Send us a textHi everybody and welcome back to the Attendance Bias mini series of previewing each venue of the Phish 2025 summer tour. By now, we've gotten the scoop on the SNHU Arena in Manchester, The Pete in Pittsburgh, the Moody Center in Austin, Folsom Field in Boulder, the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, the North Charleston Coliseum, and the Mann in Philadelphia. We are nearing the end of this series as our episode today focuses on Phish's three-night run at the United Center in Chicago on July 18, 19, and 20. Today, I am joined by Brendan, longtime resident of the Chicagoland area, and he has seen his share of Phish shows in and around the Windy City. More to the point, he has seen tons of sporting events at the United Center, and attended two out of Phish's three inaugural shows at the massive arena in the fall of 2023. Since Phish has only played one previous run at the United Center, there isn't a lot to dig into there, but there is a ton to talk about when it comes to Phish's Chicago history, the background of the venue itself, and obviously, recommendations for things to do around Chicago during this three-day run. Let's join Brendan to talk about it all.

“More Deep Thoughts,” the eighth studio album by Chicago rapper Lil Durk, born Durk Derrick Banks, arrived on March 21, 2025, through Alamo Records and Only The Family (OTF), cementing his reign as a drill music titan. Spanning 22 tracks and 63 minutes, this follow-up to 2022's “7220” and its 2023 deluxe, “Almost Healed,” dives deeper into Durk's duality—street-hardened grit meets vulnerable reflection—while showcasing his evolution as a melodic storyteller. Released amid a banner year for the 32-year-old, who saw his Smurkchella festival sell out Chicago's United Center in February 2025, the album reflects both personal triumph and lingering pain, underscored by his ongoing legal battles and the loss of peers like King Von.The album opens with “Turn Up a Notch,” a menacing banger produced by Brizzy on Da Beat and Noc, where Durk's Auto-Tuned flow snarls over eerie keys and thumping 808s, signaling his intent to dominate. Lead single “Monitoring Me,” dropped in October 2024, blends haunting piano with boasts of resilience, peaking at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and setting the tone for a project heavy on introspection. Collaborations shine bright: Drake trades verses on the syrupy “Discontinuing Wockhardt,” 21 Savage snarls through “Internet Trolls,” and Future's woozy croon elevates “Late Checkout.” Rising stars like GloRilla and Lil Baby add fire to “Oprah's Bank Account” and “Went Hollywood for a Year,” respectively, while a posthumous King Von feature on “Same Me” delivers a gut punch of nostalgia.Production, helmed by Durk's go-to crew—Touch of Trent, Chopsquad DJ, and Noc—leans into drill's signature sound but softens it with melodic flourishes, a nod to his crossover appeal. Tracks like “Newsroom” and “Stomach Growling” tackle betrayal and hunger, both literal and figurative, with Durk lamenting lost friends and fake love. X posts from @LilDurkDaily praised its emotional heft, with one fan noting, “Durk really poured his soul into this, you can hear the growth.” The album's centerpiece, “Old Days,” a February 2025 loosie turned fan favorite, mourns his pre-fame simplicity over a soulful sample, earning comparisons to “What Happened to Virgil” for its raw honesty.“More Deep Thoughts” isn't without flaws—its 22-track length drags at times, and some cuts like “Bad Guy” feel formulaic. Yet, its highs are undeniable. Thematically, it wrestles with Durk's O Block roots, his role as a father of seven, and the weight of surviving a war-torn scene, all while dodging a 2024 murder-for-hire charge tied to a 2022 L.A. shooting. Rolling Stone gave it 4 stars, calling it “a victory lap with scars,” while Pitchfork lauded its “cinematic scope.” Debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 185,000 units, it's his third chart-topper, proving his commercial clout.As of March 27, 2025, with Durk free on bond and teasing a deluxe via X, “More Deep Thoughts” stands as a testament to his staying power—a bruised, defiant diary of a drill king still fighting to heal.

The band's signature pyrotechnics show, a staple of their energetic sets, caused minor damage to the Chicago Bulls' six championship banners, forcing their removal from the arena's rafters. These iconic banners, commemorating the Bulls' dominance in the 1990s under Michael Jordan, will remain absent for the rest of the NBA season as repairs are underway. Despite the incident, Disturbed's hometown show was a sold-out success, celebrating the 25th anniversary of their breakout album, "The Sickness." The band, formed in Chicago in 1994, has yet to comment on the incident, but their performance certainly left a lasting impression on the city's sports landscape.” _ - _ -

We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.
