If you want to be technical about it, every single jamband today is riding Phish\'s coattails. Even if they don\'t sound anything like Phish. If Phish didn\'t make it, it is possible that almost none of this would be here.
I think The Breakfast often recreates Phish show atmospheres from 1986-1990. I like that.
DSO....they\'re good at what they do. And I can see why they do it. If you love the music you\'re covering, and are good enough at playing it to get paid, and you can draw enough people to it to live a phatty tour life, why not? I prefer being in original bands but I could see myself having a lot of fun in a Greyboy, Herbie Hancock, or Fela Kuti cover band if the jams were good and people were into it. DSO is alright by me. Let\'s just hope the Breakfast buries them in December!
