Forum VIP Dr. Vapor Posted September 27, 2011 Forum VIP Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 There are very strong rumors of Phil leaving Furthur after this Fall Tour, this is not surprising to me. I think Phil wants to focus on his "Ramble Style" Project Terripan Landng, I am sure getting that building built and the project off the ground is a ull time job for him and Jill. Time will tell.......Dr. V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will telll.......Dr. V I guess Salamander counts as very strong rumors (I assume, maybe wrongly, that's what you are referring to). Man, that guy has some power. One post on Org and the GD universe is ablaze! I was one of those people who actually made fun of the folks that were saying John was going to join Phil and Bob in a full time band so I've learned my lesson regarding anything that has to do with DSO or Furthur. Who knows is my new line with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP lookyloo Posted September 27, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I believe it when I see it. I fell for this back in 1990 @ Cal Expo too and I remember his stepping up to the mic and saying "You know there's this rumor going around that I'm leaving the band......I just want to say that it's a BULLSHIT LIE!!!"

Forum MVP Tea Posted September 27, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I am more inclined to think that we will see fewer dates and possibly a disproportionate amount of them out West. I have heard on reasonably good authority that Bobby has been trying and is close to getting Ratdog back together - I guess the question is: For a big tour or spotty in-between dates.

Lots of us fell for that one. Some morning interview (Good Morning America?) and Wasserman replacing Lesh. Man, we were we young and dumb back then. David, Who, or what, is this Salamander to which you refer? He is just some poster on Ratdog.org who, I will admit, is probably right more often than he is wrong.

Forum VIP Dr. Vapor Posted September 27, 2011 Author Forum VIP Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Why do people think that a guy 72 years old next year, with a major health condition, who also has been away from his family for most of his life wants to stay at home and play music at his new venue with his Family, sure if I was him I would get around due a dozen shows a year with Furthur or Phil & Friends, but does he really need to do 50 shows a year sleeping on Bus.....I dont think so, I am happy for Phil, Jill, Graham and Brian, that they can spend time enjoying music together. ...Dr. V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subcooler Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I've heard that Fall tour is final Hoorah for Furthur, but the reason was totally different.......... Info came from a very reliable source, but I'm not much in the speculation Biz these days ! Time will tell ! Peace, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindman Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Is this just a ruse to get me to pony up for Monterey in two weeks? I think my thirst will be pretty much quenched after this weekend in SF... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Tea Posted September 29, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Dont believe everything you hear. Good advice. What about where there's smoke there's fire? Frankly I will be happy for Phil if he wants to slow down. I will be also happy to go and see Furthur when/if they come back around my way. Either way I'm good.
