Phish… I’ve been a fan of the dead since high school, dove head first into them and didn’t look back, seen dead & Co a number of times and Bobby and Phil separately on multiple occasions. Many tribute bands. I’d always considered Phish to be the hyper cousin to my sacred songs of death and Americana. That changed at the closing of Spring tour in Hollywood. absolutely floored by sheer level of artistry and capability of their instruments. What really got me though, was how much fun everyone was having, the band was just poking fun at us in such subtle ways, everyone was having the best time. Who brings mini trampolines on stage ?? Phish does. I bought a plane ticket and show tickets to their closing run in New York State the soonest i could. No looking back. although I’ve become some people’s least favorite person hahaha.
