Phish

I thought that the lot scene for Phish was sort of stuck up and rude, but then again I only went to a couple of thier shows and never really got into the whole enchalada.
To me the jams never went anywhere, stuck into the same rotations, younger musicans maybe the cause, but the influence was heard all through the music.
I guess that I was Tainted by the Dead and the way everyone had their own voice in the band and together that was a symphony, at least to me.
Phish on the other hand I could go either side of the fence really the studios are well produced and sound good, live shows I have not bothered with, just because there are so many more hours of the Dead to enjoy.
Sorry Phish-heads, I know that in your eyes they are your Dead, for me I can take it or leave it.

I have had the unfortunate luck throughout my life of always having something come up that keeps me from going to show. This has proven true for both the Dead and Phish. Everytime I would get tickets in hand something come up that would make it impossible for me to go. There is also the fact that I did not get truly into the Dead untill late '94 giving me a small window of time to be able to see them. As a result of this horrible streak of luck I have been obsessive about archiving as many shows as I can get my hands hands on. I know it is not quite the same, but I have to go with what I can get. As far as Phish shows the one that sticks out in my mind is 8-13-96 from Deer Creek. The setlist is amazing, plus it has sentimental value because it was the first show I got a a tape of from a friend. I was ecstatic when it was released as part of the Live Phish series, because I was able to listen to the show again as a SBD recording.

Yeah Farbie, I can hear you about the jams not going anywhere alot. I mean I love Phish, but I can only come up with a handful of really good Reba JAMS. Nothing like Phish though...
I saw Phish for the first

I saw Phish for the first time by accident right after getting off Dead tour in fall 1989. To me it was a situation of going from my peak Dead experience to my peak Phish experience. Before the world caught on Phish was just plain stupid fun. If your a fan of Zappaesque composed music listen to some Phish shows from 1991. The scene at Phish shows at this time was wonderful many smart spiritual folk and no hangers on. The band was still travelling around in a van it was a great time to see the band.

"Livephish, PhishNet, etc
I could never understand all the negative stuff about the Dead on these websites. Didn't anyone ever understand where it all came from?"
I already got yelled at for trying to trade a phish ticket on dead lot(early 90's) lol so I guess it goes both ways.
My guess on why alot of Phish phans dislike the dead is when Jerry passed, it basically ruined their scene with all the overflow from gd to phish. Just a guess though.....

My first Dead show was in Phoenix 3-5-94, and I had seen so many Phish stickers and shirts that I wanted to check them out when they came to the suburb of Mesa in December '94... So for me (being 15-16 years old) both bands were just part of one huge awesome trip that I wanted so desperately to be part of. The bus came by and I got on, only there were two buses! The Bozos and the Bolos?
I graduated high school in 1996, so I never got my chance to go on a Dead tour. I did get to see five shows, for that I am forever grateful! But thank goodness Phish was there, playing at their peak, and the spirit of it all was there, I believe...

Wow i am happy to see this thread here as i have spent about 8 years of my life intertwined in the phish world. I wish i could still keep in contact with my friends from those years. I spent the last years of my phish travels in the clinic and actually by that time i was over it, but i look back at those years as if they were pages out of a story book. If the Johnson twins who were my best friend at one time are on here please drop me a line. For some reason i feel that Shawn Johnson is on this thread some where and his twine brother Shane who used to work for Phish and who used to enjoy the Jon Coltrane parties at my place in P town in the late 90's. Anyway Phish was also a big part of my life and i have seen somthing like 175+ shows as i have actually forgotten how many i have been to. I remember many bits and pieces all the time and i am thankful for all these great times.
Ya 96 i felt is was close to being over but then came 97!!!!!!
