Lemonwheel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lemonwheel was the third of seven weekend-long festivals hosted by the rock band Phish. The event took place on August 15 and 16, 1998, at the Loring Air Force Base in Limestone, Maine, just miles from the Canadian border. 70,000 people attended, thus making the event Phish's second largest concert up to that point. At the time, it was also the longest Phish concert ever.

Phish was the only band at the event, performing seven sets of music over two nights, including a bonus set of ambient music on the first night. Fans camped out onsite in tents, creating community of fans that became the largest city in Maine over the weekend.

At the festival, the band had the audience make candles throughout the weekend. At the end of the first show, the band lined the stage with candles, turned out all the lights, and played one long, quiet, ambient jam.
