G.R.A.B. This!

It's been too long since I've posted on FB.  A move, a new job, and life to blame for lack of updates.  Stupid adult responsibilities....

I've marked my calendar for July 7th.  I'll be chillin' at Jones Beach watching Gordon, Russo, Anastasio, and Benevento (G.R.A.B.) perform on their inaugural tour.  I love the Duo.  Obviously I love Trey and "Cactus" Gordon.  I hope to all that's holy this band lives up to the expectations that are now building in my head.

the below is from Relix.com

On June 28, Phil and Friends will also linkup with G.R.A.B., a new band featuring Trey Anastasio, Mike Gordon, Marco Benevento and Joe Russo, for a series of co-headlining east coast dates. Alternating closing spots, Phil and Friends and G.R.A.B will perform in Raleigh, NC (6/28), Camden, NJ (6/30), Holmdel, NJ (7/1), Saratoga, NY (7/2), Hartford, CT (7/3), Boston (7/6), Wantagh (7/7), Darien Center (7/8), Bethel, NY (7/9), Scranton, PA (7/11) and Essex Junction, VT (7/12). On most nights, the Benevento/Russo Duo will also offer a solo set before performing with Anastasio and Gordon.

Further update from the Phish mailing list:

Though Mike has been performing with the Duo on and off for the past three years, the genesis of the group came together earlier this year when Trey asked Mike and the Duo to join him for a recording session at a Brooklyn studio. Suffice to say, the material rocks. In addition to the new songs, the group will also draw on each other's repertoire and beyond.

We expect to announce up to an additional week of Trey & Mike with the Duo dates sometime shortly.

Tickets will be available through a real time presale beginning Friday, May 5 at NOON EST at http://treytickets.rlc.net. Public on-sales start Friday, May 12. Full show and ticket information will be made available at the toudates page at Phish.com, http://www.mike-gordon.com and http://www.trey.com over the course of this week.

Note:  I just realized this is my 100th post.  Sweet.

It really sucks that they're only playing such a limited amount of dates. Hopefully they'll do more in the future. I can't believe they aren't at least playing Atlanta!

Wonder if they will make it out to California at all. I wonder how Page and John feel about this???
