Send us a Text Message. Hi everybody and welcome to today’s episode of Attendance Bias. I am your host, Brian Weinstein.

Send us a Text Message. Hi everybody and welcome to today’s episode of Attendance Bias. I am your host, Brian Weinstein. We’ve covered plenty of shows from the summer of 1999 on Attendance Bias but, lest we forget, there was a lot more to that year than a raucous summer tour.

Send us a Text Message. Hi everybody and welcome to today’s episode of Attendance Bias. I am your host, Brian Weinstein. If you’ll indulge my Grandpa-Simpson waxing poetic about the past for a second: when I was first getting into Phish, there were some shows (mostly from the early-90s) that lived in legend. There were stories about them, but it wa…
