Phish Float Donated To Rock Hall
Band used hot-dog float during millennium event.
The hot-dog float that carried Phish to the stage during their
New Year's Eve festival in Florida last week will be donated to the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, according to the band's publicists. The
float will hang in the hall's atrium. The Burlington, Vt.,
improvisational band rode the float over the crowd of 75,000 at Big
Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation before playing the eight-hour
marathon set that ended the Dec. 30–31 event. The shows grossed
$11.6 million, according to the trade magazine Pollstar, making
it the highest-grossing millennium event in the United States. The
band also used the hot-dog float at a show at the Boston Garden on
Dec. 31, 1994.
