Listening to Phish after 5 years of not listening to any of their stuff...

[Taverner]

Or any Jam Band for that matter.

Jam bands had become boring, and uninventive.

And everything Phish could have done in concert, they did.

So on this day, five years later, I pop on Hoist.

It was a good album.

1. Went to their comcert in Charlie Town last weekend

I must say that I don't think I've ever been around that much open and obvious smoking of the bud in my life.

:hi:

2. I know hoist didn't get a lot of love from fans, but

it was the studio album of theirs that found it's way most often into my player.

But I too drifted away from jam bands, I'm not sure why. In the case of Phish I am pretty sure I was just disappointed too often in their live shows--the frst few I saw were extremely hjigh energy with a lot of frenetic parts (back in the "Picture of Nectar" tour) but they seemed to get progressively mellower, and frankly more boring as the years went by.

When I stopped going to live shows by jams bands regularly, I guess I just drifted away from the scene.
