Phish - just wondering
So since it's in the description of what this forum is for, has anyone heard anything about Phish lately (other than Trey getting busted for prescription meds awhile back)? I'm ready for the hiatus to be over....

Page just released a CD. I read a review that said that the music was great but it sucked when there were lyrics? It also said that every member of Phish is on the CD but never together.

I stopped even trying to listen to the solo stuff, Surrender to the Air was it for me. I just want some of that live, circa 98-99, funked out, 2001>Cities>Antelope. Or how about a Halley's Comet from way back in the day....

Page is in Burlington May 30th. Doesnt do me no good, I'll be gone, living on the rockpile.
Its such a bummer, I was properly introduced to Phish at the beginning of the summer in which they broke up. I still listen to them enthusiastically. Nothing like some divided sky to chill out.

That is too bad, I was introduced in 95, and they pretty much took over my college years.

Haven't followed any of the solo careers but I do miss them. Any Clifford Ball'ers or Great Went'ers here? My first two and last two big concerts. Wow. A lot of "happy" people in one place.

Clifford Ball (that was at Plattsburg AFB, right?) was, I think, the last of my big festival shows. I left right after the show, and endured a very strange drive  directly to NJ to my nephew's Chistening where I was godfather. I think the event was the best all around Phish Festival experience I had, closely resembling the old dead tour, though friends who attended Highgate have told me that I missed out big time there. I really enjoyed the few Phish festivals I attended (remember 1 or 2 at the bush that were great times) and almost all of their shows that I saw.
I was lucky to stumble across them relatively early on ~89 - I was going to school in College Park, MD and went to the Bayou in DC to see this great new band everyone in NY/NJ had told me about - Blues Traveler. Show was packed, we were underage and made it in for the last song of the Traveler's set. The most memorable thing about BT was Popper's angelic voice, but what stayed with me after that show was the headliner who traveler opened for and who none of us had ever heard of - Phish.
I never full-on toured with them like I did the Dead, but saw around 40 shows - the best being at Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY Thanksgiving 90 or 91 (first Axis ever on Hendrix's birthday). I remember leaving the last of the 175 Dead shows I saw, in MSG in the Fall of 92 and saying, "I wish I saw Phish tonight, they never disappoint me." In hindsight, I felt guilty about that, but it was true at the time. It no longer is as I was thoroughly unimpressed the last time I saw Phish. They may have changed, I know I have, but there are still some great music and memories in my head, on my tapes, discs and in my heart.
