The Phish live at Bonnaroo, today: This band have developed a great sound, well-defined style, in the best tradition of the roots of rock (and derivatives), very attractive. The show is supported by a well-designed scenery, a superb set of lights the scene is sometimes breathtaking. But I think the band Phish, to be considered a top band, needed a distinct lead-singer, more versatile and with other possibilities. The current lead singer, does a reasonable job, but modest, is not sufficient. The power of this band lies in the overall sound produced. By the way, I particularly like the version of the George.Harrison (& Beatles!) song "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," I do not know if it will be displayed at Bonnaroo. What I found also a very nice gesture, the Phish was inviting the singer Kenny Rogers, 73 years old, for a song with them on stage.

You are undoubtedly the most confrontational and hostile Deadhead I've ever encountered. I guess there's gotta be at least one, but I prefer the ones that share their mushrooms with me and tell me how much they love every thing. |

never really liked this album, or this song actually. their studio stuff is more refreshing to me. I saw them live about a year ago and was pretty disappointed... :( but just the other day I bought a live trey album from the phish website and 1/2 of it is pretty good, really good actually! I don't know what's up with my head. maybe I've listened to too much phish and been to too many dead shows! how's that for nonsense  |

I still can't help dancing when I hear this song. Maybe it's silly and whimsical, but it never fails to put me in a good mood! Yay, Phish!  |

I agree—I deleted all of my Phish mp3s some years ago—should see about getting a couple again (not too many though—just enough for them to pop up in a shuffle here and there)... |
