Taking It To The Next Level
Phish descended onto the famed Madison Square Garden last night for the first of three nights for their annual New Year’s Run. 12/30 has some large shoes to fill, especially when looking back at some classics like 12/30/97, 12/30/03, and 12/30/95 that have all solidified themselves in Phishtory as legendary shows.

Phish Announce Pay-Per-View MSG Video Streams
Looks like Couch Tour just got a massive upgrade, as Phish has just announced that they will offer pay-per-view video for their upcoming MSG run. Fan streams on UStream and others have been nice, but let’s be honest…they’re a far cry from a nice view.
The pay-per-view packages will be available via LivePhish.com, in conjunction with Nugs.net. You can purchase the three night...
