Well that was a damn shame. Nobody was guilty ofhyping these Chicago shows more than I and I'm not sure night onecould have ended any more oddly with the venue being evacuated in mass confusion and ultimately calling the show 2 songs into the second set. Coupled with the news that Pearl Jam waited out a...

 If this was a Phish show, it'd be forever known and praised as the "Take Me Out To The Ballgame Show" -- with Anastasio throwing out the first pitch at Wrigley that afternoon, he decided to weave teases of the ballpark staple throughout this long one-set show with Gordon and The Duo in the...

So much of The Barn's coverage over the last several months has been centered around this coming weekend. But I suppose it's worth mentioning that the first huge Chicago concert announcement that we covered for July 19th wasn't Phish at all - but was surrounded with a similar mania.
