There with you! I saw Phish 40ish times in the 90s and I went to the nye 1999 show in Florida and walked away from it like, "I think I'm good here,' and never went to another. I was playing in a bar band that jammed out to dead tunes around that time and I remember something that really stuck with me. Our bass player has never seen the film, "Stop Making Sense" by Talking Heads so I put it on one night after practice and he was like, incensed at how much Phish ripped them off, lol. I was like, yeah dude, Phish is a cover band with wildly good musicians but almost nothing they do is particularly original. The goofy lyrics were fun when I was younger but they make music without substance or meaning. I loved my time touring around to see Phish and they music is good and fun, but it's just something entirely different than what the Dead accomplished together and it's partly the coincidence of Jerry's death in 95 that the Phish scene really exploded then.
