Listen to the LivePhish Playlist of the songs listed here on our mobile LivePhish app!: https:\/\/livephi.sh\/3wGMF45<\/a><\/span><\/p>

Everyone has a favorite era of Phish. Whether you’re a seasoned vet, or if you’ve only seen a handful of shows, everyone has their preferences. In the golden age of the internet, it has never been easier to access recordings or soundboards of shows (albeit, there is something special about a family member or friend bestowing upon you a tape from a show). CashorTrade as a community grew during Phish’s reunion in 2009, as fans were eager to see their favorite band take the stage again after the trials and tribulations leading to their breakup in 2004. Their reunion in 2009 famously noted the new era of Phish, colloquially known as 3.0 for the shows following their second hiatus. In mid-January of this year, Trey posted a photo on his social media sites of a new guitar Paul Languedoc forged for him, which he jokingly dubbed as the 4.0 guitar (or was<\/em> it a joke?). Either way, the pandemic we’re all facing has marked a hiatus of its own whether we like it or not, so it inspired us here at CashorTrade HQ to remember some of our favorite eras of Phish and to spur conversation among the community.<\/p>

You might be asking yourself why we’d dive into 2.0 Phish first? Across the board, it seems Phish fans have the strongest and most differing opinions about this period of Phish. The common criticisms spawn from the uncertainty that this short-lived period of the band’s career provided- a distinctly different sound from the band, a distinctly different attitude from its members, and a distinctly different feeling as a fan. When thinking about the pandemic and the uncertainty that it provided, it also begs us to look deeper and find the magic that reverberates through the chaos. Here’s a playlist<\/span> to ease your mind and remind you of that magic and those paramount moments in phishtory, whether you love it or hate it. After all, “<\/span>If you would only start to live one moment at a time, you would, I think, be startled by the things that you would find.”<\/span><\/p>
