StoneMtn Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I found this on the board at upstreamentertainment.com. I have no idea how valid it is..."The band is trying to work out the details of the return. Most people with some sort of connection with start finding this info out within the next few weeks or so. There might even be an official announcement by Spring letting the fans know that the band will return later this year. Basically, the band knew all along this would only be a break to clear the issues within the organization, start fresh, get sober, explore other projects etc..but made it seem as if the band was done for good just incase those issues could not be resolved. No one, not even the band knew for sure what would happen after the breakup. I wouldnt get too excited because for the most part they will only be doing a summer tour each year with a standard NYE run and possible brief run of shows each fall/winter. This model of touring is Coran Capshaw's design for DMB (touring extensively in the summer and taking the time in between off..minus a few shows in the winter). Due to the contract Trey is involved in and by the bands choice, Coran will be running the show from now on along with some of the familiar faces of Dionysian Productions. I'd say that only 15-20 people from the old crew/staff will be part of Phish v2.0. The boys want to return but are making sure that everything is in order before doing anything and a big part of that was sacrificing alot of the old friends that worked for them in hopes of filtering out the problems that arose post 1998. They really are only keeping the faces that were around pre 1992..basically the core group. In terms of the comeback show, they are trying to work out a late October short run of shows as well as a NYE run and then staying low key until Summer of 2007. Until then, fans can expect Trey to play a short oysterhead tour as well as a very short run of shows (as in less than 5) with 70VP this summer at some festivals. The band for the most part will be together all summer practicing and writing new material because they want to come back fresh and regenerated. Things will be different, but they will be back. They really wanted to tear down every wall surrounding them and start fresh as if it were Day 1 again. The band will play their old songs, but at least half of the phish songs will never be played again. My source who has spoken with Trey many times about the whole issue said that Trey refuses to sing/play any songs that remind him of certain years from phishs career or that remind him of the bands old childish ways. The band wants to come back in a very serious manner and will do away with the pranks/theatrics and other childish things that would occur on phishs stage."

Velvet Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 "Phish v2.0"I'd say we're on v3.0 at least.Plus, who cares? That is, I care if they're gonna be playing again 'cuz I'll likely get rooked into going to a show or two, but who cares about the incessent Phish Is Returning rumours? I'll care about the Phish Is Returning announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YearsAlongTheSea Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and wait for something official.And then I'm going to wait for them to practice.Then I'll be ready to consider seeing them again.Until then, why buy the hype?Phil didn't come out and play Shakedown St. at the last Hampton.Gamehendge wasn't played at the millenium.And, they have yet to play my back yard.So, pardon my french but... fuck the rumors.Focus on what you have.

"Do away with the pranks/theatrics"? Bullshit. If Phish v3.0 or whatever is Phish v1.0 minus humour, I won't be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I know, I know. We've heard it all before, and it's getting redundant and boring.Frankly, I hardly care. If they're back, I'll see them if they come nearby, but I won't travel any further to see them than I'd travel to see New Monsoon, The Codetalkers, or any of my other favourite jambands.They're just one more band.

boiler Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) I think Phish has almost as much crap as they do brilliant stuff, but if they are truly able to get back what they once had before everything got f'ed, than all power to them. They could be just like Aerosmith Edited March 7, 2006 by Guest I mean aerosmith 2.0b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 The wook factor will be off the scale if and when this happens. Oh well, as long as they get their shit together and practice that's all that really matters to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
