Phans that have been to 200+ shows...

The last night of Folsom was my 79th Phish show (100+ including side shows).

Sometimes I'll start to feel burnt out on this band. Felt like it in 2023, but the 6 shows I went to in 2024 blew me away (Grand Rapids + Dicks). Folsom shows were fun, but nothing like my 2024 shows. I'm feeling like I need to take a break.

For 2025 I'm planning on doing either reserved or GA stands shows only. I've mostly done GA floors which can be an ordeal and I don't think that is helping how I feel. Grand Rapids was a joy with a reserved seat showing up 20 minutes before showtime and having a place of my own to sit.

Anyway...I was wondering for people that have been to a lot more shows that me have you ever felt like taking a break or cutting back? Also how long did it take you to get to 200? My 79 shows basically started in 1993, so I'm not doing full tours. I think the most I've done in a single year was 8.

Anything else 200+ people want to add for tips on not getting fried? Or just other experiences from your shows that I might find entertaining?

My goal is to make it to 100 Phish shows but I don't want to force it either.
