I will admit the one downside to Fish side is you are farthest from Page.

Penn42 Well, it seems to me first of all, from what I understand from lope g, if you're on fish side, then page side has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

benevolution pro - waaaaay more room to dance on fish side because everybody in the place is trying to cram onto page side simply because it rhymes with rage side.

The most desirable seats in a symphony hall is center left, because you can see the pianist's fingers. I'd say the same thing here: Page side, for Page but also for a better view of Trey's crazy fingers.

Land_o_Lizards coming from a biased(drummers) point of view, i say fish side balcony. overhead view of the master! plus, if its an indoor arena show you get CK's light canvas on the crowd!

I always prefer page side rage side! However the middle 10ft back is the best sound and also where you see krudas magic. The middle of the fish bowl! Fishman side there's more room and yiu see the chemestry with mike & fish intertwine to perfection also there's no ante greg there! All in all as long I'm inside I'm happy!

10ft? so like 4 people between you and the rail? negative sir. the best place to be is directly in front of the SB (or to the right/left). thats why the put the SB there (so they could hear the music quality).

But personally i like to wander and check out the sound for myself, especially at venues that are new to me.

OP -- take your "rage side" with you where ever your seats are man!!

spencur6 Page Side Rage Side, Fish Side Delish Side. Who cares man If you are seeing the show thats about all that matters. In my personal opinion I feel like both sides have a little magic to them. I've been on both. Also at UIC i was fish side front row of the second story balcony and yeah you really do get to watch the master at work from above.

I am very disappointed in you. Being on a side that rhymes is KEY to ones enjoyment of a Phish show. Come on now.

callmethesloth Permalink
callmethesloth I always go Page side because imho the mix is generally has more page on his side of the venue. Also, my crew always knows if we get split up, that were up front page side. lol its really ironic how in atlantic city night 3 this year we were all split up but at set break, a group of 8 of us all ran into each other and raged that 2nd set.

if you go fish side you get to endure 2.3 hours of mike nodding, if you go page side you get to see page rock out standing for .4 hours... your choice.
