(CBS) If you've been wondering how you can listen to the same guitar solo all summer long, wonder no more! Phish announced its summer tour with a pretty bizarre video (scroll down to watch it).

In the video, a man trudges through a desert city. He haggles briefly with a shopkeeper over the price of a camel. They settle on a price and the man takes the camel into the desert, riding, riding, riding.

Finally, he makes his way up a hill and collapses in front of an oasis - or maybe it's a mirage - with the words "Phish Summer Tour 2011" appearing as clouds in the sky. (He uncovers his face and looks a lot like Phish drummer Jon Fishman.) He passes out.

Tickets are $60 for reserved seating and $45 for general admission at all venues.

if you want to listen to a band that doesent sound good to begin with listen david riedel and the rythm kings

[fluffhead171]

realitycheck go starve yourself. oh wait just kidding. This guy probobly likes U2 and Dave Mathews what either way a big joke and just some internet troll

[Makisupapoliceman]

David Riedel you're a musician???? Never heard of you and outside of this little blurb that CBS allows you to poorly write I probably never will again.

You don't have enough talent to be Trey's guitar tech let alone a Phish roadie, don't quit your day job!!

To everyone else that matters, see you out on tour!!!!!

[FlanSolo]

David, in light of your risible drumming skills, you should probably consider changing your band's name from the Rhythm Kings to something that wouldn't make an audience think they are about to hear talented musicians. If you still want to keep the monarchy thing going, may I suggest the Rhythm Peons?

I wanted to say something witty back to this, but damn. All I can do is laugh.

[realitycheck2011]

phish is the lamest band ever with the biggest loser fans. you can't even call what they play songs or music. i'm not even sure how any of this is news anyway.

[Here_for_the_Gangbang]

i must inquire david, can you still have fun?

[pt_always_wins]

i seriously thought this article was a joke...

is this what cbs calls journalism these days?

if you want to here the same inane misinformed ignorant dribble all summer long read articles by David Riedel. its like reading a high school paper. i cant believe this guy gets paid for this.

Honestly, what is the majority of this piece even about? The content of the ANNOUNCEMENT VIDEO? You suck.
