***Telluride Photography's Merrick Chase covered the entire process of how Phish came to play in Telluride in August of 2010, from the first questionable town council meeting right on up to the opening notes of the concerts in Town Park. His coverage appeared everywhere from JamBase.com to the Denver Post and countless places in between, in addition to being featured in The Telluride Daily Planet and here on Telluride Photography's site. This page remains as an archive of that coverage.
