re: Official Phish 2015 Summer Tour thread | Phish is back! |

Heady, I was criticized by someone in the "official" thread for being "that guy" when I stated that the band playing will be The Dead with guest musicians, and not The Grateful Dead. That band ceased to exist in August of 1995. The poster who criticized me has seen a total of "0" GD shows (he isn't old enough to have seen them)--I have logged over 85 of them from '87-'95.....FWIW. But what do I know, right?

Now, to answer your question...I will not be in Chicago. My current feelings on this, it seems almost like a "forced" gods of jam supergroup. I'm not criticisizing it, it just really doesn't interest me (at least not enough to take time off work, and travel, hotels, etc.). I like to remember the GD shows with Uncle Jerry driving the ship the way I saw them. To me, that was The Grateful Dead.

And I like Trey and The Fish in their own environment for what they are and do.

Remember, I've got a few years on some of you guys and sometimes view things in a different manner (been there, done that sort of thing).

Also, I already had a trip to Jackson, WY booked for the long July 4th week. I imagine I will catch it live on a stream at a bar somewhere in downtown Jackson, WY.

Enjoy it man...
