As always, the price of a Phish ticket includes a free MP3 download of that night's show in its entirety, recorded direct from the soundboard and fully mixed. The digital playback can be redeemed moments after the band steps off stage.

In other Phish news, the band's most recent series of west coast dates featured two very famous -- and rather unlikely -- pop stars in the audience: Justin Bieber, sporting a tie-dye T-shirt and hippie-esque beads, along with girlfriend Selena Gomez. The pop supercouple took in the band's Aug. 15 show at Long Beach Arena .
