The Grateful Dead and Phish are two very talented bands, who in their time, created big names for themselves. Many people make wrongful association with these two groups of musicians. It is said that Phish is trying to be the Dead of this generation. This statement is very untrue. Phish is not a Grateful Dead take-off. Phish and the Dead have much more differences than similarities. There are of course a few similarities between these two bands. If there were none, nobody would compare them so much. Phish and the Grateful Dead are both considered "jam" bands. This comes from their live shows, in which they take their songs and stretch them into long improvisational jams.

r some Grateful Dead tunes, along with covers from other various artists and their own originals. The Dead songs were played on very few occasions, and the songs were "Fire on the Mountain" and "Scarlet Begonias".

There were people who said the music of the two bands were very much alike. If you listen to a song of each band, you would know how different they sound from each other. Phish is much more funky than the Grateful Dead's more mellow sound. Grateful Dead's lyrics have much more meaning behind them aside from Phish's, sometimes, silly lyrics. Another thing that is different with the sound of the music is the members in which the bands hold. The Dead has two drummers, Billy Kreutzman and Mickey Hart, and two guitarists, Bob Weir and Jerry Garcia. While Phish on the other hand only has one drummer, Jon Fishman (no relation to the ba! nd's name), and one guitarist, Trey Anastaci
