scootilybootily obviously never saw the Grateful Dead because these two bands have nothing in common but the fact that they both improvise live. Phish is a truly solid band but nothing, not Phish or anyone else, no story, no band, can touch the mystique, both real and imagined, of the Grateful Dead. Enjoy Phish Fans but lets not get too crazy because Phish is not even close to Jehovahs favorite choir.
the only thing Phish and the Dead had in common was they improvised and played alot of shows(to put it in a basic way), their music was completely different, completely different feel
I am not surprised that CNN is not even competent enough to label the seven tunes they play accurately. Anyone with the iTunes program can tell for free that they are playing Tweezer Reprise and not Tweezer.
The songs are not even in the same key. CNN screws up the real like that too.
"How is your music different than the Grateful Dead?" Do you have ears?
Fishman is the only guy I know who has said he used to take acid at the crack of dawn to go back to sleep! Seriously that is hardcore- and I've taken hallucinogens hundreds of times for extended periods. Even the members of the Dead had trouble sleeping on acid (when they manufactured it).
Nice! She could apply that to any of their albums. A Lawn factor(olfactory hues), a Nectar factar(penile erector), rift phactor(obvious)!! Except for Junta and Hoist factors, those are way more abstract! lol

It's funny how they only show them playing covers and Fishman's talking about how they didn't want to be a cover band. lol

To me there is no difference between the Grateful Dead and Phish, I look at them as the same band, I call the Phateful Dish.

You're obviously not that bright. The scene is similar, but the music is VERY different.

Phish will forever be stigmatized by the GD comparison. It's unavoidable at this point. The one is to heavily associated with the other.
