    I'd be unimpressed. All the old fans would say they arent as good and all the new ones would be, well, new ones.

    Fans of every artist detract from the overall appeal of a band. Every year a band performs, younger and younger kids come out to shows. Is that reason enough to wish for Trey to stay off the stage? I don't believe so. If the quality of fans mattered, I sure as hell wouldn't see a DMB show.

    Totally agree. I am stating what will be said. They're gonna get back together soon. Christ I heard rumors of a tour what the summer after they broke up.

    You can hear it being said prematurely at this moment. It seems every summer you have solid rumors of a reunion, but this is happening soon. If they aren't on "tour" by spring, I'd be shocked.

    I think they should just spread out the oldies. Maybe play YEM every sixth show.

    Trey and Mike have shared the stage quite often. As for the four of them, I don't believe so.

    just found this....

    http://www.phish.com/news/index.php?year=2008#story396

    A LETTER FROM PAGE 06.26.08
    Given the volume of speculation and rumors that have bubbled up recently, I have been asked to make a statement…Here goes.

    For me, the last four years have been great. I’ve spent quality time with my family and have watched my daughter grow. I took great pleasure and pride in writing and recording an album. I’m living a healthy lifestyle. I travel as little as possible and I sleep in my own bed. It took a couple of years after the break up to begin talking to my old band mates, but once the conversations began to flow it wasn’t long before the friendships were rekindled. And I can honestly say that I’m closer with all of them now then I’ve ever been in our 20-year relationship.

    Recently the conversations have turned toward the possibility of spending some time together. Currently many of us have plans and projects already in the works, most notably Mike, who made a great album and is about to hit the road in support of it. Given that I might not even see some of the guys for the next six months, I would say that the announcement of a reunion is premature. However, later this year we hope to spend some time together and take a look at what possible futures we might enjoy. In fact the only real decision that has been made is that when we do get together, it will only be the four of us, hopefully with no distractions. I am really looking forward to that.

    I want to say just a few more things. The prospect of Phish reuniting is something I consider very seriously, and I think about it a lot. And lastly, as always, there is plenty of misinformation floating around. Try not to focus too much on secondhand sources and random gossip. If there is anything real to announce, it will come from the four of us as a group.

    Until then,

    I definitely see it happening next year. At this point, with all that's happened lately, I'd be surprised if it didn't happen within the next 2 years.

    Phish Alpine '09!!!

    Also found this from Mike.....

    Phish Reunion? Mike Gordon Is “Optimistic,” Says Band Met With Lillywhite

    6/26/08, 1:06 pm EST
    Last month, Trey Anastasio set off a flurry of Phish mania when he told Rolling Stone, “At this point in time I would give my left nut to play [’You Enjoy Myself’] five times in a row every day.” Last week speculation that one of the world’s biggest jam bands — who split in 2004 — would reunite was stoked by rumors that Steve Lillywhite has been tapped to record a new Phish disc (he produced their 1996 album Billy Breathes). So we checked in with Phish bassist Mike Gordon — whose solo disc, The Green Sparrow, hits stores August 5th and features collaborations with Anastasio and Phish keyboardist Page McConnell — to see what’s true. “The band has had a couple of dinners and they’ve just been great,” Gordon tells Rolling Stone. “We’re all just excited about the idea of doing something sometime. I can’t guarantee it, but I’m optimistic.”
    As for Lillywhite, Gordon says, “We talked to him, actually. [The rumor] stemmed from reality. We love Steve Lillywhite. He would bring out some great things in us. But we don’t have specific plans to work with him. It was an idea and hopefully it’s something that if we rev things up, it could happen some day. We don’t know if we would tour first or make an album first. We have no idea.” Check back later today for a Q&A with Gordon.

    Has anybody besides me heard rumors about Phish playing on the Roo grounds? The people who put on Bonnaroo every year in Manchester, Tennessee now own the property and supposedly have plans for additional shows on the ground.
