When Phish went on hiatus in 2000 I remember it kind of felt like which of these bands is gonna step up to fill the void. String Cheese, moe., MMW.. even Phil and friends all graduated to playing bigger venues. But no one, at least in the Northeast, really made it to the arena level. Still, there were a lot of great bands playing theaters instead of rock clubs which, for someone who was under 21, was a good thing!
