Definitely the best fact I learned. I was scanning down the list looking for songs that were more than just 1/1 or 1/2 and the odd number jumped off the page. I am very lucky. I LOVE love LOVE Vultures!
I could. 
Well if you can find me tickets I’d consider it, but seeing that they are very hard to come by, me thinks I’ll be sitting these out. No worries.
Officially retired. Helluva run. 8.12.96 - 11.02.13
I don’t get this either. What…did you retire from enjoying music? I can see retiring from touring but if the band comes anywhere remotely close, you know you’ll be going.
My list is Pretty lightweight here. I’ve been a fan for a while but don’t travel like most. I’m absolutely shocked that I didn’t get more Samples. I swear it’s been played at every show I’ve been to. I even heard Phil and Friends cover it once. Also neat to have so many Mike’s in there because I had quite a drought of it in my first few shows.
I did also notice a minor flaw as it lists me as not getting Esther but it was played at the 7/20/99 show. Still waiting to get that Scent of a Mule, My Friend My Friend and Colonel Forbin’s.

My life has taken a dramatic turn and I’m now entirely focused on my family and kids. Disposable income is an all-time low, so I’m retiring from seeing live phish, not from enjoying music. It’ll just be on a much smaller scale. Chances are good that I’m going cold turkey. It’s been real, but it’s time to go. Now for some of my stats:
344 different songs have been played (41% of songs Phish have played).

^^^And how. Glad I took the time to figure it out so I can count from there.
4 in a row still my longest, a couple of times.
Only 4 shows since Coventry which is why I still haven’t hit 50.
My most impressive feat was seeing them in all four corners of the US in 2003 (First 6 shows of summer tour included San Diego and the Gorge, plus IT and Miami NYE)

When I first got into Phish, they had broken up and the word was they were never getting back together again, but yet I’ve seen 24 shows. Pretty grateful. Pretty happy. Pretty damn excited for next weekend.

^ Going through this entire thread, you and I only have one show in common: 06.22.2010.
I am currently sitting at 33, but after next Sunday I will be at 36. Not bad for someone who only saw them once before the break-up.
The most I have seen in a row is 6. (8.2.2015 - 8.9.2015) It is unlikely that I will ever see more than 6 consecutive shows.
Now at 57, still rocking the 4 in a row. Hampton gave me my first Llama.

Went thru my ticket stubs and found two from shows I don’t remember attending … and looking back I guess I must have been at 'em. 11/29/98 & 12/30/16. So I’m @
56) Times Union Ctr Albany NY.
I’m at 15 now. 3 Rosemont shows this weekend will put me at 18. I think 3 in a row is the most I’ve done. Last summer at Northerly, and then this run. I was considering the Vegas shows, but didn’t want to use my PTO on it.
I’m at 64 currently and 68 at the end of the year. Honestly kind of proud of myself. I got into Phish in 2008 and had just gotten super into them before the announced the reunion. At the time, I’d assumed I’d never get to see them.
“Never thought I could make it this far”
I’ve been to 54 shows now. I’ve seen 5 shows consecutively once (Gorge > BGCA in 2016) and 4 consecutive shows three times (Vegas 2016 and 2018 and Bonnaroo > AC in 2012). In 2013 I saw what would have been 5 consecutive shows were it not for that rescheduled Toronto show.
