Bill Walton Ready To Hop On Phish Tour

Celebrity Deadhead Bill Walton is no stranger to Phish having seen the band perform a handful of times in the past, but after being shocked and awed at Fare Thee Well by guitarist Trey Anastasio the basketball Hall Of Famer had a new appreciation for the Vermonters.

WOW!!! Thanks Phish & the Forum for everything. Thanks for the inspiration, the dream, the joy, love & happiness. WOW pic.twitter.com/LVA91lXK3r

More than a week ago Walton announced his intentions to catch last night’s Phish show at The Forum in Inglewood. Bill was unusually quiet on Twitter during the actual performance, but has since shared an enthusiastic view on what went down. In fact, Walton -who says he has seen over 800 Grateful Dead shows over the years -is ready to hop on tour now. Like many of us have asked after the night in which “we got it,” Bill wants to know “where’s the next show?”

@phish @treyanastasio @mike_gordon Can we do that again?!!! Where’s the next show? Please put San Diego & Vegas on your schedule.

Bill Walton wasn’t the only celebrity to attend last night’s Phish show. Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo hung with the band at The Forum:
