Who will be the next Phish?
I am not a real big jam band fan, but I really enjoyed listening and going to Phish shows and was wondering who will take over as the next Phish?
I think Widespread Panic are too southern and too old. I got to see Tea Leaf Green at Bonnaroo and really enjoyed them. I think they definitely have potential if they start touring like mad. I just don't see moe. progressing beyond where they are now. Toughts? |

I have heard people mention String Cheese Incident, and I like them, but I think they are way too "bluegrassy" for any sort of mass appeal. Other than that, I don't see it happening, with any bands I am currently aware of, anyway. |

Re: Who will be the next Phish?
there won't be another phish, just like there hasn't been another dead. there are good bands out there like MMW, Moe, Widespread, string cheese. ONe jam band that I think will start to make waves is a band called umphrey's mcgee, remember the name cause their good. It will take years though for another big tourning band to come around like phish and the dead did cause that type of scene is one that takes time to develop

In the sense of being a full time touring band that had a huge devoted following, yes definetly, but they are two completely different bands when it comes to musical style. Personally, I just hate saying that someone or something is the "next" whatever cause that is generally unfair to whoever/whatever is being pegged as that |

Re: Who will be the next Phish?
agreed, but i think (assume) the OP's question was geared more toward the "full time touring band that had a huge devoted following [of hippies]" and i would also probably add the spontaneous setlists and open encouragement of a devoted taping/trading community.

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, I was thinking along the lines of: Dead --> Phish --> ???? Not that the Dead or Phish had similar styles or the next band needs too either, but they definitely created similar environments. |

Re: Who will be the next Phish?
umphrey's is the best in terms of technicality and songwriting.
moe. has the most relaxing vibe, tho. the new deal kicks ass. -kyo |

Re: Who will be the next Phish?
I do agree that moe. has the best positioning for this, but not necessarily the most potential.
Anyways, for those of you who are like me and don't feel like always dealing with the Etree/Furthur route, I've been using Audio Archive for Taper-Friendly bands to get my FLAC/shns (and they do have mp3...we need a "puke" graemlin). Cheers. |
