The next big touring jamband, will it ever happen?

One of my biggest fears is that I will never expierence what my sister did. Because of my age, parents, money... I only made it to 7 phish shows. I love Phish and listen to them all the time. I have about 250 discs of Phish. My sister (whom im very very close to) went to alot of shows and had the time of her life. Im worried that their wont be any band like that. Its so frustrating to learn the culture of a band and have them depart after only a expierenceing a couple shows. Its like when you want somthing for a really long time, like a type of food or a new bike, then you get it and your parents take it away. Damn, im wearing a phish T right now. I get sad all the time thinking about Phish. I really hope theres a big touring jamband that I get to see and follow.

 

Well... I've never been on my favorite band's concert... Not in this life. I was born 17 years after they had made their last album.

 

yea, i do myself a disservice by loving classic rock. led zeppelin broke up 25 years ago, and hendrix has been dead for 35. half of the who is dead, and black sabbath isn't coming back together anytime soon. i really don't want to listen to modern day stuff.

i did see robert plant in vegas 2 weeks ago, but that's it.

 

I think Umphreys has a shot and Mule is quite awesome and has a good following. moe. should be "bigger" then they are, Ratdog has a big following, but on the scale of Phish, I don't know if anyone will rival that type of mass devotion, I hope so!

 

Yes, I think Umphrey's McGee has the talent to go quite far, but keep in mind it took many, many years for Phish to build their popularity.

And I'm optimistic Phish will be back in some form, someday, whatever they might say now.

 

Hey, man, I havn't been to a SINGLE Phish show, and there's no way in hell I could afford to go to more then a few anyway. Consider yourself LUCKY for going to seven shows.

 

I saw string cheese incident and lemme tell you, they have the talent to equal phish..maybe surpass them..but who knows. and yah, umphreys mcgee too.

there will ALWAYS be jam bands...you just have to shift through the fodder and all the commercial junk a little harder as the years pass. I exert more energy each year finding good music. remember some of the best music is underground or under rated or obscure. you just need to find it and spread the word.

 

it's good that we embrace change with positivity and hope!

 

I know that it isnt good to see a band based on the audience, becuase thats were the phish scene went downhill. alot of people went because of the drugs. but what im looking for is more than music. of course i would have to enjoy the music to follow a band. But I love the atmosphere, the cultre, the good vibes...i enjoy more than just music at a show.

 

youll be tired of phish in a month anyway

 

fuck that, Phish is one of the greatest bands ever.....and the dude who wants another big band, phish will be back on tour by 2010 at latest.....its gonna be sick.......i love phish. my favorite band.....and i just know they are coming back......

 

What the fuck are you talking about?

 

i only saw phish once , i really like moe. and string. hopefully they will gather a followin like phish.

 

have you ever listened to them!?! Some people may think they are overrated but still they are one of the best bands of our time.
