Phish 3d Onsale!

Tickets to Phish 3D, the movie, go on sale today, and are expectedly go to rapidly. (Tickets to the preview screenings sold out in less than an hour in Boston, Burlington, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Raleigh/Durham, and Washington D.C, necessitating a move to larger theaters.) The "fully immersive music and visual experience, featuring state-of-the-art 3D technology", will be shown at special April 20th preview screenings in nine select U.S. cities. Phish 3d will then screen for one week only in dozens of cities nationwide, including Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, and Philadelphia.

jackl Cool...thanks for posting...nice to see some stuff from the Sunday acoustic set...did you see the 4/20 preview today or are you reposting info from someone else?

Frizz I fully enjoyed what it was for me. A reminiscent look back at the fun I had 6 months ago. That being said They left out Trey telling us to sit down so the whole Wilson speech is kinda irrelevant. I will bring a bunch of friends that have never seen Phish to the opening. And watch them intently to see if they get it.

Lemuria @Frizzle - He mentions, in the banter during Wilson (prior to the "splat, boom..." ;) having told the audience to sit down, "and now I'm standing".

I thought the entire thing was outstanding, but that the 3D was unnecessary and potentially a distraction. The cameras NEVER STOPPED MOVING. Pans, tilts, zooms, sways, wandering... It would have been nice to get at least a few long stable shots to see the Kuroda show. A- as a movie, B- for the 3D aspects.

But as for seeing Phish? A+++! Stellar! Mike's frets 50' high. Everyone's expressions. Fantastic setlist. Flawless (flawless!) performances. Awesome crowd. Great venue.

josh_vaughn I saw the movie on Friday in Livermore, CA. A few minor corrections to the setlist posted by mafujon:

AC/DC Bag, Undermind, Stealing Time from the Faulty Plan, Tweezer -> Maze, Mike’s Song, (interlude: Fans on Sunday morning with "Mountains in the Mist" as background music), Back On The Train@, Strange Design@, The Curtain With@, Sleep Again@, Train Song@, Wilson@, (interlude: "Suzy Greenburg" rehearsal), Loving Cup, Happy, Shine A Light, Soul Survivor, Suzy Greenberg, Tweezer Reprise.

Obviously no movie (even a 3D movie) can replicate the experience of a three-day Phish Festival. Having said that, I thought Phish 3D was a very good film and I really enjoyed the added depth. But the theater I went to wasn't even close to sold out. I saw Live in Brooklyn and both days of Coventry at nearby theatre in Dublin, CA and those showings were all sold out and people were dancing in the theatre and partying between sets like it was a real show. But those were live simulcasts whereas this was "just a movie."

There enough songs from Festival 8 that didn't make the cut that one could make a second movie. Party Time, Stash, Harry Hood, Rocks Off, Sweet Virginia, Torn and Frayed, Ventilator Blues -> I Just Wanna See His Face, 2001, Light, and Slave. Hopefully if they release this on DVD we'll get a bonus disc. Or they could even do a Clifford Ball-like box set of the entire festival.

MiguelSanchez I agree that the constantly moving video camera was a little bit distracting. the 3-d was kind of cool on fishman and page, but it really didn't do much for trey and page. it had something to do with page and trey having "multiple instruments" around while the other two just had their guitars- more depth perception type stuff to do. i was really hoping to see some cool stuff with the 3d and the light show, but that was lacking.

as for the music, i was not overly impressed with festival 8 as a whole, but they edited it into a very nice tight "show." i thought ghost and fluff head would be a given, but they were left off. i will applaud the old school "set list" though. also, the "show" had excellent flow and hardly a dull moment- sure, i took a leak during sleep again. the new songs really held their own too. the look of sheer fun on trey's face during undermind was great. seeing the acoustic curtain was nice. i did not think they picked the stone's songs well. granted, i'm not a stones fan, but i hated that take of "happy"...horrible. granted, this might be the best loving cup i've heard, with the horns and the vocalist. hey, it was still the best movie i've seen in the theater in 3 years!! bravo phish!!

MiguelSanchez i meant page and fish have "multiple instruments" around them, not trey, when discussing the 3d aspect of the movie.
