joonze Permalink
joonze unfair... my fist show was 94... my second was 2009

if i exclude the first then its 3.5 show per yr
if included...2012-1994 = 18 / 15 or really 15/ 18 = 1.2 per yr....sucks but its reality....

i think my GD ratio is like 6.5 per yr...

No need to kick dirt. As I, you do what you can when you can. I feel lucky to have seen what I have especially within the past 3 years.

Completely get not including hiatus years but if you include years you did not see shows then it sort of defeats the purpose.

Jd1975 Permalink
Have seen 75 shows since 94 think it comes out to about 4 shows a year. Most shows I saw in a year were 20 in 2011. While i'm perty pissed at myself that i didn't see any shows in 95 an 96 i'm glad i got back on board in 97 and am still able to see phish having fun on stage and playing at a high level. Some times I think we get so spoiled from Phish that we don't realize how different it could have turned out if Trey never got clean. So even though they mite not do some things the way they used to I'm thankful every time i get to see them.

sirhotpants Permalink
sirhotpants 67 since '93 - 4.46 per touring year.

I got off the train, so to speak, in '99, after my high school crew dissipated. And I wasn't really into 2.0, so no regrets there.

Dan615 Permalink
Dan615 29 shows and first show was 09. 7.25/year. Will be adding 5, hopefully 6, shows on leg 2 so that should bump me up to 8.75/year. I guess 3.0 n00bs like myself have to catch up somehow.

mathemagician First show was Dec. '99 and last show was last Sunday for a total of 40. 13 were this year, I'm a late bloomer. That's roughly 3.1/yr counting hiatus years. Adjusting for the hiatus it's 5.7 so we'll call it 6/yr.

189 shows since 1993 (minus 7 years for the breaks between 2000-2002 and 2004-2009) = 15.75 shows a year......without subtracting for the hiatus/break-up I average a shade under 10 shows a year (I've run my own business since getting out of college in 2002 so I have a lot of flex in my schedule).....thanks to my sis for breaking me in when in was a kid, thanks to my highschool and college professors that let me get away with academic MURDER, thanks to Mom and Pops for being understanding of my...addiction.....and more importantly thanks to the boys for playing the brand of music they do. All aboard for Leg 2 and the chase for 300!

dude really...there was 2.0 magic that would of been worth your time; regardless 100's a 100.

mathemagician @johnnyd

Yes but you need to think about significant digits when rounding or approximating. Also, can you have a fraction of a show? That's more qualitative than quantitative, unless of course you miss a chunk of it because you're late or if you leave early.

I actually cut about a foot and a half off last December.

TannisRoot Permalink
TannisRoot 1996-2012 = 6.8 shows per year

But I feel like Im hitting a 3 year wall. After 96,97,98 I slowed down tremendously. And now after doing a bunch of shows in 09,10,11 Im slowing down again. Hitting one night of a three night run doesnt make my skin crawl like it used to. Only gonna have 2 shows this year unless they do Halloween or NYE.
