"Phish is so much better, so much more talented and so much more professional than the Dead ever were it's not funny."

Ridiculous comment on its face. Would you care to elaborate/substantiate this claim? By the way Dennis McNally, the Dead's long-time publicist,had a great quote on this,,"The Grateful Dead could make you laugh, but they could also make you cry." I am a Phish fan but I can't say many of their songs have made me cry or even take me close to that emotional point that the Dead did. I have seen a few Phish fans cry but that was because their whippet tanks were confiscated....
