There are some superficial similarities- word-of-mouth popularity due to extensive touring, completely different setlists from show to show, liberal taping policy, hippie-looking crowd following them around, etc... But the music is not even remotely the same. Musically, they have as much in common with Frank Zappa as they do with the Dead. They tend towards Prog Rock, Jazz, Funk, and even Bluegrass more than the country-ish americana rock of the Dead. I've seen them close a show with a barbershop quartet version of "freebird." So let's please retire this false analogy. Anyone who claims that "Phish is just like the Grateful Dead" or "All of their music sounds the same" has obviously not listened to much of their music. You don't have to like their music, but at least stop trying to pigeonhole them with an incorrect stereotype. I think the guitar solo sounds similar to Jerry Garcia's, but I'm neither a fan nor an expert. [ Reply ]

If you're to type of person that buys albums to hear great recording artists or goes to shows to hear the best musicians than Phish would never have appealed to you. Back in 1990, early June, a quartet of shaggy mates from Vermont arrived at my beucolic boarding school along the Connecticut River to play a show for a bunch of preppies on a Saturday afternoon. They brought their little trampolines and a handful of hippy followers selling t-shirts. About 150 of us in the audience danced our asses off for nearly 4 hours. Trey would stop on occasion to talk to us about music and life. The band invited us on the low-rent risers we had erected for a stage and let us strum a few chords or take turns "bouncing 'round the room." When it was all over we had a memory that would stay with us forever. Do I think the music of Phish is on par with the best acts of the 90s? Hell no. But their demeanor and generocity of spirit is what made me a fan of their music and everything else they stood for. Years later I cought one of their New Years eve shows in Madison Square Garden. I had a good time. It wasn't like before, but the connetion their fans had to the music was nearly the same. I hope that explains a little of their popularity to the sceptics. [ Reply ]

terrapin52 Nov 25, 2011 - 21:48	I was never a phish fan. They can jam, but it was done better by better bands like the Dead. They basically suck. [ Reply ]

The Phish songs I've heard reminded me of low-energy, bland versions of forgettable B-sides by the Bare Naked Ladies and/or Blues Traveler. The Phish singer is boring as hell. (John Popper, may you never touch a harmonica with any part of your body again). LOL! And I totally agree. . . [ Reply ]
