R.I.P. Deer Creek?

So i am doin it right! ;D

that simple shirt i had on, I miss it. I WANT IT BACK!!! WHERE IS IT!!!

^ That thing got me through 3 craps at Coventry!

Aww…poor Deer Creek. It’s amazing how with all the touring I did of the midwest states, I never saw a show there. Oh well…another one bites the dust.

man was I toasted when I wrote all that last night!

that volcano kicked my arse

I have another sweet Deer Creek memory I’m glad I was a part of…

two words for ya…

MOBY DICK!

Moby?

Eminem doesn’t like him.

damn ive nevre been there but it looks awesome and phish always brought the heat

It seems like every good thing that dies in my lifetime goes, & then all the stuff associated with it goes. Or the good things start falling first. Phish is no exception. The indescribable “it” about Phish shrunk & shrunk after the music ended on 01/01/2000. The abstinence from bad drugs ended in 2000. The Ross compressor was kicked to the curb in 2000. Phish ended in 2004. Trey’s clean record ended in 2005. Various other parts of Phish are vanishing, & Deer Creek is huge. Sad.

3 things changed my life forever in the 90’s.

  1. Grateful Dead
  2. Phish
  3. Deercreek

I always thought I’d go back and see a show there again, but I guess seeing my last Deer Creek show on my birthday watching Phish play is good enough for me.

nothing will ever beat Deer Creek circa 1996 in my life.

fuck it, im going on ICP tour

hops on tour with Brett

Tonight’s the night…we bury the dead!!

This is not happening.

Last night, FOX 59 in Indy reported that Verizon extended their contract and will have a full 2008 concert lineup.

Well…sort of.

From today’s Indianapolis Star (online):

Verizon Wireless Music Center in Noblesville no longer is on the sale block.

Entertainment company Live Nation, which owns the amphitheater and 203 prime acres surrounding it, has pulled the site off the market without saying why.
“I can confirm that we have taken the property off the market,” said Live Nation spokesman John Vlautin on Wednesday.

The state’s prime outdoor music venue had been for sale since December.
It is not known whether Los Angeles-based Live Nation is just changing real estate brokers and whether it intends to relist the property.
Jenna Rowe, a spokeswoman for CB Richard Ellis in Indianapolis, the broker for the site, said she couldn’t comment.

The 18-year-old music center is located in a hot area for commercial development in fast-growing Hamilton County near Exit 10 off I-69, where several large-scale commercial projects worth more than $500 million are under way.

When it became known late last year that the amphitheater site was for sale, thousands of music fans and others signed an online petition to try to persuade Live Nation not to sell it.
Live Nation has carried out a full schedule of shows at the venue this summer. It’s not known if pulling the property from the market means Live Nation intends to keep the site as a music center and book shows into 2008.

Previously, the music company said it wanted to sell Verizon Wireless Music Center and some other music venues it owns because the value of the real estate they sat on was worth more than the value of operating the site for music shows.

There is hope!

“Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”

Wild

2 days after I created this thread, news about the contract getting extended hits the papers.

I saw the online petition but didn’t think much about it.

“The Ghost from the 2nd set 4th night wasn’t nearly as phat as the Wolfman’s from the 6th night’s 3rd encore!”
