[edit] Info Box
I have noticed that numerous users have removed the info box from this page. I think it is very important piece of information that adds legitimacy to this page. If you really do not think it belongs here, please state your claims here. Thanks. Milchama 11 February 2006 18:15
Trey is a solo artist. He never named his backing musicians and they don't need to be seen as equal parts of a band. It'd be like having a page of Phil Collins band members.....pointless
[edit] Trey's Band
This article is about Trey Anastasio and this band, not Trey himself which can be found here. I originally wrote this article about the history of this project starting with the relationship with Russ and Tony, the expanding lineup, only adding members and not removing them, and the album and tours that followed. This lineup, just like the ever-changing lineup of 70 Volt Parade, should be documented here.
If that theory follows, you should not only remove the info box from the 70 Volt Parade entry, but merge the two together, since they are both products of Trey being a solo artist, despite the fact they are different entities in terms of musicians and musici style. To be honest, the picture of Trey on the page shouldn't even be here because it does not clearly identify that its from his solo career.
What I like about Wikipedia is that users can expand entries and add new articles and categories. Look at Category:Phish and how comprehensive it has become. We should be adding more, not deleting things. Milchama 14 Feb 2006 04:00
[edit] ========================
I actually agree that 70 Volt Parade should be merged. Trey Anastasio is a solo artist.....this Octet>Dectet>Hexagontet>Quadriceptet> thing is messy and confusing as hell. The ticket stubs, advertisements, live downloads all just say "Trey Anastasio"
[edit] Different solo projects
Yes, Trey is a solo artist, but so is Prince. Therefore, should Prince & The Revolution and Prince & The New Power Generation be one article? I don't think so, because they are different outfits, just like TAB and 70VP are.
This article, as I've said before, is not about Trey's entire solo career, but one distinct band with a history of its own.

[edit] This article, and the one for 70 Volt Parade are wrong.
This article should be for the solo project that Trey had from 1999-2004. After that final performance, that was the end of this band.
In 2005, Trey introduced 70 Volt Parade, with numerous changes in band members. In 2006, 70 Volt Parade was renamed Trey Anastasio Band. He did not revive this former outfit, but renamed his current project. Yes, I know that there are members of that former band in the new one, but its a continuation of 70VP, not what we had called TAB. Milchama 17:06, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
