Editing Toad the Wet Sprocket (section)

=== Post-breakup and reunions (1998–2008) ===
Toad the Wet Sprocket, though officially broken up since 1998, worked together off and on over the years. They performed on several occasions in 1999, although only short sets. Also in 1999, Phillips, Dinning, and Guss recorded two studio tracks for a compilation release, ''[[P.S. (A Toad Retrospective)]]'', including one of the first songs the band wrote together, "P.S." Nichols declined to participate in these sessions and was replaced by Lapdog guitarist Rob Taylor.

Toad the Wet Sprocket temporarily reunited in late 2002, playing a benefit for the Rape Crisis Center in Santa Barbara and opening a few shows for [[Counting Crows]]. The group then played a few months of full-length shows in early 2003. Although these gigs were seemingly successful,{{citation needed|date=February 2015}} at the end of the tour, the band decided to continue on their separate paths and careers. In 2004, the band released an album of a live show that had been taped in 1992. This album, ''Welcome Home: Live at The Arlington Theatre, Santa Barbara 1992,'' showcased the height of their popularity during the tour for ''fear''.

Between 2004 and 2010, Toad the Wet Sprocket performed several short sets together. In the summer of 2006, the band reunited for a 34-date nationwide tour of the United States. During the summer of 2007, they played several shows with lead singer Glen Phillips serving as their opening act. On January 16, 2008, the band reunited once again to play two shows – one in [[St. Petersburg, Florida]], then the next night at the [[House of Blues]] [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]], prior to joining The Rock Boat VIII. On January 25, 2008, the band played a set at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival in [[Ann Arbor, Michigan]]. On June 11–12, 2008, they played in [[Philadelphia]] and New Jersey at the [[Trocadero Theatre]] and [[Starland Ballroom]], respectively. On June 14, 2008, they played at the 27th annual Alexandria Red Cross Waterfront Festival.<ref>[http://www.waterfrontfestival.org/index.html 27th Annual Alexandria Red Cross Waterfront Festival] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090507093457/http://www.waterfrontfestival.org/index.html |date=May 7, 2009 }}. ''American Red Cross, Alexandria Chapter''.</ref> On June 15, 2008, the band performed at The Norva in [[Norfolk, Virginia]]. One of the show's highlights was the band performing Glen Phillip's solo hit "Everything But You".

On December 19, 2008, Toad the Wet Sprocket performed on ''[[The Adam Carolla Show (terrestrial radio)|The Adam Carolla Show]]'' at the Canyon Club in [[Agoura Hills, California]]. In May 2009, they played a four show mini-tour, including two nights at the intimate 400 seat venue [[The Ark (folk venue)|The Ark]] in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and also in an outdoor venue at Neptunes Park in [[Virginia Beach, Virginia]]. Continuing throughout the 2009 summer, the group played a second 12-stop mini tour, which started with a show at the House of Blues in [[Houston]]. During the show, the band noted that it had been some time since they had played a venue in Texas. However, noting the positive crowd response and energetic atmosphere, Philips stated that the group "would try to make it an annual stop" in the future.<ref>[http://www.myspace.com/toadthewetsprocket Toad the Wet Sprocket Official MySpace Page].
