GD60

I'd be more interested in a Phish 50 ter in 9 more years.

It'd be the same lineup over those 50 years, instead of what might be Bobby being the only original and Mickey being the only other long-term member from tGD while all the rest are post tGD hired ter musicians playing in a tribute band.

Phish would likely play sets similar to what they're doing now - a healthy mix of tunes spanning their entire career right up to the present, whereas for decades the "Dead" have strictly been a travelling oldies act who aren't creating and playing any new music (I'm not counting 'new' cover versions of other people's tunes). In 2024 a Phish audience is far more open to hearing new material from a viable, ongoing band; a Dead audience wants to hear the old songs from the 60's-80's and would be unhappy if those old tunes were pushed aside to make room for some bland, forgettable new material.

For me, the best/most authentic part of a GD60 show would be the lot. As mentioned upthread, I'd be more interested in a celebration of the music, but played by other bands or configurations of musicians with sit-ins from Bobby and Mickey (Phil and Billy if they were interested).

But that's just, uh, like, you know, uh, my opinion, man.
