Being a huge fan of Phish and former intern at one of their main venues The Capitol Theatre, it’s really cool to get insight into their lighting. I never got to learn specifically if they use their own technicians/designers and equipment, or if they rely on that of the venue. What I find so cool is that they have both their own designers and equipment. It is really nice that they do that as it creates this consistent aesthetic for their lighting design. They use 72 Robe Tetra2 moving LED bars and 60 Robe Spiiders. The designers said they chose these because they like to work with innovative, new, products and I think that is really out of the ordinary for a band that is very retro and band-jammy. Also, because one of the main aspects of Phish is that they never play the same setlist twice, they have to “evolve visually” with each show. This is really difficult to do while keeping the same idea of having to keep each show different enough, but also fits the same aesthetic.
