As someone who was at both Phish's "Magnaball" festival this Summer, and at two of the Dead50 shows in Chicago, the Phish shows were all better, in terms of musical consistency and mind-blowing jams. Dead50 was super loosely defined.
Yep.
The Dead50 shows were pretty awesome too though, obviously. I wanted to be in the stadium on the fourth of July, on a low dose of LSD, and I wanted to hear them play One More Saturday Night, and U.S Blues. I also at some point wanted to be a part of the Not Fade away chant.
And that's exactly what happened.
I got in on the 4th and didn't even have any acid when I went in there at first, some random dude out of nowhere came by and sold my friend a hit. We split it. It was a literal dream come true.
The bonus was getting in the next night too, and being a part of the not fade away chant.

I'm not saying that the Dead are currently better than phish, or even that they are better, just that lyrically, they're pretty obviously better. lyrics aren't phish's strong point imo

I dunno man, lotsa people say that but i'm not seeing it.
Phish lyrics always speak to me personally, first time I saw them I spent half the show crying tears of joy

I never got into victim or the crime, sure sometimes it had a really cool opening, but it just felt to dark most of the time, and not the cool kinda dark like dark star miami 10/26/89, but just down right shitty.

I am a huge deadhead and phish phan. Phish is got it going on these days. I'm done travelling out of state for something dead related. Phish on the other hand will get me to travel to another country.
If you don't like phish, I really doubt you've actually given them a chance and listened to them with an open mind. Break away from the phish stereotypes and see what they're all about. Anyone who says phish sucks really hasn't listened to them with an open heart

Anything that could help keep Lysergic D's homicidal tendencies at bay is a solid thumbs up in my book. Apparently at a Phish show I was right next to Lysergic D and he didn't even break out the nitrous tank he keeps around for smashing people's heads in.

I quite like phish. I do wish there was a band virtually the same only slightly better though... like sometimes they're almost perfect for me, but there's always something that stops me from totally loving them. I haven't seen them live though so, clearly I'm missing out. I've seen no one interesting live. *sigh*
