Furthur to throw benefit concert to celebrate Phil's 70th Birthday

The brutal images we are all witnessing out of Haiti on a daily basis have touched all of our lives, and the boys from Furthur are no exception.

To help aid the people of Haiti and celebrate Phil's 70th Birthday, the band will hold a special benefit concert for the Unbroken Chain Foundation with proceeds to aid Haitian Earthquake Relief. The one night only event, will take place at San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on Friday, March 12, 2010.

Tickets go on sale today (Jan. 21, 2009) at 3 p.m. PT. Tickets range from 39.50 (general admission) plus a 2$ "Homeless Connect" fee to $123 (VIP) plus a $2 "Homeless Connect" fee - VIP seating includes a birthday poster signed by Phil and Bob (man, I want that poster!), access to the VIP lounge, and a Birthday T-shirt.

For those of us who will be unable to attend the event, text "Haiti" to the American Red Cross at 90999. A charge of $10 will be added to your monthly bill. The campaign has already raised $25 million.
