which one did you personally have the most fun at??

now that we are in the middle of winter with no tour announcement, really nothing solid to look forward to phish-wise, i figured we could all use a reminder of how great last year was.

i am going to go with 7.6.12 SPAC myself. i only made it out to 4 shows last year but this one was the most memorable. i was on my honeymoon. got to dance it up with my wife, and had some great neighbors. and i love when a first set rages so hard that you truly don't even care what they play second set. this was one of those nights for me.

Tough call. Saw AC n2, SPAC x3, and 12/29 and 12/31. SPAC n3 and NYE. Probably take the cake for most fun had

It would be really hard to pick between: 6.15, 6.16, 7.8, and 12.29. And I only made 6 shows this summer! That's a pretty good percentage to be in the mix for "most fun" show of the summer.

It's a tough call because we had a great time at the two Alpine shows. Met a bunch of great .netters, etc.

But the 8/22/12 KC show was a great adventure for @MrsDubya and I. A new (awesome) venue to see Phish at and a whole new outdoor Phish experience for us after seeing so many shows at Alpine over the years.

It was just she and I, we were pretty much anonymous down there. Made friends with our neighbors at the show and that was about it.

The show itself musically was pretty standard so the adventure side of going to see Phish puts this one over the top.

NYE

Tough call, but top to bottom, 7.7.2012. SPAC II. For 100% shit-eating grin fun.

Best venue vibe- Atlantic City, Bader Field

Most fun- 7/6/12

Biggest party- NYE

Damn this is tough, I'd say it would have to be between night 2 of AC, SPAC 3, or NYE. But then again, NYE is pretty much "next-level fun" (as quoted by my buddy Jeffrey on NYE) so it would be unfair to the other two.

Thus leaving it to AC 2 and SPAC 3, which when I think about it were 2 very differen't types of "fun". AC was balls to the wall, party vibe, Fear and Loathing like craziness that was just something else. And one of my first real "holy shit" moments was Lighteca, that was very memorable for me. I also (vaguely) remember the split seconds before Crosseyed this girl turned to me asking me to call second set opener and I look over at her with my dime size pupils and spit out "Crosseyed".

SPAC 3 was my last night of tour and while it had a very sad vibe to it knowing I had no Phish show to go to anymore, it was perhaps the most amazing night of my life. I've said before on here that my girlfriend and my buddy and his girlfriend all suprised me by showing up at the show but I didn't get to them until the second set. First YEM encore which I thought I wasn't going to get after seeing 14 Leg 1 shows, nuff said.

And after all that typing I still can't pick.

12/31/2012. I've never in my life been a part of such a big, amazing celebration of... Anything, really. It was truly magical.

DCU center night 1 that boggie is down right dirty.

portsmouth night 1

:::takes gf to her first show, trey plays guitar with lightsaber:::

Probably AC2. I was loading up a bowl of some deemsters at set break and this wookette walks up to me, obviously seeing what was going on. She grabbed my jeans and have me an over-the-pants HJ right there in the middle of Bader. After that I let her hit the pipe second then lite the mouthpiece a bunch of times just in case. She strolled like 20 steps up and sat next to what I assume was the chief wook, kissed him and layed back down.

It felt a little wrong but hey you only live once

went to alpine and dicks

probably gotta say dicks night 2,

Definitely the weakest night musically of the 3 listening back to them, but timing, the songs i wanted to hear, on top of my mental state(hehehe) that one was my favorite. But all of Dick's was a blast, not to say that alpine wasn't.

Spac2 or St Louis.

Randomly decided to drive to spac with a friend on saturday morning, didn't have a place to stay or tix, but soon found an awesome camp site and easily picked up lawns at the show. cloudy afternoon of campsite boozing -> beautiful summer evening on the lawn.

St. Louis- whole other story-- so much space on the floor, amazing crowd and people around us, and phish absolutely threw down that night.

I came to say exactly this - 7/7 was incredible for me, because of the company I was with, the energy, and a few other variables. I feel it every time I listen to it...puts me right back there. Love it!

I would say Dick's N3 (wasn't at N1). I was about 10 rows back Page-side for the first set, and from Ride Captain Ride on it was just pure energy. Set 2 I went and hung out in the stands towards the sides of the stage and just enjoyed one of the best sets I have ever seen/heard.

My wife & i attended Star Lake > Blossom, SPAC 1/2/&3, and the MSG shows and while I would say the NYE was the biggest Party ( With the gag, etc). My favorite show was Star Lake--Maybe it had something to do with my first YEM--The SPAC shows were all solid as well and I turned 50 on 7/6 so that was a great way to bring on the next 50. Also thought the whole New Years Run was just alot of fun being in the Big Apple and all.. Wow, we saw some great shows this year...Can't wait for more

Prob 8/31. Was psyched to be out in beautiful CO with a bunch of my friends on my birthday weekend, and phish crushed it.

Nye or spac n2. Both were unreal

7/6/12 op!

Agreed for sure. Most awesome crowd I have ever seen, with the highest energy I have ever seen.

It is really tough for me. I had a blast at all the NYE shows, but something about Summer shows is magical to me. I guess they both have different reasons for being great, because I do love indoor shows and MSG is the place to see one, but outdoor venues sometimes, just get me.

All the AC shows are definitely in contention, I had a awesome group of friends at all three shows, and between the vibe at that place and how great Phish played (AND SIERRA NEVADA FOAM) I had an absolute blast each night. SPAC n2 would be the second one in contention. Like AC, I had a blast at all three nights, but night 2 was just awesome. I was in the perfect place sobriety (or lack-thereof) wise, Phish played fantastic and everyone around me was just having so much fun and it was just spectacular. I think after two great shows at Jones Beach, the excitement of camping at Lee's and all the shenanigans that came along with it combined with the boys killing it on night one just culminated into a time of times on night 2. Oh and the fact that Phish absolutely killed it, made for probably my favorite show of the summer.

Nothing better than the boys coming out of the gates of a 3-night run and throwing down at the first show, and then the next night, when all you have been thinking and talking about with your friends is how you have no idea how they were going to top last night, and then they DO IT. Oh Phish how I love you.

Most fun was probably Blossom for me. The lot is just a complete free-for-all, met up with a friend I hadn't seen since All Good the year before, found a ton of great stuff on lot, ate some free moonshine fruit on the way in. Musically one of the more bland shows I'd end up seeing this summer but a great vibe nonetheless. Also I still think that Golden Age > Ghost is extremely underrated. Fun Tweezer antics too.

Musically its FYF Dick's N1 - no contest.

Most Fun, 12/31/12, without a doubt.

Best Musical Experience: 8/31/12.

Honorable mention to 6/7/12, 9/2/12 and 12/28/12.

Saw some excellent Phish this year!

Probably Woosta N1 just because of the pure excitement for me. It was a great show as well. 2nd place is the Bader run just because it was the furthest I traveled to see the PH so far and it was a wicked fun weekend

12/28/12 due to the spontaneous nature of our trip. We decided to go on the 27th and left Pittsburgh at 12:30 am on the 28th. We got into NYC at 7:30 and I dropped my friend off at the Garden as I went to look for a parking spot. At this point I had slept for 1.5 hours in a 24 hour period. I finally parked the car at 104th and Central Park West at 10:0am (big thanks to wefunkradio.com for the two and half hours of entertainment as I looked for a spot!) I met my friend down near the Garden and we waited in line until 4:00 when we got tickets from the box office. First row in the corner of 109, as close as one could be to Fishman!! We then headed to the car and began our steady intake of tincture with our water. We were in the first group of 10 to enter the venue when they opened the doors, and we went and met some great people in our section and had a blast!! Everyone in our section was very kind to one another, sharing what it was they were holding. Anyways, we took enough tincture, in combination with the lack of sleep that things got really interesting, and what a night it was. In addition it was my friends first show since Hampton 04 so it was a special night! Hell we had so much fun that we decided to book a 85 dollar hotel room in Jersey and do it all over the next night before heading hoe after the 29th!
