There’s been a whole lot of debate on JamBase.com in the article’s comments about what Trey’s post-Phish experience is like, and they’re very divided between the positive and negative. Anyways, here’s my thoughts: I’ve read that review over and over about 6 times now, and the guy seems liking he’s ripping on Trey for the sake of ripping on Trey. I’ve seen Trey once with his solo band in 2002, both Alpine Phish shows in 2004, Three times at Vegoose (Trey, Dave & Friends, Widespread), and most recently at the Dekalb NIU show with 70 Volt Parade. The only time I’ve ever felt he was off was when he seemed hammered at Alpine (but then again so was I) and during his acoustic set at Vegoose, which dragged a little for me despite the incredible “Waste” with Jen Hartswick. His show at NIU - which I was proud to take my 14yr old sister to as her first show - had all the energy I expected from Trey, a great synergy with the crowd, and a good selection of tracks. Frankly I thought Shine was a great record, and it was probably because I went into it expecting something short, sweet, and to the point; I don’t see how you could think it would be anything other than that after seeing Farmhouse, Round Room, and Undermind. If you can get a copy of his Vegoose show and listen to what he says to the crowd during the solo acoustic set I think people would really appreciate what he’s doing more, I mean the man nearly started crying on stage. Anyways, as much as I would love to see Phish again considering I never saw any of the 90’s shows, this is what the guys doing now, people need to stop and realize it’s not supposed to be the same stuff Phish did.
