For Phish's four-
night New Year's run at Madison Square Garden back in December, the band only played
original material with the exception of the traditional "Auld Lang Syne." According to a new feature on the group, that trend may continue
during Phish Summer Tour.
Guitarist Trey Anastasio told Rolling Stone's David Fricke that, "I think you're going to
see a lot less covers, because everyone's excited about the new material." Anastasio is
referencing the songs from the band's first new album in five years, Fuego, which
is
due later this month. Trey mentions to Fricke that he hopes, "the songs establish
themselves in the live repertoire" and it appears there will be plenty of opportunity over
the course of summer tour.
We suggest reading the whole feature about an album that Fricke
calls
"Phish's most satisfying studio effort since 1996's Billy Breathes." Fricke talks
to
Anastasio, keyboardist Page McConnell and the album's producer - Bob Ezrin - for the piece that was published in the latest issue of Rolling Stone.
