It’s been talked about for years now. Four years to be exact. However, this week, the prayers of legions of jam fans and ex-Deadheads were answered: Legendary jam pioneers Phish announced plans on their website to play three nights at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA. The shows, scheduled to take place March 6-8, would be the band's first since August 2004, after playing their final string of shows at a farewell festival in Coventry, VT.
But, actually, this is sorta routine for them. The band broke up before in 2000, amidst allegations that their operation had just become too big and complex. However, they quickly reformed in 2002 to the delight of fans and critics alike. But only two years later, the group announced their second breakup.
Nonetheless, I, personally, plan to make March a personal health month, dedicated to Phish and am curious when their third breakup will be.
