I've alwayys heard, through some well connected sources, that when Phish played JF last, the city told JF "Never Again".

Could be urban legend, could be lie, but it is what I've always heard.


They did receive widespread (no pun intended) criticism throughout the city because of the fans gate-crashing, blatant drug use, etc. I still hear older people bitch about it whenever Phish is brought up. Even if this so-called ban were the case, they could always come back to the friendly confines of the UNO Lakefront Arena.

Phish encountered a similar situation when they were officially banned from Red Rocks in 1996 because of the fans. The city of Morrison,CO lifted the ban in 2009 and the band played 4 soldout shows.

Phish would bring nothing positive to jazzfest.

Let them come on their own time.
