The whole Furthur/Phish argument is like arguing about ice cream flavors.
Is Phish Food better than Cherry Garcia?
It really comes down to personal taste.
I prefer Phish Food to Cherry Garcia.
I prefer The Grateful Dead to Phish.
And I prefer Phish to Furthur.

It's just what tastes good to my taste buds.

Obviously Phil Lesh appreciates Phish, otherwise he would not be playing with them off and on over the past 15 years... You guys with this attitude are really missing out. Oh well, that leaves more Phish for the rest of us who do know how to appreciate good music across the board.

I don't see the point being which is better, that's not it at all. It's that both are unique and wonderful bands.

And I prefer them both; Phish just after the Dead... Both of them take me Furthur than only one of them would...

I love Phish. Furthur should play Watkins Glen with some Phishy onstage appearances. Listen to Phil and Phriends on Archive.org Phish Haters!!!!!!! Some of the best Phil and friends (if not the best) i've ever heard

to be honest i cant stand listening to PHish.. I dont see how anyone in there mind would compare them to the dead. They are nothing alike other than the fact that they Jam. thats it.

and I would hate if Furthur did a tour with Phish. Phish heads arnt anything like deadheads. its like a parking lot full of FRaternity kids looking for an excuse to do drugs and rip people off.

How any Phish kid does it take to change a lightbulb? They dont screw lightbulbs because they screw their family (~)

Smiley from Texas, you are crossing the line. This is not what Furthur wants on their forums, so drop those types of insults and stereotypes, which have no basis or merit whatsoever.

You guys stereotyping phish fans are a joke and sad. I've gone to as many Dead band/Furthur shows and Phish shows as I've been able to the last 15 years and love both bands immensely. So which box do I fit into?

Look at my icon. That's what I think!

My bad for upsetting the phish kids. I was just messin around. lighten up

and the reason me and my buddies say that is cuz we have a buddy lookin at serious time because of some Phish tour kids who couldt take the wrap for something they would have been out of jail for the next day.

but like i said i was jokin around
