The decline of a "band" has more to do with the sum of the parts than any individual component. Once you guys wake up and realize Phish isn't their main concern you will start to make peace with it. Phish didn't climb to the top by participating in "side projects". They are still all great musicians in their 40's. Definitely not over the "music hill".

They are a great band but they are not concerned with getting any better right now. Oh, and after this tour instead of "be back in 15 minutes", it will be I'll see you in 12 months.

It's funny how the wind blows around here. I was underwhelmed with the high points of last night's show but side projects, age and focus have nothing to do with the discussion.
