Epic Concert Location

  • 1. Good place

ITITThere is a place in Hampton Virginia that is unlike any other place in the world. In fact I have just come to the conclusion that no two places are the same, all are unique, but this one is especially special. The Hampton Coliseum is more than a stadium, more than a concert hall, more than silly building in the middle of a silly town, it is a place where one can transcend space and time; enter a vortex to another dimension; essentially a place where one can BLAST OFF. The facade of the Coliseum appears most uncoliseum like (if there is such a thing, but I deem that there is). It looks like the futuristic creation of a foreign alien race, who just happened to place one of their temples in the middle of America. It sits right on a body of water and at night appears as if its floating, waiting for the moment that it can take off back into the infinite body of mass that is the known universe. Four years ago I witnessed a band create music there that sent the patrons of the coliseum to a place that is neither physical nor real, a place of spiritual essence that I deem the TRUTHNUGGET. That band is Phish, and once again they are returning for the coliseum to play their reunion show. Who knows what may happen when they return to this majestic location, but I will be their to witness the launch of a new Phish era and possibly a massive displacement of Place into the greater heavens of space.
