I will say that Trey Anastasio is a brilliant musician, and it's great that he has cleaned up. I know Phish isn't for everyone, but they are awesome live. I think a lot of people judge without ever really listening to an album. "Story of the Ghost" is a cool listen.
My list of personal favorites...
KISS - Alive!
KISS - Alive 2
Queen- Live At the Rainbow '74
ACDC - If You Want Blood (You Got It)
ACDC - Live (the deluxe 2-CD version)
Joe Bonamassa - Live At the Royal Albert Hall
Iced Earth- Alive In Athens
Iron Maiden - Live After Death
Rush - Exit...Stage Left
Rush - All The World's a Stage
Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive
Cheap Trick - Live At Boudakan
Foghat - Foghat Live
Think Lizzy - Live and Dangerous
Ted Nugent - Double Live Gonzo
Lynyrd Skynyrd - One More From The Road
Alice In Chains - Unplugged
We got tickets for Oak Mountain and the second night at the Ascend. Thinking about getting 2-day tickets for ATL and doing a mini run. Probably more to do with my age than love of Phish, but I can go to any of their shows in the Southeast and see friends. Same with Panic. One thing I'd encourage younger people to do is to find an "old people's band" that you can halfway stand and go to a few shows so you can experience being among the younger people in the house. My wife and I latched on to the Moody Blues a few years back after going to the Moody Bluegrass show at the Ryman as bluegrass fans who knew very little about the Moodys. Probably went to a dozen of their shows over the next several years. It was a unique perspective and really gave me joy to see people as old as I hope to be some day coming together and getting down.I will say that Trey Anastasio is a brilliant musician, and it's great that he has cleaned up.

Look at most artists selling millions today. Many are under average from a skills standpoint, especially singing voices. Sales does not correspond to actual talent and yes, I agree they don’t care what you or I think but is still a factual statement.
I'm sure as they count their millions and play in packed arenas, they are extremely concerned about the opinions of random internet jockeys.
One that we all already know. I just dont understand why people feel the need to constantly make it a point to say anything. I enjoy their music despite their limited musical skill.Look at most artists selling millions today. Many are under average from a skills standpoint, especially singing voices.

I had made a point later backing off from my original post so I do not understand why you felt the need to respond to my original post so there you go.One that we all already know.

You should watch the video of Trey playing with Herbie Hancock. He puts trey in his place.I will say that Trey Anastasio is a brilliant musician, and it's great that he has cleaned up.
