The crowd is just oozing with stupidity. Someone earlier on said "they hate their fans." If I had fans who would hoot and wooh and clap the entire time that I was trying to convey something to them, I'd get pretty sick of them. Do they hate the fans? No, I highly doubt it. Are they sick to death of the fans general stupidity? I should hope so, considering something as ridiculous as this incident!
Wow this is awesome to see these guys on the stage together again. I cried when phish broke up. I miss them. When the do a reunion tour, (and they will) it is gonna be HUGE!
They changed the face of live music for the most part, the only other band to do so in such a HUGE way was the Grateful Dead. (also receieved a Lifetime Acheev award from Jammys)
They did more in their 17 years of exsistence then many bands did in a "lifetime".
They most certainly deserve an award for this IN the Jam Band scene. End of story.
Thanks for all the great comments, it was awesome to see them again. Classy thing to all show up, many have NOT done so at Jammys in the past.
I don't how much Phish actually did to 'change the face of music.' They pretty much did what the Dead did before them, just with a different sound. Then again, is anything REALLY new?
@sruckoldt dude they basically took over the jam scene and kept it alive after jerry garcia died. Also, if you listen to any jam music post phish you can hear so much influence from the band. Also, they were a band that came out of an era when 80s glam rock was popular and survived through the backstreet boys and spice girls. They kept music alive through its hardest years. They also have created music that can live up to the standards of great composers who weren't afraid to try new things.
I didn't even know there was a jammy's - how cute. Though I honestly don't think Phish stuck it out long enough to be receiving a "lifetime" achievement award.
For allmost 20 years is far more than any normal artist now a days. The normal bands "Lifetime" is about 6 months. I feel that Phish more than deserved this award and I am happy to say I was there to watch the entire thing.
By saying "nowadays," you're referring to bands that have obviously formed too recently to be talking about talking about their "lifetime." Maybe I shouldn't have limited it to how long the band is actually around, so much as to how long their impact endures (continued)...
...others who have received similar awards - Stones, Dylan, John Lennon, David Bowie - the impact of their 40 year old material can still be felt today (and will most likely still will be for many more decades - even centuries). It remains to be seen how much Phish's influence will be felt 50 years from now. If it is, perhaps I would think they'd be more deserving in 20 years.
you dont need to be old to have life expierence, coming from an "older" person, that wasnt such an intelligent response. Idc about what you say, phish defiantely deserved a lifetime achievment award...just because theyre music isnt 40 years old yet, doesnt mean they didnt achieve what a band would want to achieve in their "lifetime" and i think thats what this award is all about....4 guys from vermont who loved jamming kicked off were the dead stopped, and created their own breed...enough said
It's not over yet...as long as none of them kick the bucket, the word reunion is a sound every phishead knows they will hear. I got into the scene very late (1999), but they have completely affected my lifelong love affair with music. You say they haven't "stuck it out" long enough - should I mention Cream, Sublime, Nirvana. Whether by death or disbandment, their music lives on, So will that of Phish. Final note, Jammy's over Grammy's any day.
A band like Cream, as I said had lasting impact that is still going strong (though it's safe to say Clapton's solo career probably aided with that); The Doors, who were around for 4 years. The epitome would be Hendrix, I guess. And yes, I think a reunion is inevitable - if not this decade, then the next one. At some point the boys are going to have to replenish their bank accounts. Let's face it - Phish royalties can only amount to so much.
I was at Trattoria Dell'Arte (Italian place in midtown) today and this guy walks in & towards the table next to us. I said "wow, that looks like Trey". I look at the table he's walking towards & there is Mike, Page & Fishman sitting right next to us. I didn't want to interrupt them, but it was incredible sitting five feet away from a band that meant (and still means) so much to me. Checked and realized they got the Jammy award which explains why they were in NYC. Just needed to share
I know I'd rather hear Trey and what he's saying more than the audience. They could have waited for him to finish, even if Trey goes on and on...I love that Ginger Boy.
Shhhhhhhhhhh!

You're an idiot. They were together for 17 years. That's a long time by any standards
nativecheese 3 years ago
Given your 21 years, I can see how you'd think 17 is a long time. I love being called an idiot by someone with so little life experience.
