Dude... don't you know that they now pay the police to arrest their fans?

I wonder if they knew just what they were paying for. I would think a band with a following like Phish's would have known better, though. Almost inexcusable.

Yeah of course that COULDN'T have been included in their contract for the venue, given the magnitude of the concert...

well we have decided not to try for Gorge tickets, despite the temptation...
we'll be looking for those bootleg recordings though!

Good to know that Phish will be able to afford to have more fans arrested. That's a load off of my mind.

Sam, if you want to take a load off you should change your avatar. It lowers your score by about 20.

Default nonsense
MANY small and mid-sized towns have laws requiring bands to pay for increased police and security, if deemed necessary by the mayor, police chief, etc. The Grateful Dead had to do that OFTEN in the late-80’s, as their reputation scared the shit out of small-town America. Sam, I don’t know in which direction your musical tastes lie, but I think it’s a safe assumption that you have seen shows in which some of your ticket money has gone toward this exact type of thing. To say that Phish is purposely persecuting their fanbase for drug use doesn’t make a whole lot of sense from any perspective… considering the fans, and Trey’s own proclivity for imbibing now and again… and again… and again.

Were there ever any major drug busts at any Grateful Dead shows? Having just read Captain Tripps - Jerry's biography - I can safely answer that there was not.

That right there is a ridiculous statement... but ignoring that for a minute, the zeal with which a police force goes about it's duties, and who foots the bill for those duties, are two vastly different things.

And, with all due respect, maybe reading A book about Jerry Garcia doesn't make you an expert on the Dead.

Speaking of ridiculous statements... care to make any that aren't? Haven't seen you capable of this yet, actually.

If I foot the bill for police and they come to my party and arrest my guests, I am an asshat - just like Phish now is.

And who in the heck said anything about being an expert on the Dead? I asked if there were ever any major drug busts - anything even close to what Phish paid for - at any of their shows. I know that there were not. Were there arrests for drugs? Of course. Was there anything approaching $1.2 million in value? Uh... no. You can call this a ridiculous statement and I will merely consider the source of this judgment and smile.

Seriously... being a willfully-blind apologist for anything is rather pathetic. Perhaps a little objectivity will help you to see why people are upset that the band paid for their fans to get arrested.

Good luck with that.

I think all I was saying is that Phish probably had a choice to pay for police or not do the show... I think that 99.99% of the people who went were happy with their ultimate decision.

$1.2 million sounds like a huge number. When it comes to drugs, it's not. If you want to adjust for 30 years of inflation, I think you'd not find the comparison between arrests at some Dead shows that far off the mark.

Your comparison of that show to your houseparty is far from apt in a million ways. If you had the choice to throw a houseparty with law enforcement, or not throw one at all, you'd dissapoint four people, and have no effect on your livelihood.

The Dead DID pay for law enforcement... the result, be it $1.2 million, or fifty cents, is immaterial to your argument, which is that Phish are assholes for agreeing to pay at all.

I like reading your posts Sam, because they are usually pretty eloquent, but that doesn't change the fact that you enjoy shit-stirring for the sake of the smell...
