On Phish: always destroy your gods and fathers. but then go back again and forget what you learned in the first place and re-listen; don't deify your youth, and don't damn it either. don't go on tour if you don't like what you hear, don't go see them at all if you don't like the crowd. smile and nod when someone waxes poetic over them and you don't care.
in a fairly recent Relix, Trey said "we had a great run and nobody died" which is a pretty heavy statement, and in the same breath he said that "someone should ask Page" about the break-up and the obove statement. I think if there were chemical problems in the group, it could very well have helped lead to its demise. If those problems are resolved, I could very well see them rising from the ashes like Phoenix, or at least like the shaky last 15 years of the Dead. either way: sweet!

Yeah, I don't know about a Pheonix. It will probably be more like a 4/4 Chickadee. The fact is that Phish isn't even talenented enough to play their best works (refer to Junta if your not sure about Phish's former capabilities), let alone write new worthwile material. But they still put on an adiquate show to go see, However if they where playing the same night as Sound Tribe or the Duo, I would have to here about the Phish show from you guys cause I won't be there.

I think their referring to a band or crew member.
They could probably care less about the fans IMHO.

Someone has been posting under my name!! (See above: Clay 'guest'). That was not me. Seriously. I rarely make 1 line posts, especially when the topic is Phish.
That said, i basically agree with the fake Clay posting. I do hate that people abuse herion and OC at Phish shows, as I've lost good friends to both drugs. I do think that people should avoid getting addicted to heavy drugs. So i wouldnt exactly say 'who cares' about heroin--after all, the reason trey de-toured Phish is due to his own battle with OC.
But, that said, I've heard that the October/NYE run rumors are true from some higher-ups, and betta betcha bottom dollar i'll be there. There will never be any change in the amount of lot-trash at shows, as the reputation has been established. However, the critical thing to know is that Phish, post hiatus (aka 2002-->) was not different than 'old' phish. I observed a lot of people change their opinions about phish, yet as one who attends most of the shows, i'd offer the opinion that people change, phish didnt really change that much. If you need examples, check out soundfiles of IT, Woosta Feb 03, SPAC 04, Boston 03, or about 30 other shows I could name.
The point is that people change over time, and therefore, their relationships to art change. Trey flubbed songs back in 94. Trey wrote ballads and sappy songs back then too. Phish 2.0 (i.e. JEMP) will continue the trend. People will continue to have their opinions change, and that is great! Evolution is important and valid.

I agree with 100% Clay. All of your points are valid and well spoken. I will also be there this fall, for as negative as I have been from the begining of the thread, I am also a hippocrite and gullible as hell. Those two fine attributes will put me square in the middle of the Wachovia Center having a blast.

i'll join you in the hypocrite square: im actually hoping that the reunion isnt for another year or so, even though the rumors are contrary. I just got a new job that i need to keep, and though i get a generous amt of vacation, taking one depends on the workload at my office. This might get problematic when tour starts b/c i tend to get very unmanageable when there are shows going on and i am not at them. By 'unmanageable', i have historically meant 'not at work'.

www.rense.com/health3/rmusic.htmFANS FIND SOMETHING FISHY ABOUT PHISH CONCERTS DENVER (Wireless Flash) -- There's something fishy about the band Phish -- at least if you believe a man who's been to more than 30 of the group's psychedelic shows. 23-year-old Dan Hinman claims he's witnessed all sorts of odd behavior at the concerts and has concluded that the shows might be mind control experiments conducted by the government. Hinman says the band plays very unique hypnotic tones and notes which frequently transform the audience into a group of willing zombies. Even more suspicious, the band has held several concerts at military bases where mind control projects are supposedly underway. Hinman believes the government might be experimenting with a method to control the youth of America by making them more passive. He claims the sad thing is that most Phish fans are so devoted to the band, they refuse to believe the concerts could be mind control experiments.
