I'm going yet.

The collaboration last night was great too. Kevin with his bass player and drummer (two fine, fine musicians) plus a sax player, playing each others' songs.
'Twas great.
-
That was so good last night.

(If your gonna book it on booking.com and you aren't already signed up let me know. I'll give you a code that will give both of us $25 back after the stay.)
-
Hotel St. Andre is $150/night and 160m from the venue. Sounds like a party. Don't know about the separate beds though.
-
Tickets on sale today at noon. I think last time it sold out pretty much instantly. I think they even moved it to a different venue?
I wish they'd play Ottawa.
-
I don't see a Toronto date either.
Fake news.

Tix go onsale Friday. https://www1.ticketmaster.ca/event/31005645BA6635FB?lang=en-ca&brand=lolympia
They are also playing in Toronto.

I think Toronto lawns will be part of Live Nation's annual "$20 concerts at Ontario Place" thing. If so, I'll be down with that.

Got Dicks Fields through PTBM.
Originally due to charges on my card I thought I also had Mohegan Sun but I forgot about the crazy exchange rate.
Shut out for both Mohegan this morning, even with 4 people running codes. One person had 4 nice seats for night 1 but the sale didn't go through before resetting the Queue #.
Got 203 Row E for Toronto.
I think I picked a bad day for my physical, I'm hopped up on caffeine and TM nerves!
I got through for first night of Mohegan Sun immediately, like in the first second. Ended up with the last row of the upper level.

"Reign" was intentional.
I missed the point of your posts. I thought you were alluding to the fact that everyone was going to be freaking out because Phish was playing somewhere with legal weed. Now I reaiize that you were talking specifically about you freaking out because you'll be seeing Phish somewhere with legal weed.
My band.
(Oops...I meant "My bad".)

By the way, I'm making a joke to make a point. I don't scalp tickets, and a simple view of my Ticketmaster account would easily verify that I have been a "fan" for decades. Though obviously that doesn't play into it.
It's frustrating to know that if you got selected then you are literally good to go for any/every show of the tour. Which is to say, if you didn't get selected then you are shut out from any/every show on the tour.
-
I didn't get picked for Verified Fan. They probably scanned my account history and discovered that I scalp tickets all the time.

Phish + Canada + legal weed
Do the math edger 😉
Don't want to reign on your parade, but you do know that Phish has played dozens of concerts in places with legal weed, right? Fifteen in Colorado since legalization, another five at the Gorge, etcetera and so on...
Though admittedly this will be the first time they've done so on foreign soil (right?...it's officially illegal in The Netherlands...).
Bluesfest 2019

Chicago will be playing at Jazzfest, which is more interesting to me than the entirety of the Bluesfest lineup. Though I hope to see Yonatan Gat again. He's great. And Isbell of course.
And yeah, Rodrigo y Gabriela is pretty impressive, but I've just never been into flamenco.
Gosh, I hope Peter Cetera isn't with Chicago.
