Surprised no nod to their following the path that their heroes blazed (Grateful Dead)
- jeffwass 2y agoThe Dead are explicitly mentioned : So while Phish undoubtedly has fewer fans than Madonna, the ticket revenue per fan is way higher because fans loyally attend multiple shows. Not since the Grateful Dead has a band built a following as loyal as Phish. And like the Grateful Dead, Phish merchandising is a big business as fans gobble up Phish t-shirts, baby-onesies, and hats.
