I remember going on a special road trip from Maine to Burlington Vermont in the early 90's just to check out Nectar's. I had to see where it all started and of course eat the best french fries and gravy this side of France!!! Never saw Phish there but it's a pretty sweet place!

There really is no one like Phish. Their music has made me happy for almost 30 years now and they're still my go-to band. Trey recently said he hopes they're still performing at age 90. I hope so too.

I love you boys so much! Even more than I did 25 years ago this month when I seen you live for the first time! Thank you for continuing to EVOLVE your music and for being so aware of your audience. There have been some dark times in my life when your music was truly the only thing that gave me JOY and gave me the sliver of hope to keep my head up. Thank you always and I’m so grateful i got to be alive the same time as the best band I’ve ever heard. See y’all in a few weeks in St Louis!!!!!

theyve aged so well. theyve been through almost all the bad shit a band can go through, but they weathered it all

[@kevinkravcak-thethreepilla9749]

Bravo young lads, what a great tune, the most talented band on the planet. I remember seeing them maybe in Philly or at the Garden in NY and they all kept switching instruments with each other all night, literally each played drums, piano, bass, guitar...to this day still the most incredible thing I've ever seen a band do live. just a big ball of fun

[@meganmccormick998]

Phish is 🔥 thank you Trey, Mikey, Page & Fish 🎶♾️🎶

[@lonewolf1843]

A buddy of mine was a huge PHISH fan back when nobody knew who they were. He had bootleg tapes of their shows he'd play me and really only cared about their live recordings. When "Down with Disease" hit the radio and ushered in a wider audience including myself, it grinded his gears. He was irritated when people would mostly be into their studio recordings, when they were one of the best live bands on the planet. I went out and bought every studio album they had released up to that point! I would say things like "Man, these guys rock! If only they could translate what they do on their albums onto a live stage! I mean they're a good live band don't get me wrong, but they only really truly shine on their studio albums!" God that would piss him off!

[@azurewhale4329]

He was right lol

[@nathanfisher3813]

I like both but their long live jams are the best.

[@barber5937]

lmao yeah you knew how to get under his skin it sounds like

[@kale_phresch_]

If it means anything to you, Trey himself said that he views the studio versions as just another version of the song just like how every live performance is a different version.

[@MrPhishman79]

They are the best band for so many reasons. Personally, I think music should be an adventure into uncharted waters and Phish simply does this with so much grace. Go to a show and see them live, you won't be disappointed.

[@brotherinthepool8149]

It's been 34 years since my first Phish show. I love seeing them continue to write and enjoy playing music together.

[@Japanbeertimes]

We saw Phish play at Drum Logos in Fukuoka, Japan way back in 2000. They sounded good but looked really ragged and we weren't surprised when shortly thereafter they announced a 'hiatus'. It's so great to see Trey cleaned up and the band both looking and sounding better 25 years later. Hopefully, they have another couple of decades ahead of them! "First came the light, then came the sound..."

@@TopDogDankSmoker Ah I see. So I wonder who you are listening to who is so great. Curious what bands you are seeing where people in their 50's and 60's are dancing next to kinds in their 20's. I can think of a handful ... mostly in the Jam-band scene. Fact is the masses consume some sh#ty music these days, most unaware of who they are even listening too because they just turn on stations using Spotify. Rick Beato puts it right.

[@BAM5636]

I love reading negative comments about great music.

[@justingroff3682]

Me too because the music is great, but the lyrics are shit, especially in evolve and life, boy and friends and bug. All lies from Trey, not half of what I say are lies…. 100% of what he is saying is lies in those songs. Oh I forgot everything’s right because it’s not on planet Earth. I forgot that we all were supposed to let things all evolve when it really means adapt to their environment like on the Galapagos when a disillusion pastor who couldn’t make the seminary, Darwin made origin of species a book of lies that Trey loves but I know it’s all lies So when finches turn into finches with longer beaks, that is now X-Men nice to know, Trey, you fool
