Phish in 2010

[boombox]

Small venues would be amazing, especially as they usually afford the audience a chance to interact with the band before, during and after. I\'m sure it would be just as much fun for them too, to go back to their roots, as it were.

When sci came over the first time, I remember all the Americans down the front with me raving about how great it was that we were so close to the band. (Personally, having Billy play a long meandering intro to Black Clouds, while resting on the monitor not 6\' away was a real musical \'high\'.) Even better when they all came out to chat and sign stuff too.

I just hope that the lure of the big $ doesn\'t make Phish say it\'s not worth coming over.

 if they want to play club shows, they will go. While money might be an issue, it shouldn\'t as they must have plenty to go around

So a break until summer according to Trey, eh?

[Spacey]

Guess so. Expect TAB to return this spring. Hopefully back to the Oakdale.

I\'ve heard mid-Feb dates kicking around... sources hold no credibility, but I figured I could pass on a rumor... Oakdale 2/13, NYC 2/14 & 2/15.  Guess we will just have to wait and see.  If there is any reality to those dates announcements would have to be soon I\'d imagine.  Also I find it ridiculous how some peeps on the PT board are calling this another "hiatus"  and that it\'s gonna be Phish 4.0...blah blah.  Their summer tours can start at the end of April and go through September and all of that is considered their summer tour.  Not that it will be that extensive but I\'m just sayin is all... It\'s really not that far away.  Some people gotta give it a rest and enjoy what\'s to come.  Don\'t get me wrong though, I do NOT spend much time on the PT boards at all, I actually find them quite boring and really annoying... there\'s definitely a lot more interesting & relevant topics on this board to meaningfully waste time.

BTW... 4 piece TAB vs. 8, 9, or 10 piece vs. 70 Volt parade type of line up??? Thoughts, predictions anyone?

My favorite was the 2001/early 2002 lineup.   Not sure what the arrangement was though.

2001 Line Up - The Octet
Trey Anastasio – guitar
Dave Grippo – Alto Saxophone
Jen Hartswick – trumpet, tuba, vocals
Russ Lawton – drums
Tony Markellis – bass
Andy Moroz - Trombone
Ray Paczkowski – keyboards
Russell Remington - tenor saxophone, flute

2002 Line Up - The Dectet
Trey Anastasio - guitar
Peter Apfelbaum - Baritone Saxophone, percussion
Cyro Baptista - percussion
Dave Grippo - Alto Saxophone
Jen Hartswick - trumpet, tuba, vocals
Russ Lawton - drums
Tony Markellis - bass
Andy Moroz - Trombone
Ray Paczkowski - keyboards
Russell Remington - Tenor Saxophone, flute

I preferred 2002 much more with the addition of Cyro... as random as his sounds are he added a depth to them that when you listen back to 2001 is clearly evident.  Of course that could just be the percussionist in me....

This is kinda random, but was wondering if anyone else picked up on the tease of "The Late and the Great" in the 12/31/09 Steep jam? It starts at 2:54 on the LivePhish version. Trey teases the "jam" they do normally around 5 and a half minutes into the song, after the "A gift to you this melody I play" line. It\'s pretty sick!

That\'s crazy because it\'s like a variation of the background vocal melody of Steep ("rivers that we roooaaad..."), but almost identical to TL&TG.. Page actually starts it at the 2:00 mark, and his piano line is even more direct throughout that whole sequence. Very cool! TB should sue them!
