Would you still love me.....

[hesthemamba]

2009?  :| maybe.. 2010? definitely.   :rawk:

[thatfargone]

No clue.

I am a different person now, impossible to say.

[WhatstheUse?]

As far as live experiences go, the worst Phish show I've ever seen absolutely crushes the best shows I've seen by any other bands.

So..... fuck yes.

[ytowndan]

No.

Hmmm on second thought, I see no flaw in this logic.

[Multibeast12]

I say yeah. I'm closer to that point of when i first heard Phish.

[Play_It_Leo]

Yes for me also.

If I heard ANY of Phish's live or studio albums for the first time today I would get into them. Even, if you were asking me to base my decision on Phish Live 2009/2010 and Joy being the only album that they have released I'd still be a fan. There is just a vibe, feeling that gets translated through the music that I like and I haven't found another band that can do that for me.

This. Well put.

Yeah I really like the way you put this too fuzzy.  Mainly why this is the only "jam band" I can stand.  Actually some of the only rock I listen to also.

ill go with like, not love

[PIE-GUY]

No doubt in my mind. Here's the thing. I go to see music that makes me dance. I can't get the full spiritual release I need on a regular basis if I don't have opportunities to dance every now and then. That's what leads me to phish, new orleans funk, the dead, whatever. Radiohead is great, but their shows are a bunch of people standing around watching. It just doesn't move me.

Now phish playing a perfectly average NICU makes me dance like a kid again. So, yes. I would dig it either way.

[birdman]

Probably not. But I have no problem with that. I got into Phish at a specific point in life, and it made a huge and lasting impression. I'm not sure any band could do that in 2009. I'll be honest - I'm pretty much through with the jamband scene these days. Not that there aren't good young bands out there ripping it up - I'm sure there are. That's just the way it is. You only go around the merry-go-round once, and it only goes in one direction.

$.02

My feelings exactly.

especially if it was all new!! are you kidding... for Phish to be new and fresh, and to not have been spoiled by Phish in the 90's... This is a no brainer... I can't find any other band today that can hold my interest for the length of a full album, much less fifteen + years... 10 years off their game and twenty years later Phish are still the best F'n band on the face of the earth, even with the infamous whale call...

[mbw]

did somebody say whale call?

Right on.

[DI]

Yes, I started listening to Phish after the breakup and I never really listened to anything past the 90s. When I went to the Gorge (2nd night only, I still can't believe I missed the first...) it was by far the best concert I've ever been to. Lots of energy, great people, great music.
