15 de ago. de 2011 · Two key causes of this difference are the Dead's average lack of chops,[*] and Phish's early emotionally-withdrawn nerdiness - which respectively pushed the Dead toward expansive Free material and pushed Phish toward hermetically-sealed structures and musical comedy.
22 de fev. de 2018 · On the surface, Phish and the Grateful Dead draw comparisons, but one writer posits that their fundamental difference is how they approach letting their fans into their inside jokes.
Phish were often compared to the Grateful Dead during the 1990s, a comparison that the band members often resisted or distanced themselves from. The two bands were compared due to their emphasis on live performances, improvisational jamming style, musical similarities, and traveling fanbase.

I met question-asker and fellow Phish middle person Ethan Weinstein outside his home in South Woodstock. Ethan is the first to admit he has a lot of catching up to do when it comes to Phish. You know, considering his first exposure to the band was through chocolate ice cream and gooey marshmallow swirls. “I think I first became conscious of Phish t...
OK. So far I’ve learned that part of why people like Phish are these goofy lyrics that spread joy. Also the idea of a “gamified fandom.” The sports team stuff. But then we got a call that started to shed light on something much more akin to “professional fandom.” Hi, my name is Christina Allaback and I live in Roseburg, Oregon where I'm a theater p...
“Their origins in Vermont are about pushing the envelope about being music nerds,” says Leslie Mac, a digital strategist, community organizer, and co-host of Blackberry Jams, a podcast presented by none other than Ben and Jerry’s — about how jam band culture and Black liberation work intersect. (VPR also has support from Ben and Jerry’s, as well as...
“Phish is kind of divided into 1.0, 2.0, 3.0. And then there's like an argument whether or not we're in 4.0,” says Chryss Allaback. Of course, die-hard fans debate the specifics, but the best I can tell is this: Phish 1.0 was by far the longest era, spanning from the band’s formation in the 1980s all the way through the summer of 2000. Then they we...
“I feel like there is this hope in this band working together to improvise,” says Chryss Allaback. “It's not like we sit in the audience and then we watch a show. There is an energy that we give to them. And there's an energy that they give to us. It's the only band I've gone to that I feel like they know me. That seems so kind of ridiculous now th...
The answer has a lot to do with one downtown Burlington bar: Nectar’s. “At the beginning, I thought they would go somewhere, but not that big,” says founder Nectar Rorris. Nectar is in his eighties now, and when I called to request an interview, he didn’t jump at the opportunity to reminisce. But I asked him to try. Because Nectar Rorris is a prett...
I also think part of Phish’s standing in Vermont culture has to do with what happened once they outgrew the state — or, at least, the little bars in Burlington. In the 1990s, Phish’s star was rising — quickly. But it wasn’t because they had a hit single or endless radio play. Instead, Phish took the same principles of grassroots community-building ...
I’ve spoken to way more people about Phish in the last few months than I ever have, and probably ever will. But I have to say: While all I set out to do was answer Ethan’s question, I’ve definitely developed a real appreciation for what Phish provides for so many people. Going into this, my best guess as to why people like Phish? The drugs. And, ye...

14 de mai. de 2015 · Grateful Dead called the weird little miniature cities that seemed to spontaneously evolve near their concerts “Shakedown Street.” Phish fans call it “The Lot.”
18 de jan. de 2019 · Phish, obviously, is still a very robust working concern; the Grateful Dead not so much. For the sake of convenience, the past tense will be occasionally employed but is not intended in any way to ignore the ongoing, and quite intense, creative evolution of Phish.
