Most everyone who loves/loved Phish is familiar with the comments of both Trey and Tom. The comments clearly show that Trey would love to get the band back together. My feelings on this... not so much. While I still love Phish (but admittedly not nearly as much as when they were touring) I'm pretty sure most people will agree that the creativity of the band took a huge drop after the 'hiatus' and convinced many 'phishheads' to turn away from the band. At the time I thought that these people were crazy. Although the quality of the music had taken a noticeable downturn... It was still Phish! Today, I completely understand where the ones who abandoned Phish after the hiatus were coming from. Why do I want to see a band that I have seen so many times? And when I can be almost gurenteed that the experience will never live up the memories that I have. I've made peace with the fact that I'll never see a Harpua live. And I love seeing and hearing the amazingly creative music that Mike Gordon does now that Phish is done. So, would I go to a Phish concert if they came back? Probably. But I'm not driving more than 50 miles. Do I want to see Phish come back. No, not really.
