Maybe after the rest they will come out stronger then they had been. I seen them a few years ago at Vibes and the whole scene is what I love.

Like I was saying... When your in your 70's... How many more "come out stronger"s do you have left?

Furthur taking 2014 off after The Mexico gig. http://www.jambands.com/news/2013/09/17/furthur-will-go-on-hiatus-in-2014

i was really dubious about this combo at first...saw them first in fall 2010 and enjoyed it a lot more than i thought i would...having some (relatively) young guns in the mix worked really well to keep the old men propped up at times...to me they peaked in spring 2011, but were always pretty consistent...the biggest turn-offs imo were john k (he is a technically proficient and great at aping jerry's style, but seemed to lack any subtlety, feel, intonation or real musical sensibility to his playing)...and the vocals...good god man the vocals...i get why they were there, but when the back up singers were wailing along during a chorus it just crushed the mix...i do not go to see dead related groups for the vocals, but that's just me

in any event, i definitely enjoyed every show i saw and say 'thank you for a real good time' while looking forward to what the future may hold...it aint goodbye, it's see ya round

DMC. Only went to Phish twice. Just did not feel it. Too old to follow another Band. As far as JK, I like what he does quite a bit. He is much better when they turn him up and let him rip. Crazy fingers is something they can't hold back on and sounds awesome. I have no regrets. It you ever get to see the list of 10 things that tell you are too old for music festivals. I think I hot 7 or 8 of them. DMC, we can meet on the hill.

You think Phish would play Hunter Mountain Jam or Gathering of Vibes, I hope they do.

They are WAY too big for that... It would cause all sorts of issues...

Besides... I like my Phish served alone... So I can concentrate on their awesomeness... haha...

Phish announced their usually New year's playing at the Garden NYC, I would love to go to this.

Haven't listened but my West Coast friends have said it's some of the best Furthur they've seen...
Got a text from a friend that said Phil left the stage the other night... To piss... haha.

OMG!!! I think this was the best Phil and Friends Show I've seen to date. Luther and Anders are guitar gods!!! I'm thinking of going back on Sunday.

 

[deadheadskier]

Looking forward to hearing the tapes. Love Luther and just starting to get to know Anders music a bit.

The Last Waltz movie on sale for 2.99 at FYE just bought first time watching this classic last official concert of The Band will be tonight.

Looks like if you want to see Phil on the east coast, it will pretty much be at the Capitol Theater from now on.

At 73 years old, I can't blame the man for not wanting to tour anymore. This really is a good thing and I certainly hope to make it down there from time to time.

[marcski]

Yep. I read he was going to do that. I'm psyched....30 shows this year within 20 mins of me!!

I'm back for seconds tonight.

Great story, I knew the Brooklyn Bowl was amazing, not I have more reason to get to the Capital next spring.
