Phishy business won't be missed

Phish plays its last concert tonight.
But don't look the Burlington, Vt., band and its thousands of fans, who follow it from city to city, to return to the 9,500-seat Red Rocks Amphitheater. ''I think Red Rocks is just too small a venue for this popular a band,'' concert promoter Barry Fey said Tuesday.
Good riddance, says Lisa Lutao, manager of the Bradley gas station in Morrison.
''The shoplifting has been out of control,'' she said. ''I never want to see them again. A lot are really nice and fun to talk to. But some have a lot of attitude.''
Phish fans have created problems in other cities, where they have been arrested on drinking and drug charges. One fan died when he fell off a car while hitching a ride to a concert.
