    Trey Anastasio Hints at Phish Reunion

    Nearly four years after their break-up, the four members of Phish may have some unfinished business together. In an interview with Rolling Stone last week, Trey Anastasio didn’t exactly say the band has talked about a reunion, but he did drop some heavy hints. “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,” Anastasio said with a laugh. “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.”

    Anastasio spoke to RS on May 21st, the same day he received some good news: He was sentenced to probation on charges of possessing painkillers without a prescription, which had been reduced to a misdemeanor after he completed a drug treatment program. Earlier in May, Anastasio and the other members of Phish stood onstage together in New York to accept a lifetime achievement award at the Jammies.


If they do decide to come back, all I ask is that they seclude themselves in the studio to practice for 6 months. No friends, no fans, no hangers on. Just the 4 of them syncing up on the improv and classic legendary songs so they can come back and really rock. While it would be great to hear YEM again and again and again, it's such a complex song that if they don't "nail it", it's really gonna suck...

Please, for the love of god - PRACTICE!

p.s. and while you're at it, do it for love, not for money
