Phish said Friday that its September 14 benefit show in Essex Junction, Vt. netted $1.2 million for flood relief.
Two charitable organizations, The Vermont Community Foundation and The WaterWheel Foundation will share the proceeds, which will be put toward cleaning up the damage caused by Tropical Storm Irene.
The concert was a homecoming of sorts for the band. Phish had not played a show in their home state since 2004.

“We are all tremendously appreciative of the band members and everyone else involved,” said VCF President and CEO Stuart Comstock-Gay. “This is an incredible contribution they are making to rebuilding Vermont.”
