This remnant will be replaced soon. The FAQ is back, with a new design! Can I take photos at a Phish show? Phish only allows photography (still and video) at their shows with a signed pass from the band/management. These passes are usually worn around the neck so that at a glance Security can see that you are legit. Unfortunately this has become necessary due to people photographing/videoing the band and then illegally selling their products. Paraphrased from posts by Shelly Culbertson 7/30/97 and Dre <williama@kenyon.edu> c.1993 It became policy circa 3/24/92. Photographers who manage to get passes are for the most part professionals (e.g. Nubar Alexanian) and work for publications. They are usually not found in the audience, given their needs for space and access, and the expense of their equipment. Stealth photography is strongly discouraged, even by other fans. When Phish got more popular and everyone who wanted pictures just grabbed any ole thing to take the shots, the result was annoying flashes in the band's eye all night long. So-called quot;sneakers" make it difficult for the legit professionals who wan the band to soften their policy and allow more passes. Nonetheless, there are many pages that host fan-taken, including lot photos, festival photos, and photos of side projects: Phish Pics PhishEye Crazy Finger (lots) Hampton 1/3-4/03 Jason's Live Music Amateur Photo Album Trey Parker's collection (assembled from other web sites) Summer '97 in Europe The Great Went (from nugs.net) Hampton 11-97 (from Robbie Dunn) Hampton 11-97 (from Joey) '98 Gorge Lemonwheel from Kuras Lemonwheel from Chip Lemonwheel by Eva Lemonwheel from phans.com 10/15/98 Fillmore 10/17&18/98 Bridge Benefit from Randy Misc from Alden Griffith Picture of the Day Utah Fall 98 Europe Summer '98 Andy's Index Phil and Phriends (4/15-17/99) from Robert Minkin 12/31/02 and 12/31/02 Phishheads.com (including 12/31/02, and many other artists) Also, you might want to check out the Phish.Net's archives, including the collections of pictures and graphics.
