Phish is an incredible music experience live. I was a relatively early fan circa 1991 when I had the pleasure of seeing the band blow the roof off 1st Av in Minneapolis. I followed the band on and off throughout the rest off their run seeing around 85 shows. I tried to never miss the festivals they put on (nobody does it better). These guys just communicate so effortlessly on stage, the light show and the crowd (some insufferable wooks and most just people into a pretty diverse range of music). What I expect to see in this comment section is a lot of - who cares and they suck. I have no problem with that. The smaller Phish can stay, the better. When you say, "I hate Phish." that means you won't be buying the seats I want when they get back together. I will just say you are missing out on an excellent experience. I keep coming back for more because every show is different and every show has the potential of becoming an instant classic. If and when the guys come back try catching them, if you are open and are into having a good time you will love it. The people watching alone is worth the price of admission. If you are still unsure check out Junta or to get a taste of the live set - phishows.com has loads of great sounding bootlegs.

Jerry Garcia once said Deadheads are kinda like people who like black licorice. Not everybody likes black licorice, but people who like black licorice, *really* like black licorice!"
