Trey Anastasio and his band headlined Grace Potter's Grand Point North Music Festival in Burlington, Vermont this past weekend. This was the first time the band has played in town since 2011.

About halfway through his performance, he paused for a few moments to give the crowd "a little Burlington history". He talked about the first time he came to visit town when he was 18 years old. He was supposed to be visiting The University of Vermont, but instead of visiting the school, he decided to grab a beer and see some...

A couple weeks ago performers like Dead and Company, Taylor Swift, and Bruce Springsteen partnered up with Ticketmaster to use their new "Verified Fan" program when selling tickets to their events. "We built a really big robot to protect fans from the thousands of little scalper bots trying to scoop up tickets. Fans register ahead of time, and those who are verified and selected receive a code that unlocks the opportunity to purchase tickets. Ticketmaster #VerifiedFan was designed to separate actual, human fans from bots and scalpers. The system aims to thwart bad actors who are in the business of taking away tickets from fans just so they...

So one of our Developers, posted a Friday ticket for Dick's and asked the question "what is the craziest thing you have seen at a Phish show?" The responses were out of control...here are the top 10.

Let's talk Phish. Most fans need to at least see an image, comment in a group, or physically talk to another person at least 8 times a day about these guys or else they go nuts. As if it wasn't hard enough before to pretend every sign in life was a Phish reference, now we can't even look at our co-workers breakfast or doughnuts related things in stores and not be brought somewhere completely different...thinking about Phish completing a legendary residency at MSG just a couple weeks ago. We're just supposed to go back to work and tell your co-workers who ask "How was your trip?" that it was "Great" when you're secretly daydreaming about...

The support for Rob and the enetire band was felt all around and their attitude and confidence in a healthy recovery, and the eventual return of moe., surely set the tone for an unforgetable show. The band opened the set with "Moth" and flowed into into "Puebla" followed by "Annihilation Blues"...
