heavy rumor:
The band is trying to work out the details of the return. Most people with some sort of connection with start finding this info out within the next few weeks or so. There might even be an official announcement by Spring letting the fans know that the band will return later this year.
Basically, the band knew all along this would only be a break to clear the issues within the organization, start fresh, get sober, explore other projects etc..but made it seem as if the band was done for good just incase those issues could not be resolved. No one, not even the band knew for sure what would happen after the breakup.
I wouldnt get too excited because for the most part they will only be doing a summer tour each year with a standard NYE run and possible brief run of shows each fall/winter. This model of touring is Coran Capshaw's design for DMB (touring extensively in the summer and taking the time in between off..minus a few shows in the winter). Due to the contract Trey is involved in and by the bands choice, Coran will be running the show from now on along with some of the familiar faces of Dionysian Productions. I'd say that only 15-20 people from the old crew/staff will be part of Phish v2.0.
The boys want to return but are making sure that everything is in order before doing anything and a big part of that was sacrificing alot of the old friends that worked for them in hopes of filtering out the problems that arose post 1998. They really are only keeping the faces that were around pre 1992..basically the core group.
In terms of the comeback show, they are trying to work out a late October short run of shows as well as a NYE run and then staying low key until Summer of 2007.
Until then, fans can expect Trey to play a short oysterhead tour as well as a very short run of shows (as in less than 5) with 70VP this summer at some festivals. The band for the most part will be together all summer practicing and writing new material because they want to come back fresh and regenerated.
Things will be different, but they will be back.
They really wanted to tear down every wall surrounding them and start fresh as if it were Day 1 again. The band will play their old songs, but at least half of the phish songs will never be played again. My source who has spoken with Trey many times about the whole issue said that Trey refuses to sing/play any songs that remind him of certain years from phishs career or that remind him of the bands old childish ways. The band wants to come back in a very serious manner and will do away with the pranks/theatrics and other childish things that would occur on phishs stage.
when i have more info, you know i will post it.
--I don't know if this is true or not, but man, how about letting go? Some music should just stay dead in my opinion. I mean, if they play something really good, more power to them, but I just don't think they have what it takes. Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the lot!
