Everybody knows Phish was an underachieving band.  As for Al and the Transamericans, they are clearly the worst band to ever play a gig in the history of the universe.  It surprised me considering all the members, especially Al, are so talented and such great players.  But the Transamericans were basically a shitty blues/ folk derivative band, with no jamming whatsoever, and endless crappy folk lyrical slow songs and ballads.



Yeah staying together for 20+ years, being signed by a major label, reinventing the music festival (influencing the folks that began Bonnaroo) and oh yeah they were the ONLY band that was able to "carry the torch" as it were when GD stopped playing IS pretty damn underacheiving alright.

As for the Transamericans nvr heard \'em.

underachieving in a business sense and underachieving in a musical sense are two TOTALLY different ballgames and you know this leith, so dont pull that crap.

Yeah OK whatever. If they were underacheiving musically why did 10\'s of thousands still show up after 1994? Because they were the best band around. Writing Junta, Lawn Boy, Picture of Nectar, Rift, and then Hoist is underacheiving musically how? As for AFTER 1994 Billy Breathes, Story of the Ghost AND Farmhouse are all excellent albums.
Somehow I just do not see how Trey or the rest of the band could be even close to underacheiving.
Now if you want to talk about post Phish Trey underacheiving I would say you had a decent argument.

Oh and if Page had left Phish and they continued how many of you would have still called them Phish if they kept the name? Be truthful.

I\'d called them the trio or Phish three.

1. How\'d this become the bitch about Phish thread?

2. How confusing would it be if a band changed it\'s name everytime the lineup changed?  Grateful Dead? RHCP?

3. This is a moot point b/c they found their new 4th last night.  
She\'s not a keyboard player... more of a vocalist/skanky dancer...

I truely believe the band would excel with a skanky stage dancer. I thought the stipping monkey would have been a great addition.

trey was pretty good when he had his Trey Anatasio (sp) band. Saw them a few times they were great but I am no musical genus but in my mind his musical compositions didn\'t seem to be that extravagant

1. What? R U new? This IS .info yo.

2. I agree but it seems to me they are going full force to make the trio work and I highly doubt a keyboard player is of real importance to them no matter what is written in print about finding another one. I think they really need to promote the band as a 3 piece to help differentiate between when they had Keys and now. Just my opinion.

3. LOL
