WasteOfTime The Grateful Dead was intangible. Phish is definable. Are we going to discuss post-modernism in general? Conscious vs. self-conscious. Do we discuss the technical abilities, the craft, or do we discuss the art. Phish is very crafty and self aware. The Grateful Dead was innate and much less conscious of what was "put out there". This is mid-sixties vs. mid-eighties....

The Grateful Dead live scared the hell out of me at times...Phish has danced me into a puddle on the floor but never cuts too deep. Both powerful experiences but very different.

Phish, body. Grateful Dead, soul. Ivory tower be damned!
