Ortweezer?
Should we expect another Opening Day concert announcement Monday?
Last April, the Red Sox and Neil Diamond announced during the home opener that the crooner would play Fenway Park later that summer. This year, while the park will already play host to Dave Matthews for two nights in May, the rumors of Phish opening their summer tour there on May 31 refuse to go away, yet with no official confirmation.
Today comes perhaps the strongest indication though that things are a go, with official Red Sox “ticket re-seller” Ace Tickets confirming the show on its blog.
Phish’s May 31st gig at Fenway Park has been confirmed! Right after Dave Matthews Band rocks the Fens on May 29th and 30th, jam band legends Phish will headline their own show! This is the first time there will be two shows at Fenway in one year, and will kick off the band’s 2009 Summer tour!
The Sox don’t return home until June 6, so that gives the grounds crew ample time to clean up whatever mess is left after a trio of concerts on the Fenway lawn. But here’s hoping that if they are waiting until Monday to make the announcement, we don’t see the boys jamming it out with Wally on the Jumbotron, much like Diamond did in an odd rendition of “Sweet Caroline” complete with Tom Werner. Then again, Fishman has been known to carry a Diamond tune, so maybe a Caroline rendition isn't out of the question.

Sox, you better give season ticket holders an option for these tickets! It will be nice to have a REAL band play and the Fens for once
Screw Ace Tickets.
Looking forward to lighting up the Monster.
I don't know why but i believe him
Walkin through the Fog...readin the Blog Blog Blog....
Just what the Fenway concerts series needs...a band with no melody, no real songs, and a bunch of irritating followers. No, not DMB. Yet another reason to stay away from the Fenway area this spring....
When did WIlbur become so heady?
Would be great if they changed "Bowie" to "Ortiz" for this show.
this is teh allsome!!
Just like I told you the first time, Wilbur. The best part about the Ortweezer is that later on, the Ortweeprise will send everyone home happy.
I'm glad to see that this nickname has gotten some legs after my early morning e-mail to you in 2004. I'll be there with the Sox shirt that my friend made me with Ortweezer on the back as a gift for being in his wedding.
Hopefully, we can get a Piperbon and a Youk Enjoy Myself too.
I'm sure the smell of Fenway Park will make the Phish fans feel right at home.
Time to make Fenway solely a concert venue. Get the Sox the hell outa that hole.
Hey Takavl, let us know when you acquire some taste in music. And I'm not talking about DMB either.
Phish rules your face.
:D hahahahahahahaahahahahahahaaaaa!!!!!!!

Why do I try to kill you?
Gonna have to look into the finance box just to check my status.
Hey Takavl,
One of the best things about Phish is idiots like you can't stand them and definitely DO NOT "GET" IT. So please, PLEASE...continue to stay away and tell people how bad they suck. We've got enough REAL music fans already on-board...don't need any MTVish, DMB, U2, Coldplay bandwagoneers joining our circle. Thank you for not understanding....
Take care of your shoes...
@ tj lmao!!!
youk enjoy myself
piperbon
