ALPHARETTA3 RECAP: NEAR JADED VET DISCOVERS REASON FOR LOVING PHISH AT ALPHARETTA

[We thank user @SaintAndrew Denny Kinlaw, of Greenville, SC, not GA, for recapping last night's show. -Ed.]

A cursory list of things that stood out to a first timer at Alpharetta in 2023:

  • that the Atlanta suburbs approach landscaping as a religious practice,
  • that one can just as easily secure a hearty pre-show cocktail at Top Golf as Shakedown and still be on the lawn in 10 minutes,
  • that the most devoted dancers station themselves on the walkway between the pavilion and the lawn within the fire-code-mandated boxes marked by yellow electrical tape,
  • that one can quite easily ask the tall guy blocking your view in the pit to move 6-inches to the left and he will volunteer to exchange spots with you even though you’re a dude, too, and that is kind of above and beyond typical pit-behavior as I’ve come to understand it,
  • that Phish really and truly do feed on their Atlanta fanbase in a way that clearly expands and sharpens their capacities as musicians, and
  • that one can wander alone in near silence under well-lit, Creighton-myrtle lined streets immediately after leaving a concert with 12,000 other people before finding their car in the Top Golf parking lot.
