With a fan base that almost parallels the Grateful Dead's
following in size and fervor, and a penchant for extended
jams and spacey segues, comparisons between Phish and that
legendary group are as pervasive as buckshot 10 yards out
of the barrel. But like buckshot, these comparisons spread
too thin, too quickly and often fall short of their mark.
Phish is its own animal.
While the band is well-known for such tangibles as epic
three-hour shows, zany lyrics and onstage antics (vacuum
cleaners, chess games and gigantic hot dogs, to name a
few), it's the intangibles - the sheer musical prowess --
which have earned Phish their army of followers. Their
music spans the spectrum of styles; obvious influences come
from rock, jazz, blues and bluegrass. But somehow, the b More...
Review about Phish Nice nostalgic and beautiful song/poem | Reviewer: Jb
------ About the song Waves performed by Phish
Waves is a great song with beautiful poetic words that focus on love and communication. The "sound" waves which are invisible carry words of love and loss from a heartbroken man to the love of his life. Uniquely focusing on the invisible power that carries our words to eachother brings up images of an overpowering invisible force that is the fabric through which everything waves through and connects us all as one within and without love
Fishman had a band, though their friends knew they were good in the garage, the could not find a place to play...astighik wanted to produce an album for Fishman...withercheckovny'y said i'd only put out if i was a writer on it, so he jotted down a loungy judgement statement followed by an a minor disco jam. The deal was set, if they could find a gig, so withercheckovny'y and Astighik walked down the the school and set up a show aroung the colledge afternoon luch and pitcher of beer seen.
"like a three pointer" it included a judgement statement about perception or yourself and others, and interaction with basic human dignity in the loungy part...then social interaction in the bouncing part.
these were of the original lyrics, while withercheckovny'y was playing with PJ harvey, morphine and primus as well as Carnival Acrobat hockey...and astighik was a princess of Lebenon, and a top fedral lawyer Judge.

Definitely not Phish | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Marijuana performed by Phish
This song is not done by Phish. I does not sound like Trey or Mike or any of them. As said before, its done by Brian Robbins. If you think it sounds like Phish, then you obviously dont listen to much Phish.
IN MY OPINION: Better than FEFY, If I Could, and Velvet Sea, which is hard for me to say. See: 12/28/96- Philly Spectrum- Set II (best "Design" ever); it's even better than NYE'95 cuz Fish keeps the beat going during the choruses, which is sexy and makes my heart jump for joy. Also 12/30/03- AAA- Miami, FL- Set I, was great (I was there:) PS: Plese notify me if anyone knows of any other super-good "Design"s- I'd love to know. I'm bored and still so in love with PHISH. Fare thee well know, let your life prceed by it;s own DESIGN. Nothing to tell now, let the words be yours, I am done with mine.

My reason for looking up the lyrics.. | Reviewer: Julia
------ About the song Marijuana performed by Phish
is that I just got put on probation for something unrelated to drugs and totally stupid *growls and shakes head*.. so I wanna learn the lyrics to sing them at the PO's waiting room cause I'm the only white chick seen there :P ya KNOW those guys love the blunt.. and so do I.
I love the lyrics.. so 'right' on the money. I first heard Phish on the Simpson cartoon. LOVED IT AND STILL LOVING IT! too bad I won't get to see a concert though :(
Katt Williams asked.. what are the side effects?
1. Hungry
2. Happy
3. Sleepy
and how you gonna kill anyone that way? booze kills ... not pot. why won't they make such a 'nice' drug legal when they make drinking ok?
1. Domestic Violence
2. Drunk driving *I don't know anyone that wants to drive when smokin.. and the one time I did.. I drove SO SLOW!!*
3. Alcohol Poisoning *Katt Williams on limewire .. he said it right too.. how many ppl 'overdose' on weed?*

there is a better version- more Biblical because He is coming to destroy the kingdoms of this world- He already redeemed it on the cross for whosoever will
Tweezer Review | Reviewer: Mandii
------ About the song Tweezer performed by Phish
"Tweezer" is personally among my favorites by Phish, though im sure all 'phans' can agree that it would be impossible to narrow it down to just one song. I think the lyrics of "Tweezer" are capricious, and the guitar solo that opens the song is inventive and entices the listener to experience the song in its entirety. As the song progresses Anastasio, Gordon, McConnell, and Fishman all add their own personality to make the tune catchy and fresh. You may actually get a sense as if you were about to be seized into a freezer! "Tweezer" is respectively complimented by the songs "Tweezer Reprise," which is a variation of the music and original "Tweezer" lyrics.
Totally Tits | Reviewer: phishwiggle
------ About the song The Wedge performed by Phish
This song is very good, I especially like the part about the two stall gargage. While growing up, my neighbors had a two stall garage with seperate enclosure attached to the back. My friends and I used to play with matches there. It was totally tits and this song brings back great memories.

Good old tune from back in the day. Phish was young but the music was dead on.Classic Phish style.

What a great song. On point the whole time. To me, it's contradictory to everything that pot haters say smokers are capable of doing. A focused and articulate song.

------ About the song Gumbo performed by Phish
As far as the beat goes, it is unusually straightforward for Phish. But most of the time they do some funky jamming. And don't try to figure the lyrics. I don't think they mean anything.
Amazing | Reviewer: Phish Phreak
------ About the song Cracklin' Rosie performed by Phish
I know Phish played this song at a concert in Providence RI, at the Providence Civic Center on December 12th, 1994 I believe. If I am wrong, which i don't think I am, please correct me in the next review.
I wanted to review this song, because I believe Trey and the whole band did a fabulous cover on it, and wanted to let everyone know what an amazing song Phish turned this song into for me.
At the December concert in 94 I like the way Trey introduced it. He said that Neil Diamond has prolly played this song everywhere, and now hes going to play it for you.
This is with out a doubt a Phish must, and I know Phish Phans across the nation will appriciate it as much as I.
Sing. Listen. Enjoy.
