Trey Talks Phish

I did give my left nut to hear it again! woooohoooo

I would not did!

YES!!! I hate getting my hopes up, but it's tough not to.

Holly Shit!!!! What A FUCKING TEASE!!!!!!!!!! PHISH WILL GET BACK TOGETHER!! And Fuck whoever talks shit, if Trey is sober and stay that way I think a Phish show is possible. Phish's music means soo Much to soo many people I would love to see them come back.

Do you remember where you were and what you were doing when you found out they were ending their last "Hiatus"?

Sweet! Can't wait to read the arguments spawned from this article. Unleash the fury angry hippies.

Oh sweet georgia brown! Come on, this is a super tease, I would love to beable to take my first born to a phish show.

"go and set the comment board ablaze"...so true

man,if this goes down....so does my credit card

Now, I'm not the biggest Phish fan in the world. I did see 35 shows between 1992 and 1995, but lost interest after Jerry died and the Phish scene blew up. I saw them 10 more times between 1995 and the end. However, this surely looks like the makings of a comeback, at least in the embryonic stages. I would definitely see them if they got back together...It's just a shame that they're not allowed to play at Red Rocks, the greatest venue on the planet.

BOY MAN GOD SHIT

What a great fucking comment!!! Trey is great and I think it is wonderful that he has re-found the love to play phish songs again!

my left toe...aka my left nut

"Because at this point in time I would give my left nut to play that song five times in a row every day until I die."

-GOOSEBUMPS!!!

"I would love to beable to take my first born to a phish show"

-really!?! haha at shows me and my buddies always yelled "Better not bring your kidz!", when they got really outside of the wake in their jamz

Everybody was talking so much shit about how they werent getting back toghether and blah blah blah...it wont be the same blah blah blah...I think it would be great for them to tour again, for all you that dont...go fuck yourself and quit bitching you bunch of homo fuckheads!

"I would definitely see them if they got back together...It's just a shame that they're not allowed to play at Red Rocks, the greatest venue on the planet." Why aren't they allowed to play at Red Rocks?

Anyone remember after the "hiatus" at a show in Hampton VA how Trey got pissed and started YEM over after the first few bars because he said that they had been practicing that song so much and he wanted to play it right? He sure seems to have a love/hate relationship with that song. I on the other hand love it unconditionally. I'll see you heads in the lawn Page side in 2010!

whats the date of that 92 show?

nevermind...07/25/92 Stowe Performing Arts Center, Stowe, VT

Set I: Runaway Jim, Foam, Sparkle, Stash, Rift, You Enjoy Myself1, Llama1, Funky Bitch1

1 With Carlos Santana, Raul Rekow, and Karl Perazzo

woah i wanna here this set!!

Already left this one on another thread, but here goes: whatever comes of this is cool, but let it be Trey's decision. He doesn't owe us anything. Seeing how things turned out in August of '95, if you could've maybe taken some of the pressure off Jerry by saying, "You don't have to tour for our sakes - we love you and we want to to be healthy and with us a long time", would you have done it? Yeah? Well ... maybe the same goes for Trey. These folks don't live just to please all of us- and they don't make changes in their lifestyles to hurt us ... don't hate them for stepping off the ride if they need to. If it's fun, play - play your heart out, Trey. But this time, do it for you, buddy.

More Student Loans = Phish Reunion

Cool!

Amazing what a little stay in the pokey does for a man. Good for you Trey. Get back to your roots, call the boys and put on a kick ass tour. We will be waiting.

just curious.....why is phish not allowed to play redrocks?

Rothbury? ha ya right i know, but seriously my day off and i read this great news, after watching footage of phish on youtube all morning. great day great fucking day for music lovers.

unfortunatly, i got into phish while they were on their way out. if they did get together again and i saw em live (which i would time and time again), i would be able to die, a happy man...

Give me a break. I wonder how much worse Phish will be this time if they get back together.

I've been to a many a Phish show, and I would love it if the guys got back together. 88 shows just wasn't enough Phish for me..I need more damnit..

Bryan24,a01---it is because in 1996 someone got hit by a car....a phish fan....in Morrison. Phish, took the heat, and were banned. Great show though.

I am glad that Phans are starting to realize that this is not about us, but about Trey and his quest to stay healthy....this is most important.

I honestly think if they do come back it will be some good stuff. They are all world class musicians. We just gotta keep Trey off of the hard stuff. Stick to the herb Trey, it's what's good for you brother..

fingers are crossed.

Couldn't agre more Natey. This is about Trey and the band, and about making music again. As long as we can keep Trey off of the Heroin and Morphine I think we're in for one hell of a ride if they do end up on the road again.

For what it is worth, Kuroda is finishing up his prior engagments then headed back on the PHISH crew.

CONFIRMED.

fingers are crossed.

Who's Trey???? Never heard of the guy.

Interesting news... in light of the fact that Kuroda just stated in another interview tht Trey asked him to help on a huge project coming up... but couln't talk too much about it.

GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M an emotional wreck just from hearing this news!!! I'll be the Guy CRYING of Joy when they Play their First REBA!!!!!!!!!!!

Wasnt really into Phish before the breakup, but as of now im willing to go anywhere for the reunion!

may we all share in this groove again!

please don't toy with me on this Trey. i literally just shat my pants

a phish fan got hit by a car or were they driving the car?

i wouldn't get your hopes up. its easy to miss your friends and playing live (when thats basiclly all you know) when you've been in jail and house arrest for the last few months

Phish got banned at Red Rocks also because of numerous incidents of ticketless hordes in the parking lot causing incidents with security and police, not to mention the town of Morrison. I attended the run -- along with the Allman Brothers show the night before, which was superior to any of the four Phish shows to these ears -- and this was a case where Phish just became too "big" for a venue, in this case Red Rocks.

Trey Pistachio is the best trombone player I've ever seen... Love saying that.

Anyways.

I would love nothing more in this world than another phish tour, it would be heady.

Stock up on your HaterAde Fools.

I heard they got banned from redrocks cuase a bunch of kids fallowed them and there were tents in peoples front yards in Morrison and there was a bunch of heads... I was too young to experience this but THATS WAT I HEARD...

Jail can definitely put things into perspective, so maybe Trey has finally realized that being bitter about playing the same songs with Phish was a mistake. It takes a really shitty experience, like jail, to see what truly makes you happy in life. Phish has not only made their phans happy but it fulfilled the lives of the band members as well. Although it has lead Trey to drug abuse many more people would be worse off if Phish didn't exist. I personally am VERY grateful that Phish created the music they did for as long as they did, even though I never saw them live. I would love to get the chance to see those guys on stage together, but I also understand that it may never happen. One thing that is certain is that many people like myself would welcome a reunion with open arms if they chose to do so.

jesus christ, nobody got hit by a car. they got banned from red rocks because they were too damn big to be playing there in the first place. they brought a huge crowd with them, and morrison hated it.

"For what it is worth, Kuroda is finishing up his prior engagments then headed back on the PHISH crew"

-so hes gonna finish the black crowes tour than right? hope so! wouldnt ming saying hi to ck5 when hes in town.

I assumed Trey would be talking dirty. What a f'n tease.

Can you imagine when they finally do announce a tour.... hmmmm... $60-75 tickets at sold-out venues and thousands of kids outside in the lots...

Seriously, Phish will need to book a tour stricktly of festivals (ie the Great Went, Clifford Ball, Lemonwheel, IT, Big Cypress)... One in each time zone... Most obviously a large NYE back at Big Cypress, which has a ten year reunion quickly approaching!

It wouldn't be a bad idea for them to come back with a HUGE FREE concert. One that could fit 500,000 people.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=lIOPpiXhldg

here is why they are banned from red rocks, pretty funny video

REDROCKS: From what I remember, Redrocks was a mess. People would be climbing all over the place back then. Trying to sleep in the hills. It was after Jerry and the deadhead who didn't want to go home joined the phish people and it just got to big for that venue.

"they got banned from red rocks because they were too damn big to be playing there in the first place. they brought a huge crowd with them, and morrison hated it."

- SCI brings the same HUGE crazy crowd with them as well though!

where are all the haters chiming in about how trey sucks, little worried about a real jamband on the scene, i would be too.the time has come for phish to be alive again. thats right haters phish will be returning to the jamband scene with vengence. trey, lets give them all a nice big shit burger to eat. PHISH ALL THE WAY>>>>LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If a reunion should ever happen it has to be 1. A festival (In CA, or MAine) 2. Has to be for New Years Tix would be like 250, shit that's what you pay for a shitty Roo this days.!!

watch this for info on red rocks, pretty funny!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIOPpiXhldg

Lets not get too excited, this guy LOVES his 'junk'. I kid, i truly hope to see a healthy and happy Trey on the road soon. Hats off my friend...

man and i was just about to do this whole "getting on with my life" thing. Guess i might have to postpone that for a little while longer.

Guiseppe the 3rd, we all love you and i am truly happy for you...you are one of the reasons i love music...the first would be Phish i know you know that you all playin together are the quintessential rock and roll band today no matter what anybody says...you know it when you FEEL it...Thank you for melting my face off with yor ax of fury..

How crazy is it that one little blurb from Trey brightens so many people's days?! You heard it here first: YEM > Llama, Big Cypress.

We Love you Trey!! Take your time and get things back together all of the parts must be working for the overall system to function properly but once all the parts are tuned everyone better WATCH OUT!

I would love for them to reunite at big cypress on the 10 year reunion, i think that would be the craziest reunion ever. But that is such an unsafe idea.

Just for the record...someone WAS hit by a car, which, along with many run-ins with cops were the TRUE reasons for the ban from Red Rocks. Of course they were TOO BIG for Red Rocks (you don't get banned for that) and Morrison didn't want to deal. Remember when Phish played the Fillmore in 98? That was after Vegas Halloween sold out in minutes....they were WAY "too big" for that. San Francisco knows how to deal with "those types" a 'lil better, as many know. Also, jesus christ isn't a jambase or phish fan.

Sorry but the good old days are gone folks. A Phish reunion tour would be a logistical nightmare. It would be way to big, and they would be getting banned from venues again because of all the stupid lot kids without tickets. If they did come back for a big festival you couldnt pay me to fight thru those crowds. Im just glad I got my 15 shows in when I did. Thanks Guys

Trey - please give your left nut to science. I feel that that could help.

The shows are not going to have to be mammoth. Last time when they came back from hiatus you had to give away tix to some of the shows. (Not the first NYE/Hampton but soon afterwards.) Most of the people who used to go on tour are grown up now with jobs and kids and probably will do a fraction of the shows they used to. And the kids nowadays seem to prefer hip-hop. I'm not saying the shows will be empty but Phish is going to be a smaller thing than it used to be.

...lets go total retro.....please make it old school mail order!!!!!...i miss decorating my envelope to make sure it was one that got chosen......plus many many of the newbies here never got a chance to mail something off and weeks later get the beloved fed ex slip on the door.....nothing like coming home after a day and seeing that fed ex slip there attached to the door and doing ANYTHING to get to the fed ex place before it closed......

^^^^^ Accept the fact that you can get your 16th, Mr. Dali, and breathe in through the nose, and out through the mouth.

Goosebumps, goosebumps, goosebumbs . . .

I'm sorry to hear about everyones left nut. Personally it's my strong one. It gets me thru those black tuesdays after a weekend of going nutter butters.

I was only lucky enough to see around 15 shows, but those were 15 of the best days of my life. Can't wait for the comeback. A sober Trey will rock the socks off anyone with a brain.

i was bitching just last night how the scene was dying, and there never would be another phish (at least to me). not to worry. i just hope all those gutter punk wookies dont ruin the lots again.

yippie!

Red Rocks was great while it lasted, but they went from playing 2 nights to 4 nights. If I recall they were the first to play more than 3 in a row. With no Grateful Dead to follow, and no adequate camping nearby, it was a recipe for disaster. For those who were there on the Tuesday night after all the shit went down the night before and there was talk of even cancelling the last 2 shows, you were treated to one of the greatest Red Rocks concert EVER. Not only did the setlist address the police situation by opening with Makisupa Policeman, the first set built to a fever pitch during Antelope while these 2 giant clouds (one white and one black) came from around each side of the rocks to meet up behind the stage. The entire ampitheatre was surrounded by low lying clouds...and then came the lightning!!! In the distance at first, then closer lighting up the clouds much like their strobe lights during the heavy smoke machine. There was so much static electricity in the air, everyone hair was LITERALLY standing on end. The crackling of energy was building as Trey scratched out the into to Tweezer and something had to give. As Phish played the Beatles "A Day in the Life" we were about to get the shock of our lives. After Page sang the first few verses, the song reaches the part where it builds and builds until it pops and then they have the line..."Woke up, got outta bed dragged a comb across my head." Only this time when they hit that one super sharp note the skyexploded and a GIANT LIGHTNING BOLT ARCED FROM ROCK TO ROCK RIGHT OVER THE CROWD! I was certain that we were all going to die, as they continued the show and torn into Big Black Furry Creatures From Mars to continue taunting the Red Rocks Gods as it started to finally rain. Fishman then came out on cue to sing Purple Rain in an attempt to appease the Gods, and luckilly it worked and our lives were mercifully spared. While the show may not look like much on paper, those who were there will nver forget, unless they are still experiencing seizures from the massive electroshock to their cerebral cortex... Get the show if you can and listen to the crowd after that moment in "A Day in the Life" and you will hear a 1 second pause followed by one of the LOUDEST roars you have ever heard.

08/06/96 (Tue) Red Rocks Amphitheatre - Morrison, CO

Set 1: Makisupa Policeman, Rift*, Suzie Greenberg, Simple, Theme From the Bottom, Lizards, Dinner and a Movie, Horn, Run Like an Antelope

Set 2: The Curtain > Tweezer**, Prince Caspian, A Day in the Life, BBFCFM, Purple Rain, Harry Hood > Tweezer Reprise, E: Johnny B. Goode

Comment: * Contained "This is Red Rocks, This is the Edge," by Trey. ** With "Norwegian Wood" jam.

yes, the mail order lottery. that was the shit!

huh huh trey said 'left nut'! omg!

It's nice to see the angry Phish fans being kept at bay... I thought for sure this board would turn into a mess. Bring on Phish!!!

Bluefox. You may be right, but I think they will be huge. The stories and all the people you said "I wish" will all want to go. It will fizzle out and come back to the core after year one.

boy

man

god

shit!!!

where's Denverguy now? They will be back as early as the fall but most likely next Spring. New album on the way. All you retards that were negative on post hiatus phish please stay away. Trey's back!

bless up trey

All of you are insane Phish is dead and arnt coming back. Besides they havent been too good since the 90s anyways.

who are these kids that don't know why they can't play red rocks? You call yourselves Phish fans. Also, the Stowe, VT show is one of the most circulated shows of all time, get your heads out of your asses youngsters

Mama said if I have nothing nice to say then I should say nothing at all...

Trey recommends the Chilean sea bass.

The Crimson Dago Rides again........could be good.

To the guy that said SCI brings hugs crowds to RR too, come on buddy?! There were more heads running around in Morrison than SCI had at their shows. Remember when SCI tried to play big amphitheaters when Phish was on their 1st hiatus? SCI & Phish, even in SCI's home state, are like comparing apples and oranges.

Also, if anybody really thinks that the boys never hit their stride after hiatus, just go listen to 4 night NYE run in Miami. It was as good a 4 night run as they've EVER had in their careers!

So do I need to get 2nd job now and start saving for this tour?

Ivan Neville said in an interview after he got off the crack that he had lost his way when the drug became more important than making music. Now, Ivan and his Dumpstaphunk will funk your brains out.

Jon Fishman seems to be playing all over and I saw Mike Gordon at JazzFest trying to get into the Blues Tent in front of me--for the music.

Trey lost his direction and the direction has been found.

I ask the rest of the band to let Trey play YEM once a show without taking his left nut.

VIVA LA PHISH!!!!!!

SPEAKING THE TRUTH:

If Phish got back together, the inevitable festival would get ruined by people who go to these festivals to party ( a lot in the past few years) and not to party with the music...I despise these people and wish they would stay in their mothers basements. I am sure not many of these degenerates are on jambase, but we have all seen them...This is happening because we come home after an amazing time and tell our wonderful stories...which of course travels through the grape vine and end up at the bottom...the dirt of this earth...they ruin good time, good fun, I would like to give my left nut for these low life ugly mother f*ckers to see a Slayer, Slither, Papa Roach, or METALLICA show...then ever to see them again...

i like this news.

-

also, mail order is the way to go.

they should also bring back the doniac schvice. you guys remember that? man, i miss mike's corner.

Is anyone else over Phish?

Admittedly, they'll always have a place in my heart, but I've already made my peace with the band and moved on with my life.

I'd probably go see them if they came to my town, but the idea of touring with them is dead to me.

Anyone else feel this way?

id give my frontal lobe

i guess it would have to be after the concert

i had out a copy of slip stitch pass the other day and hadn't heard it in years.....and out pops this copy of the doniac....i LOVED recalling the good ole days....and mike's corner was so bizarre and funny.....

woh-oh shock my brain, wo-oh shock my brain

Tha shit iz bout to hit tha Phannn!

I'm dying to see the boys back in action man...it's been way too long. Coventry was like four years ago; I saw trey with phil over the fall and trey just ripped it up. They throw down the sickest bertha and of course the unbroken chain..was so epic!!! I would give anything to see these guys again. Just one show a year is all were asking. The phans really miss the boys...

I hear ya, twalsh...maybe it's my age, but I caught over 40 shows between 1995 and 2000, and quite frankly, the crowd was going down hill then...too many rude, inconsiderate people...only there for the drugs and the scene and not the music...I was in the parking lot of a show when Mike rode by on a golf cart and someone yelled "hey trey"...his friends tried to correct him, but he didn't care...as he said, "I'm only here for the drugs"...bad time...I know one person shouldn't label an entire crowd, but there were handfuls and handfuls of people just like him...

I have great memories...and it won't be the same (just like when the Dead got too big)...too many good bands with chill crowds to put up with idiots and assholes just to say "I was there"...

I'll wait to see what happens before pump'in my stick...

Perhaps not the last chapter has been written in PHISHTORY!!!

To set things straight, the town of Morrison was vocally agaist the reaction of the police that night. They put the blame of that whole mess on the cops for overreacting. Shitty that it had to go down like that. Mainly cause I wanna see another Phish Red Rocks run. Never gonna happen though.

i remeber Gordon rolling through on a golf cart at deercreek eating a corn dog...fuckin awesome.

Until it is announced, Phish is floating upside down in the aquarium. (just waiting/hoping it comes back to life). Maybe they'll play the end of the world, 21-Dec-2012.

Hey PAoldhead, I hear ya. It was getting very hardcore. Still fun but you can't trust a lot of the heads walking by (anymore).

Until Trey feels the urge to hit the road with the rest of the Phab4, watch my video of most of the Tower Jam at IT.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF3d0tp9EGQ&feature=related

Whether Trey plays solo acoustic, or with Phish, or TAB, or Oysterhead, or GRAB, or Phil and Friends, or with some completely new project, I really don't care. All I want is to be able to experience Trey performing live music once again. It's been a rough year and a half for Trey and his fans. I'll be excited to hear Trey perform anytime, anywhere, and with anyone, but if it's with Phish even better. The most important thing is that Trey stays healthy so he'll be around for his family and his fans for many years to come.

Now this is rather encouraging. It seems the odds are in the favor of this happening. I mean really? Who hasn't gotten back together these day? Most of those people are old, some of the old memebers of the bands are dead and the hate each other and those bands still get back together. So why shouldn't some young guys who are actually friends do the same thing?

We would all be better off. They would raise the bar of what's good.

Phish is not the Rolling Stones or Dave Matthews. They swore to never out price their tickets. It will be 35 at arenas 45 at beacon

Rothbury Needs one more come on!!!!!

I don't have any nutz to give but...what do i have to do to hear the boys YEM (live) again?

Id like to live beneath the dirt

Great! We can get a bunch of unpracticed, unrehearsed shows! And all the kids who never got to see Phish can now gain some heady credit points by saying that they went on a eight run phish tour. I'm looking forward to paying sixty dollars for tickets to sit in the lawn, because that's how much tickets will cost and those are the seats that will be available. Phish WAS the greatest live band of all time. Their time has past. This is the Decade of UNTZ, fuck phish.

i'm 23 years old, and my only phish shows were deer creek 04 and coventry.

what can I say, I was late picking up on this shit. i was into 311 and Sublime for years and never gave phish a chance. i guess thats my fault, but i'm not upset about it anymore(i was upset about it in august 2004).

i fell in love with the music and the scene both. i never toured, so therefore I never saw the negative side of things... some of my friends have toured for years and years, and by the stories they tell, boy it seems like shit can get ugly.

if they come back, i get to take my wife and baby to their first shows, and take them on their/our first tour. thats right, i said TOUR. i need a vacation/change of scenery. whats wrong with touring anyway? i'll flip burritos, grilled cheeses and pizza breads all day long if it means i get to walk half a mile into a venue where the boys are playing that night.

run with your crew and be good. everybody that makes the scene what it is will be there, and unfortunately that includes losers that ruin the mood occaisionally. so be good. enjoy yourselves, and look out for your brothers and sisters.

looking forward to seeing all of you there.

I'm excited as a little girl and my panties are all wet!

I am getting my tanks fired up!

Summer of 09

All I have to say is DI

Kudos to Trey for acknowledging some of the douchebag comments he made after the break up. It looks like you Phuckers may get what you want! Let the countdown begin....

FUCKING DO IT TREY! dont fuck with my head

Finally

PLEASE!!!!!!!

"Can you still have fun now?"

They keep getting closer and closer just like the last haitus until they will finally announce it. As long as they all are back on and into it and focused then it will be unreal. I truly believe they can re-become what they once were at their peak in the late 1990's. Virtually every show for those stretches is great from start to finish. Not all are sick, but there were very very few "bad" or even "just ok" shows. When the focus strayed from the music, most obviously post-haitus, the number of less impressive shows grew. I think they all know that and they all would come back with the intentions of getting back to nasty jams, deep funk, and energy pumping shows they all once knew. Count me in, this could be the shit.

As for Phish no longer being able to play Red Rocks, that tragedy led to one good thing... anyone can know get into the parking lots. Through that year, you had to have a ticket just to get into the parking lots, which is why there were so many people in Morrison. That has been changed, and everyone is now allowed into the lots, ticket or no ticket. So, let's keep our fingers crossed, and if Phish decides to tour again, the venue will bring them back for a 4 night stand.

You could get in the Red Rocks lot without a ticket. You just tell the people working there your ticket is at will call. The venue itself is so easy to sneak into.

I don't think it will happen. Not for a loooooong time at the least. Trey and drugs is not why phish broke up I just don't think the chemistry was there anymore. The band got tired of playing the same stuff and the new stuff was not that great. I miss the band and all the fun. And I have been bored for 4 1/2 years now. But hey could happen soon then I will give my nipples nuts and butt cheeks. Yes indeed

oh sweet god, please. this would be a dream come true, its hard to believe that this is actually gonna happen.

Drewski---Actually, those Phish shows at Red Rocks were VERY SOLD OUT, while SCI, other than last year had a hard time selling the venue out...I've seen SCI there everytime they've played there since 2001, and most of the shows had about 15 empty rows at the rear of the venue....They definitely did not bring the same crowds with the same enthusiasm as Phish did...And again, I'm not the biggest Phish fan, but to say that SCI brought the same crowds is an extreme overstatement.

Ripping YEM! Thanks JamBase.

return.......of..... the jedi!!!

Oh yea - Let's bring on the nostalgia acts!!! Maybe ShaNaNaNa will get back together too. Or go Stones drag their tired, burned out asses across he stage again. Yawn!

For those of you who missed Phish, get over it. If not seeing Phish is the worst thing that happens to you, then you will have had a pretty good life.

Look forward folks. These guys sucked "post hiatus". I don't want to have to see that mess again.

I love you Trey.

i cant wait to just be encoasting a terrace, approaching a rift

If they get back together, I'm gonna have to invest in a siphon hose and a garbage can...thanks to big oil.

I don't know about a lot of the people on here, but I think that it would be a great thing for music if Phish reunited again. People are probably just hating, because of the magnitude of the bands success. Who cares? The music is good for a reason..I just wanna hear a Cars,Trucks, Busses one more time..Don't You?

Kirkbrew- Post hiatus for the most part was not nearly as good as pre-hiatus. I feel fortunate to have seen some awesome post-hiatus shows. Chula Vista, CA 2003...listen to DWD. Listen to the Twist from Vegas 2004 and tell me your face doesn't melt. The Miami run in '03 was sick as all hell... Even the Camden show before Coventry was pretty sick. Listen to Sneakin' Sally. Overall, I don't think post-hiatus was bad. At least most of the shows I saw. The festivals after Big Cypress were all pretty lacking though.

My best boy just got 6 years prob. for growin in mf'n (so the post actually gets posted) murfreesboro tn.....bout 20 minutes from the all amazing bonnaroo ... what's goin on indeed...i'm sad for that & fucked bout it...hope you are doin well trey as well as you other jambase normls. from the bottom of my heart a revolution needs to occur....at least in the southern end...I LOVE YOU ALL and my heart goes out to you all who have lost your financial aid or whatever it is that keeps your life on track. Sincerely,

a fan of all that is good music and loving humans

We end up hating those who end up in jail b/c we think they'll turn on us b/c no one can trust anyone anymore in 'roo town. Believe it or not, someone has to say it, and if if the book never gets written, well this is my 10cents.

Oh, and seriously don't mean to offend you kirkbrew, but trippin acid to phish's 2004 brooklyn dvd with nitrous is a pretty amazing experience. And I do believe the Stones are still putting out a 'last tour' every frkggin year. It's late gimme a break.

Not that there's anything wrong with the Stones...true they should stop lying , but that's entirely NOT what this is about, hmmm?

Seriously.... Reunion NYE 2009? or Halloween 2008? BTW, Did anyone not call this? It'd be nice to see Widespread with some competition on tour again...

page still has to agree to hit the road again.. He does not want to tour hard anymore remember? did he change is his mind?

I'd definitely think that it would be worthwhile to catch a glimpse into what one of the most legendary bands of all time would have to offer. I would hope, though, that this time, they would have the good sense to make a declaration about what kind of atmosphere they are trying to create. While some might believe that it's a bit hypocritical for one of the "headiest" bands to make some kind of public service announcement, it would be refreshing to see a band that could vocalize their intent to do better for themselves. How would one go about this? I'd say one good way would be through song. And I say, if certain groups of people couldn't dig that Trey and the band are trying to stay clean, then those people aren't any kind of Phans for Phish, anyhow. Furthermore, it would be nice if a few more bands had the balls to call out the bullshit that has been happening on the scene. If you wanna have a good time, that's your prerogative. Just do it with some discretion and regard for your fellow man.

to whoever "doesn't want to see a crappy post post hiatus phish" then just dont go to the concert. i dont find it that hard to not do something i find unenjoyable.

goosebumps.

Believe!

Hey, I realy love Trey and Phish and all.....But I'm just seeing way to much carelesness with your left nuts around here people. It's as important as the right one. No one want a case of right testical jealousy in their pants.

To those who are even think about complaining, then don't go. You don't have to go. Don't feel the massive pull just because they will be coming back to play, the other bands in which you do in enjoy will also be there.

Even though I only got in 10 shows before the end, hearing the difference between a fckd up Trey and a "semi-sober" Trey is like night and day! They really nose dived after the hiatus and I can't wait to see if they can come close to the sets from '97 or even '98-99.

its not funny to tease the ones who have not given up. i dont know what i would do if they got back together

Holy Fuckin Shit! There is a God. I always hoped it was all a bunch of Bullshit he was spitting on some drugged up escapade. I can't wait. Bring em back boys. There's no way the last song I'll see them play is The Curtain With. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reunion festival on the beach in North Carolina this September. confirmed.

Hey whats wrong with the Curtain with? I was there I thought it was a good choice No regrets they walked away on there own terms, and hopefully it sounds like they will be coming back in the same way. They should open up the first show back with the Curtain With.

I'm so happy that Trey has realized that his drug use and mental health were pretty out of wack at the time when Phish was put to rest. He is now in good health and is realizing that Phish was the best thing he had going in his life...so I say, do it-to it T Bone...get the boys back together and crank out some new jamms and bring on the old 1s too...we miss you guys more than you know! You men have the power to make something really beautiful happen...again. DO IT and do it with mucho lovin. IT'S WHAT THIS CRAZY WORLD NEEEEEDS NOW! <3

I would like to take a moment to ask all the posers, lot lizards, tour rats, wannabe gangstas, and all around douchebags to find something else to do when Phish returns to the stage. There are many reasons why Phish stopped touring and a key reason, according to a personal conversation I had with a band member said that the scene around the band was getting out of hand. Yes, Trey and other band members had some issues to deal with but the fact that they all spent more time dealing with managing the circus that followed the band than they did in rehearsal took a major toll on them. If you are a true music lover, and love and respect Phish for what they do on stage, as opposed to what they generate in the parking lot, by all means welcome home. For those of you out there that have nothing better to do than sell No2 and break into cars, just stay home. You should have plenty of opportunities to "rage the lot" at Bonnaroo. Long Live Phish!

i dont care what anyone says i want to see them back so i can relive va beachay 98...i knew after seeing grab play get back at the good it wouldnt be long

No archive of Red Rocks 08/06/96????? Someone help me out...

The only copy I ever had of 8/6/96 was a tape that I lent to someone so they could hear it. Remember TAPES?!?! Wish I could post it on nugs.net for all to hear, but alas : ( The one thing that people haven't really addressed is the fact that it will be nearly impossible to "Tour" with anyone nowadays without being independantly wealthy. In Fall of 94, I could fill up my car for like $15 and score a ticket in the lot for $15 as well. For me to come up with the $30 I needed to see the next show meant I only had to sell like 1 1/2 - 2 cases of beer in the lot. Try selling alcohol from show to show and see how fast you get busted by these new corporate sponsored venue's aggressive security. Do you know how many Grilled Cheeses you'd have to sell to fill up your car with gas OR even afford a ticket these days??? Gimme a break. The lot community does not exist anymore to support "touring." As fed up with some of the Spangers (spare changers)& Lot Rats as I got, sadly that was part of the mystique of running away with the circus. Who the hell could afford to see more than just a couple of close proximity East Coast shows back to back? Unless you've saved up, the reality of "Touring" is as Dead as the Fat Man. RIP JERRY

WoW! I can feel the positive energy protruding from MY left nut! ....ssshhhhhit.

Phish NYC NYE 2008. Would be epic! Or a festival in maine next summer!!! Nothing feels as good as Phish!

Okay, so... Sorry to rain on everyones parade, but no one has considered that touring, as WE knew it, is going to be basically impossible for fans nowadays. $4.00 a gallon?! C'mon! The window has closed. I'd see the band in my home town if they played. I just don't see these kids being able to do it like they would want to, like WE DID! ;) Also, the band won't be "raking it in" as some would predict... Without the touring fans(I am not talking about the crusty lot folk, the FAN$) they will be forced into smaller theatres.(maybe not a bad thing) Besides the fact, most of us have moved on. Many fond memories though...I still respect "the phish from Vermont". I just don't see a large "built-in" audience in these cities that is going to sell out the big places. Hopefully they can prove me wrong. Even if they do, it won't be the financial windfall they might expect. Hell, how are people buying gas and groceries as it is? Who has discretionary income anymore? Aren't we all kinda in survival mode currently? Still, an interesting about-face from Trey. Godspeed.

I need a reason to waste my time again! A Piper/2001 glowstick war god i miss that shit!!

^^^ I would go touring even if gas prices were $6.00 a gal. The point is I would save up a lot more, prob. quit smoking cigs and start putting in a jar. My point is that a lot of People would come from very far away to see a reunion project from PHish. Or.. Phish throws down 2 festies a year One for New Year (somewhere in CA) and One in Maine. Then Hit 3-days run in CHICAGO, for the mid-west, NY MGS or PA Spect. For east coast. ect.....

I mean dave mattews still tours at the same venues Phish did soo Why wouldn't Phish be able to do it. If any Band can pull it off it's Phish....

I would be happy if Phish played 1 3 day festival a year!

Note to Myself: Invest in a Hybrid Prius

I don't think Phish wants our testies but if they did then Hell yeah!!

Here's the link for the torrent for the 8-06-1996 Red Rocks show.

Holy shit.. i didnt know that the "This is redrocks, this is the edge" quote was at this show! Maybe I do have this.

My 2Cents. It amazes me on how many of you never got to see Phish. Am I really that old (32). I have seen them a shit ton. I acutally started to loose intrest when "Billy Breathes" came out. I felt that that album wasnt as groundbreaking as say "Picture of Nectar" or "Rift".

But I would never say that "They will not be as good", speaking of experience you only keep growing as a musician. Keep learning and getting better.

Just some Festies from our beloved phellows would be alright with me!

YEM. 10/31/95. Thank you Phish. Bring it when you're ready, I will be waiting.

Also, ladies and gentleman, let's keep focused on the Phish at hand here. Keep it simple, the parking lot is where you park your car. The band is in the venue. The lot lizards and what not can fight with the "lot law" while we are inside dancing. Thank you.

You LOSt interest when BILLY BREATHES came out! Talk about rookies!

BB WAS their breakout studio album. Go back to sleep bro.

Trey's left nut! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

hate to say it...but this is getting old. I've been over it for a while now. I too get my hopes up whenever something like this is announced, but what was really announced? nothing. I'm glad trey feels bad for some of the stupid crap he said after the break up. Who remembers this little quote, "rock music is the servant of the drug culture"? Can someone who is trying to be clean and sober become a servant of the drug culture again? I mean these are years of our lives passing by, without our band, that we can't get back. I guess when i'm 60 and they decide to come back it will be too late. If it was a "cultural timing thing"....then i think their time ran out. I'll believe it when i see it, but right now, i'm done holding my breath.

Phlyin it was rubbish.

i hope to be dancing with phish when i'm/they're 60+.....that would be great....and i have heard NOTHING like this since coventry, i haven't even come close to "holding my breath" for a reunion.....sure it was something i always wanted to happen, but never had any indication like this that it really might happen......the whole kuroda leaving the black crowes for "something special and big" with trey kind of sealed my hopes that it's TRUE....it really feels that way....i might be blue right now, but its not because i'm down, cause since yesterday i started to whole my breathe........

Trey just confirmed for Rothbury...............

I ALWAYS new that they would be back....trust me they will be. Im already there!

then go back to England!

FREE, Waste, CZ, Taste, TFTB........??????

hey wags in carolina,

I don't want to sound negative, but did you seriously think the curtain was a strong way to finish the bands last set? I mean the song is ok but def, should've played something with more heart. Hell I hate fluffhead, but I would have much rather heard that then sad ass curtain. Just my opinion. But it will be nice to see the boys get back together even it is just to hear a rendition of curtain or fluff. I just knew when I was sitting on the side of the hill in Coventry that there was no way it could end like that, and hopefully from the looks of Trey's comments, it wont have to.

And to all of you OLDER cats that think Phish has done the best they can do, then stay home with you memories, bc I know for a fact that no musician has played their best in the past. Their best is always yet to happen. So as long as the boys are still alive, they will continue to get better.

Do it right boys. Take your time Trey. Your real Phans aren't going anywhere.

sorry, "something with more heart" were the wrong words. Just something a little more reminiscent of their career. My bad
