Members Alexbiscuit Posted June 2, 2010 Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 if you have 8 minutes watch from the beginning because it's worth it, but if you're impatient start at 5mins [YOUTUBE]YdPKJCje0AU[/YOUTUBE] tasteful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BG76 Posted June 2, 2010 Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 I watched the first three minutes. I just don't get jam bands. To me, it's boring. I'm sure the guy is a great player. Maybe if I were blown out of my mind on drugs I would think it was more interesting. In 10 minutes The Ramones could play about 6 songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love the Allman Bros, Gov't Mule, and Widespread Panic though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alexbiscuit Posted June 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 haha i'll clarify. watching the first 5 minutes makes from 5:00-8:00 even better, but you can just start at 5:00 and skip to the climax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love other Jam bands but for some reason Phish doesn't do it for me. Trey's more overdriven tone turns me off, maybe that's why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members V-Type Posted June 2, 2010 Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 He is a Great player and like at the 5 min mark shows exactly how Good he can be.However much of the Phish material does not incorporate enough of this in their Jams imo.I like him but bore quickly when he isnt going off.

Members Cymro#1 Posted June 2, 2010 Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 Sorry ....that didn't do anything for me. Then I'm not that much into prog/jazz/fusion stuff. Sure he's good but not my cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he's good but not my cup of tea. That's probably it right there. Trey is pretty far removed from the country blues Jam stuff I like; greatful dead, country Joe, Allman Bros, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alexbiscuit Posted June 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 really the only reason i made this thread is because i generally hear a lot of negative opinion about his playing... and then i see a video like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one helluva player, I just don't dig the style. I didn't think his skill was ever suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 23miles Posted June 2, 2010 Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 Same here. I love other Jam bands but for some reason Phish doesn't do it for me. This^I love the Dead, Allmans, Wide Spread Panic, Dark Star Orchestra, and many other "Jam Bands." I just never "got" Phish. It sometimes amazes me that such great players like the guys in Phish can come together and create such forgettable music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alexbiscuit Posted June 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 the composed songs you can play every night to death aren't the point, it's the group improvisation that is fresh and in the moment every time. being stoned helps too.

Members Lobsterbush Posted June 2, 2010 Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 Love it. Please don't change my mind about Trey, I don't want to have to sell all of tickets to the southern run of the tour. Phish are what they are and either people are into it or they are not. Usually no grey area to be found. At least nobody is bashing them like you usually have to hear when you disclose your a phan.

Members BryanMichael Posted June 2, 2010 Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 I liked the last bit- I think for me, I like SONGS and this would be cool if it were the climax to an actual SONG instead of a free-form jazz exploration in front of a festival crowd.

Members ItchyFingers Posted June 2, 2010 Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 I'm with Lobster, don't change my mind about Trey! I am kinda shocked to hear so much love for 3 minute cookie cutter songs. Alex, maybe you need to post some of the White Album set they played that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jelloman Posted June 2, 2010 Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 hey...I'm all for liking who ever you want...and if you're into trey then jam on...but really, I started it at 5:00 and let it play to the end and was not moved...sure he's a good technical player, but I always feel like I'm watching someone work out a calculus equation when he plays...solved for x...

Members etawful Posted June 2, 2010 Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 I'm gonna have to go with those that say they love the Dead, Allmans, DSO, etc. but just don't quite get Phish. I mean . . . they do some okay stuff, and I've heard quite a few things they did I liked, but having seen them live a few times, I left underwhelmed every time. They're all excellent musicians in my opinion, but I just don't dig their stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members acousticDave Posted June 3, 2010 Members Share Posted June 3, 2010 great band, fantastic guitar player, even better song writer. the tuff part of phish is that if you're not familiar with the songs, you can't appreciate the improvisation and it all sounds like mush to untrained ears. also, they're not big on lyrics, it's more about the jamming, so the shoe gazing crowd easily loses interest.
