Trey Anastasio Talks Phish with Rolling Stone

Trey at Jammys
By R. Snyder
Trey Anastasio sat down with Rolling Stone last week, and while he didn't say Phish was getting back together, he did hint at it.

Trey told RS's Brian Hiatt: "When Phish broke up, I made some comment about how I'm not gonna go around playing 'You Enjoy Myself' for the rest of my life. And it's so funny because Fish and Mike and Page have been talking to each other a lot lately and now — it's not that I can't believe that I said that, but its symbolic of how much I lost my mind or how much I lost my bearings or something. Because at this point in time I would give my left nut to play that song five times in a row every day until I die. I certainly thought about that while I was in jail."

Trey recently received a reduced sentence of three years' probation for possessing painkillers without a prescription; more info on Trey's sentencing can be found here. Trey currently has one show scheduled for the summer on August, 2 at the Newport Folk Festival in Newport, RI where he will perform solo acoustic.

So go fine JamBase users, go and set the comment board ablaze! And you might as well listen to the epic "Y.E.M." (below) with Santana from Stowe, VT in 1992 while you do it...

Holly Shit!!!! What A FUCKING TEASE!!!!!!!!!! PHISH WILL GET BACK TOGETHER!! And Fuck whoever talks shit, if Trey is sober and stay that way I think a Phish show is possible. Phish's music means soo Much to soo many people I would love to see them come back.

Do you remember where you were and what you were doing when you found out they were ending their last "Hiatus"?

Now, I'm not the biggest Phish fan in the world. I did see 35 shows between 1992 and 1995, but lost interest after Jerry died and the Phish scene blew up. I saw them 10 more times between 1995 and the end. However, this surely looks like the makings of a comeback, at least in the embryonic stages. I would definitely see them if they got back together...It's just a shame that they're not allowed to play at Red Rocks, the greatest venue on the planet.

"I would definitely see them if they got back together...It's just a shame that they're not allowed to play at Red Rocks, the greatest venue on the planet." Why aren't they allowed to play at Red Rocks?

Anyone remember after the "hiatus" at a show in Hampton VA how Trey got pissed and started YEM over after the first few bars because he said that they had been practicing that song so much and he wanted to play it right? He sure seems to have a love/hate relationship with that song. I on the other hand love it unconditionally. I'll see you heads in the lawn Page side in 2010!

Already left this one on another thread, but here goes: whatever comes of this is cool, but let it be Trey's decision. He doesn't owe us anything. Seeing how things turned out in August of '95, if you could've maybe taken some of the pressure off Jerry by saying, "You don't have to tour for our sakes - we love you and we want to to be healthy and with us a long time", would you have done it? Yeah? Well ... maybe the same goes for Trey. These folks don't live just to please all of us- and they don't make changes in their lifestyles to hurt us ... don't hate them for stepping off the ride if they need to. If it's fun, play - play your heart out, Trey. But this time, do it for you, buddy.

Amazing what a little stay in the pokey does for a man. Good for you Trey. Get back to your roots, call the boys and put on a kick ass tour. We will be waiting.

Bryan24,a01---it is because in 1996 someone got hit by a car....a phish fan....in Morrison. Phish, took the heat, and were banned. Great show though.

I am glad that Phans are starting to realize that this is not about us, but about Trey and his quest to stay healthy....this is most important.

I honestly think if they do come back it will be some good stuff. They are all world class musicians. We just gotta keep Trey off of the hard stuff. Stick to the herb Trey, it's what's good for you brother..

Couldn't agre more Natey. This is about Trey and the band, and about making music again. As long as we can keep Trey off of the Heroin and Morphine I think we're in for one hell of a ride if they do end up on the road again.

For what it is worth, Kuroda is finishing up his prior engagments then headed back on the PHISH crew.

Interesting news... in light of the fact that Kuroda just stated in another interview tht Trey asked him to help on a huge project coming up... but couln't talk too much about it.
