Phish at the Jammys



You may have heard by now, Phish won was awarded the first ever Lifetime Achievement Award at the Jammys this year. The four band members, pictured above, were all in attendance at the event to accept the award (with Trey and Page actually playing music)

It was fitting and touching to hear from the 4 of them, with each of them contributing their own special personalities to their acceptance speeches. Page was thankful, Mike was funny and heartfelt, Fishman was silly and Trey gushed, big time. It wasn't quite a Coverntry redux, but it certainly tugged at the heart strings to see him so thankful for the love and support and history-based context the band experienced over the years.

It can't go without saying that it was a little strange for all four band members to be standing so close to instruments without actually picking them up together and ripping one out. They might not have seen each other in a while, they may not have practiced in a while and they may not have wanted to shatter the ice that surrounded them since their final performance...

But c'mon! :)
