little does anyone know but they made there name by takeing the "phi" from phil and "sh" from lesh ultimately makign the word phish :D

[slizzo7447]

Worden26, little does anyone know that because it is absolutely not true, Trey has said on film that the name comes from Fishman's nickname of 'Fish.' He says something like, "if I was at a Phish show I'd be watching Fish."

[ErrandWolfe91]

is that CK5? i heard hes not touring with them??

[slizzo7447]

Actually I've been trying to figure this out myself... I know he did the Hampton shows, I was pretty sure this was his work too, but someone else also mentioned him not being with them anymore so I'm not sure. Anyone shed some light?

[Hipster420]

I have to agree...the Dead (seen em 87 times) and Phish (seeing em for my first time in Oct, Phish 8 wooot!) DO have similar jams...Phish sounds a bit more jazz influenced where the Dead is more blugrassy ..maybe??...BUT the important thing is the type of energy they and the crowd produce...happy,fun,dancing,ca­refree bliss...When it all came together there really was nothing like a Dead show..I'm really hoping Phish's shows have that same energy ;- )

CK5!!!!

Trey made sure he didn't mess up the beginning :). Love this song.

@Worden26, In: Phish the Biography (Parke Puterbaugh, 2010) the band confesses the name came from the sound of a snare roll or an airplane taking off, or phhhssssshhhh. But Phish was an easier way to spell it. It also had the nice links to Fishman and Phil Lesh to confuse people.

I like to listen to this song.

[shackdaddy195]

@Worden26 thats a good conspiracy, and for all we fans know, it could be right. but...i have read a couple books and have 6 dvds now of phish...and ide say it came from the nickname of fishman. it makes alot more sense. i dont think they got as into their name as Jim Morrison got into Mr Mojo Risin (he used the same letters of his name) prolly on another plain of thought

[arfletch75]

I love it when bands do requests even when the song requested is one they've never played before. BRAVO

[somedudecro]

@somedudecro though they are my favorite band, was just a joke... go go go phish and phishheads

[somedudecro]

or they took their name from philo in philosophy and the sh in chit

[triple8dope0fresh3]

you are correct my sir, but i think worden26 was just joking.

Big Dead Head, and long time PHISH phan.

PHISH is super on point: saw Red Rocks, Festie 8,Philly,Albany,MSG

Me and Mama are from Vegas and flew for EastCoast PHISH tour with NO regrets what so EVER: They really NEVER cease to AMAZE and SUPRISE me

Also saw FURTHER in Oakland and ALSO had a really GREAT f*cking time with FAMILY and I must add they rocked the FOX, I mean we OWNED that joint 4 sure.

There should be NO debate as both ROCK and BOTH are worth going to see!!!!
