Who is the one who went to jail? Why? Was it Trey? Or Mike idk. I saw Phish in 1992 in the New Brunswick State Theater. Amazing!!!! Thoses were the dayz.

I just don't get the whole Jam Band thing. Greatfull dead, wide spread panic, pisch they just don't hold my attention, I guess you need to play to appreciate it although with my recent foray into Jazz I'm getting better but i still am a lyric / singer music driven listener.

different strokes for different folks.
Mike's bass playing and jamming gets me off like almost nothing else.
Trey was they one that went to jail for opiate possession.  His addiction was a major factor in the break up of Phish.  Hopefully that monkey is off his back.  I am looking forward to the reunion.  I have lots of friends in the industry and they have told me that the Phish organization is recruiting the crew for summer 09.
Either way Mike's solo stuff is amazing imho

I hear you about the different strokes, I'm sure some of the stuff i listen to some people wouldn't even consider music or bad music at that. One of the guys i work with is a drummer and a huge Phish, Wide Spread Panic fan. We have had this conversation many time wev'e traded cd's several times. I'll have to dig those cd's out and give them another listen

idk.. The Grateful Dead for instance.. their music encompasses jazz, blues, folk, traditional, experimental.. and goes through several other genres. There are strong jazz underpinnings going through most their music. Jam Bands are a bit free form, to me its really about a musical journey, kind of similar to classical music... you follow Jerrys gutar work, listen to the build, collapse, crescendo.. its intoxicating in itself. hehe.
Thats why I can appreciate the jam scene.

Mike Gordon and Leo Kottke playing Sweet Emotion from the album Sixty Six Steps is a fun version of that old song.  Not really jam band material, but I keep it on a lot of playlists.

66steps is a good album but I prefer Clone.

I would be surprised to see them start off with a full blown summer tour. All reports seem to say their interest is in spending time together again, just the four of them. I would think a small run of shows or possibly outside of the US might make for a better starting point and easier transition back into the complete madness. I have a hard time believing any of it would be good for Trey trying to remain sober

My buddy who is a supervisor at Bonnaroo, Rothbury and may be working for them said it would be a 3wk on 2wk off tour.
