So it looks like TAB is coming out West! Saw this on Facebook via Phish Tour
http://www.thefoxoakland.com/calendar.php

2 Dates in Oakland in April. More dates will obviously be announced in so cal... right?

Paging socal netters
@cookdog @bajaphish @caliphishead @blackeydsloth @tzevy (courtesy page @jimmymac03)

Edit-- Looks like they removed the dates-- I still have it up and took a screenshot for yaz:

Makes sense though, rumor was an 8-12 show Aprill tour. It should be his last chance to tour with TAB until at least next January because of a pile of Phish shows and making an album.

Looks like they took it down

could be nans....hope not!

Hmmmmmm
Very interesting.. Would love to see TAB out west again, especially locally here in SoCal.. I bet we get an announcement in the next day or two..

Any of you SoCal .netters planning on attending the two UM shows at the HOBlues Sunset on 3/22 and 3/23??
This guy sure is!! Psyched for a two night run, I've already got my tickets ;-)

What's up Portland, what's up!!! April 17 is my birthday!!! BOOMPOW!!!!!!!

So Cal fans are all like...

I think Josh is going. I'll send you his number if you don't mind.

Confirmed Here

Yeah, just saw that. Pretty lame if you ask me. 4 west coast dates??? I feel like I'm looking at ticket prices on Stubhub. Like I'm getting scammed... Trey could easily sell out any venue down here... why the hell

fucking a there has to be more dates than that

Not fair... they get all of the Dead related shows. TAB should tour the mid west more

You ain't shittin' kittens, @Jerrytheband

2 nights at the Fox, a 2800 seat theatre in Oakland.

Also 1 show in Oregon and 1 in Washington. Dates are up at Trey.com

the last thing we need is more tab dates

Who's "we," @benhatley? I'm as eager for Phish dates as anyone, but I'm bouncing like a new-born elf here in Portland! I could climb up on my roof and just about see the Crystal from here...

@funkycfunkydo, we should meet up at the show, I'll buy you a birthday beer.

yeah, i used to live in oregon, and i freaking love the crystal ballroom. it is a fantastic room to see a show. on the flip side, i find tab to be, well, pretty lame. this is coming from a guy that thought '01-'02 TAB was more interesting than '99-'00 phish.

Fair enough. No hard feelings, I'm just stoked. You know we don't get much Phish/side-project love up here that often.

Is it the 1st phish anything in OR since the '02 TAB show in Salem? I may be forgetting one or two...

Page also played the Aladdin Theater back maybe 6-7 years ago. Very fun (but very empty) show.

I'm happy for you west coast folks... also pumped because this probably means the beginning of phish tour won't conflict with exams.

@MiguelSanchez Mike played in Eugene @ McDonald on 3.5.11 (great show) and Portland @ Aladdin on 11.8.10 (missed this one) and Trey played Portland @ Roseland on 11.30.2005 (with an AMAZING 26-minute Simple Twist Up Dave!!!)

Mike also played the Aladdin back in '08 I think it was. So we've had a smattering of side projects come through. Now lets just hope the PNW is well-represented this summer/fall.

how do like the mcdonald? i moved from eugene before it was built. phish needs to get back the schnitzer. that plays is sweet.

McDonald is fun, much nicer than the Roseland. Umphrey's Mcgee is at McDonald on March 15, plus I'll be doing moe. and maybe Leftover Salmon too at Crystal...

I was stoked to meet Mike after that Aladdin show in '10.

A little off-topic here, but if Phish plays Portland, I hope it's outdoors at the Clark County Amphitheater. WA laws are more... Friendly. Regardless, a NW run that includes more venues than just the Gorge would be sweet.

I absolutely love the Gorge. And if that's where they're playing, I'll be there in a heartbeat. But I agree that something closer than 4 hours away would be nice too. That said, Clark County Amph is one of my least favorite venues of all time. I saw Tom Petty there when Trey opened (2007 maybe?). The acoustics are just terrible. There aren't a ton of other good outdoor selections that would fit them. But I'd love a multi-night run at the Les Schwab Amp in Bend but that's a pipe-dream.

Said it last year at this time, and I'll say it again - Phish playing at Les Schwab Amphitheater in Bend would be awesome.

Yeah, it can hold about 8,000 people which is on par with some of the smaller venues Phish has played in recent years like Lake Tahoe.

Such a good spring to live in Portland.

Can't wait to see TAB for the first time at the crystal ballroom! Love that place.

Agreed. I wouldnt doubt that @bajaphish already ha his hotel booked

WoW, Portland people. TAB, then MMW the next night at the
Roseland. lucky ducks!
