Another Hurdle Cleared for Phish to Play Telluride

Glidemagazine.com reports today that the Telluride, Colorado has given their blessing to AEG to hold two Phish concerts in the quaint, scenic mountain town August 9 & 10, 2010.

After an extremely long meeting, the Telluride Town Council has approved AEG’s request to hold a pair of Phish concerts in Town Park on August 9th and 10th by a unanimous vote.

Unanimous vote? Who says government can’t get things done!

The residents played hardball before the vote, demanding that  a small number of  tickets be put aside so that the locals aren’t left looking for a miracle.

One of the biggest complaints from Colorado residents last year was the lack of tickets that went to locals. The Telluride Town Council dealt with this issue by working out a deal in which the promoters would put aside 1,500 tickets for each night for local residents.

It will probably be a few weeks, at the earliest, until any further announcements about a Telluride show are made public.

In other news, Phish announced that their new concert movie Phish 3D will be released in April. Dates and Times to be announced.
