LATEST PHISH NEWS FROM AROUND THE WEB LEADING UP TO SUMMER TOUR 2001 

Trey Anastasio, as many of you know, is a HUGE Philadelphia Flyers can, and was photographed and the Philly Spectrum (Sorry, the Wachovia Center -- from someone like me who remembers previous tour stops, among the Grateful Dead, Phish and others). Trey was at the rink last night for the Philadelphia Flyers' win and advance to the Stanley Cup Finals, where they will face a Chicago Blackhawks team that has not one a Stanley Cup since 1961 -- the longest drought of any NHL team (including the Hartford Wailers, which moved to Raleigh, N.C. and won the Stanley Cup relatively quickly in 2006 for such an historically abysmal franchise).

By the way, I apologize for not updating in a while. But, Summer Tour 2010 (for those of you who first saw the band in the Picture of Nectar days, can you even believe we are saying that?) is about to start, which means it's time to warm up The Wagger.

Check back often for links to the latest news about Phish, real-time setlists, original interviews and more.

MIKE OK?
If you noticed, on Jimmy Fallon Mike didn't look the best, and looked like he'd lost weight (as opposed to the weight Page gained), which prompted this thread at (and I can't believe I am linking to this site) PhantasyTour.com
