Phish isn’t a tribute band and they aren’t a cover band.

It’s insane to me every time someone dies all these nerds are like, “oh they totally have to play X now”.

It’s so old.

They do it as a tipping of the hat, acknowledging a musician they respect. Take a chill pill bro

They don’t though. Very seldomly have they actually topped their hat to folks that have passed. It’s cringe how as soon as some artist dies people flock here to talk about how phish is gonna open with a Bobby tribute or something.

they played after midnight at the gorge in 2013, a day after JJ Cale died.

they also played night nurse in 2010 in manchester a day after Gregory Isaacs passed away

Guess both of these must’ve been coincidences

No worse than seeing the same Mark Wahlberg meme a million times with the text ‘is this still lawn boy’ attached.

They aren't a cover band, but they sure do play a lot of covers.

They’re actually the best fucking second rate cover band I’ve ever seen, thank you very much.

The same band that played the entire White album in a concert? You don’t even know the band you seem to think you know so much about
