Don't judge people, judge yourself. Been living that way my whole life, glad to know that Trey feels the same way.

[@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.

[@JS-nd6yj]

​@@TopDogDankSmoker that's what I was thinking the Joe Biden loving gatekeepers from Phantasy Tour and .Net do a great job scaring away any new possible fans.

[@rolansereny7565]

@@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]

@TopDogDankSmoker Every great band has been releasing new music for 40 years? Ah, no, that isn't true at all. Most bands, even great ones, don't even stay together for 40 plus years. Much less release much new material.

[@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..."
