  Better than: Streaming last night's show via the Internet, as a friend was doing. Photo: Stew Smith Phish on June 16, 2009 at the Fox. View concert slideshow. It took about three hours for Phish's show last night at the Fabulous Fox Theatre to reach transcendence. This occurred at the precise moment the quartet started its triptych of songs known as Mike's Groove -- i.e., "Mike's Song," "I Am Hydrogen" and "Weekapaug Groove."

• It's a Lovely Day for a Snow Cone, Don't You Think?

  Steve TruesdellOK, so summer has arrived with a wallop this year. It sucks. But we can spend the next few months either complaining about how underwear-meltingly hot it is, or we can do what little we can to relieve the misery that is summer in the Midwest.How about a snow cone? I had one just yesterday -- orange-pineapple, from Kirkwood's Tropical Moose -- and it helped battle the midday stickies. Need a reminder of how awesome snow cones can be?

See more photos from Crue Fest 2 last night in St. Louis.​ Let's get right to it: Motley Crue may be tabloid royalty -- from blowjobs to blackouts, is there anything we don't know about Mick, Tommy, Nikki, and Vince? -- but last night at Crue Fest 2 at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, you could hardly tell that they've oozed into elder statesmen. Call them pornogenarians. All back in health and wealth, the Crue provi

BY MATTHEW JACKSON Gaslight Anthem vocalist Brian Fallon offered two thank-yous -- equally heartfelt -- last night at Pop's. The first thanked the crowd for "coming out on a Thursday night," as if the day of the week mattered to either the crowdsurfers or arm-folders, both of whom might sooner skip their grandma's funeral than miss a band as immune and bulletproof as Gaslight Anthem.

But enough about downtown St. Louis! It's haunted house season, and a local haunted house has again made the top five this year, according to a group that ranks such emporiums of fake blood and dead babies.
