On the Beat

On the Beat: David Menconi on music

News & Observer music critic David Menconi's random (and we do mean random) musings about all things related to music and culture of the "popular" variety.

All things reconsidered: Phish

Word is that jam-band Phish will end its four-year hiatus next March with three sure-to-sell-out-immediately shows in Hampton, Va. Check here for details on tickets (and the band's zero-tolerance policy on scalping).

If that's step one in a full-on reunion, perhaps they'll return to Raleigh to recreate one of the more storied shows in Phish history.

I would STRONGLY disagree

I would STRONGLY disagree that Trey's solo albums we bad. They were very good as was his work with Dave Matthews....

Phinally

There were good shows and bac, but I'm long overdue for one!! It's great news!!

Live and learn

Trey broke the band up because he didn't want play Y.E.M. for the rest of his life. A few bad solo albums and many community service hours later he's finally realized he'd be the luckiest man on earth if he could tour and play Y.E.M. for the rest of his life.
