MOST FUN EVER - WOW - Thanks @phish you rock my world

"Don't shine that thing in my face man..." - Trey Anastasio on laser pointers during 12/31/95 Axilla - CLEARLY for those of us that were there, this was just another example of the INCREDIBLE creativity and renewal that WAS Festival 8....i think they could go to festival 20 and not have a scintilla of stale ideas or concepts for the music and the art that accompanies it. Summer Tour less than 1 month away!!, cannot believe they're doing atlanta 4th of July, its going to be crazy.

[Hipster420]

It would have been much better without the laser pointing fuckheads..I don't get it...can't they see that they are fucking it up for themselves and everybody else??

[southernbille]

Yeah, and laser pointers change color. All at the same time.

[southernbille]

Those aren't laser pointers, calm down. The effect is built in the Burble. That should be obvious.

[JamtopiaDotCom]

@southernbille This might be the funniest thing ever written about F8.

[mbglosser]

@southernbille maybe so.. but i was personally pointing my green laser pointer at that thing

[mbglosser]

@southernbille but yea for the most part its just built in effect

[mostwanted7530]

@southernbille WOW what a dumbass.

[Gr8estStory]

Fucking idiots and their laser pointer...what are you, 5 years old?

You know some of the laser clowns are reading these comments...leave it at home next time jackass

[brooklynballa125]

yeaaa lasers are mad cool i love people with laser pointers at shows <3 lol and its not the borealis its the burble!

[Jiggs1026]

That would have been cool without the laser pointers.

[PhunkyPhishPhan]

Dear lame jaded Phish vets:

Stop being a total bore and telling people how to properly enjoy a show. If you truly care about something as trivial as a laser pointer, go home and let the rest of us have fun..

[Bonzoandthemadhatter]

@PhunkyPhishPhan hahahaha lame jaded phish vets....well said

[derekgulker]

you can feel good

[birdland64]

This was truly magical - a beautiful night indeed.

[BIGCJMCNASTY]

This is the other one I think. Borealis was the long wiggly one that came out during Light.

I think.

[JPCinematography]

put down the green laser pointers ya jackasses

[thenancylady]

That was the best festival! All the art was amazing! Thanks phish!

[DianaFranshesca]

best festival ever !!!

[jutbro]

that actually is the Borealis by Hector Serrano studio, not the burble.

[pharcyd00]

That's actually not The Borealis...it's The Burble. The Borealis is a water/laser contraption that reacts to noise...it was rumored to be at 8, but wasn't.

[Giraffe949]

yea maybe it was too dry in the desert to make that much mist... atleast thats what im goin with. =)

[lvmayhemdr]

yea pharcy, i did a little research and jutbro is right. this is borealis. I think the sites that had given advance info (like jamtopia) must have confused the two or something.

[SuperScaglietti]

man those green lasers are annoying, its giving me a headache. that was a very cool part of the show that night, probably the most incredible music weekend of my life, so happy I made it.

[jmzr65]

the only thing worse than green laser pointers are the idiots that bring them to shows...

[sneakonproductionz]

@jmzr65

Dont think those are pointers... becuase you can't see the light beam.... those are eminating from the thing itself... had the same discussion with my buddy during it

[Ducatiboy73]

Thank you and everyone else for posting all the great memories of 8!!!

Best Phish festival EVER

Much luv from BHAM WA

[zannapics]

That thing was so cool!!! Looked like giant jelly bean.

[Giraffe949]

second that and i think about about 40k other peeps will fourth, fifth, and so on that it was the greatest. evar.

..... MIAMI!

[galbophoto]

actually Kuroda had nothing to do with this (except for maybe suggesting they be contacted). The true guys to thank for the very first borealis flight are Oscar, Rafael and Christopher (I'm guessing they work for Hector Serrano Studio). I wish i knew their last names, but along with them, me and 3 other WET volunteers spent the whole show friday getting the balloons up on that thing and took it sailing throught the crowd. Those 3 guys made it happen, along with the WET volunteers!!

[whenlukemetari]

kuroda is a god.

[bug3481]

Festival 8 was the shit... So lucky I got to see this in person... Truly amazing!!!

[capteboz12]

wow I wish I could have been there. I agree with funkymanwhizzle.stuff like this is what makes phish great

[bluedream1252]

and of course...the music.

[xcall4revolutionx]

that whole thing was the most amazing experiance ever! thanks phish for giving us that!

[funkymanswizzle]

I can't believe I missed this. It's stuff like this that makes a Phish Festival

[acrazyspiritual]

ahh I wish I was there..

[PhilipRBlaine]

This art piece is called Borealis, please understand the whole burble thing was a leak misinfo thing. Thanks! by Hector Serrano Studio and Javier Esteban

[msw1978]

I was just going to correct them myself.

[SwitzerlandStudios]

I'm assuming that Kuroda was responsible for this?

[Troyfis]

4:18 thing starts to do some tight shit

[phacino]

Amazing harry hood, the stones alb was amaIng, and the mikes into 2001 was just plain ridiculous!

[sakuramingo]

i LOVE it!

[julburge]

lazer pointers are gay

[rgrossi]

sharks with lazer pointers on the other hand..

[dividethesky2]

yeah they were always annoying

[moeron420024]

best t-shirt ever --"having a laser pointer doesn't make you chris karuda"

[Stimbuck]

So true
