at the end trey pretty much directly compares billy strings to jerry garcia. torch passed!

This has been an awesome pod and the end has just gotten so much better. Billy praise from Trey got me smiling ear to ear.

this is cool, somebody made a playlist with the original versions of songs phish has covered. maybe not complete but it's comprehensive, 503 songs, 34 hours.

i listened yesterday and thought the pod was very good. a pretty natural conversation like marc normally has. it’s cool to hear about how organic phish’s following has grown from barely having fans to taking on the jam scene after jerry died to hundreds of people being backstage before the band’s breakup then trey’s recovery and the band getting back together. trey truly seems humble and happy.
the parts i remembered and thought were interesting:
trey went to college in vermont because of the amount of bars they had that he thought he could play in.
marc saying one of his last experiences with cocaine was with mitch hedberg in a hotel room in chicago while they listened to my bloody valentine.
ck5 telling trey that the drugs got out of hand once trey was doing them in the open because before that everyone felt like they had to hide their drug use.
trey seeing tiger out of its case for the first time since jerry died because steve parish showed him it during fare thee well and steve cried when the case was opened. trey played the guitar for a couple of minutes then put it back.
marc says he doesn’t like dave matthews band and trey says that dave is a friend of his then asks marc why he doesn’t like dmb and marc changes the conversation LOL
marc asks trey about john mayer and he says “playing with noel redding doesn’t make you jimi hendrix” LOL
there was an indoor pool behind the stage at big cypress?!??

i've seen a lot of people misinterpet this in the past couple days. I don't think this is trey throwing shade at mayer at all. I think that was meant more as a tribute to jerry. Trey was pretty open about how he reveres Jerry and his dedication to the craft. I think I got that his whole point was that without Jerry, they aren't the grateful dead - doesn't matter who is playing the lead guitar. In the rolling stone interview from last week he said about the fare thee well shows:
I’ll quote Jorma Kaukonen, who was there from the beginning. He famously said, “It’s Jerry’s band. Sorry guys.” That’s what I learned working with them. The songs are incredible, and it’s great there are a lot of tribute bands going and playing it. But every once in a while, there’s a titanic American musician that comes through the ether, whether it be Louis Armstrong or James Brown. I mean, James Brown had a great band, too. And Jerry had a great band. We were lucky we got to experience that genius of American music in Jerry.
We now get to sing his songs. Everybody gets to sing his songs. I was honored to be there and pay tribute to this incredible musician who I was lucky to see play many, many times. But other than that, it’s pretty much just nostalgia. Sorry. But it is.

nice list of highlights! the CK5 cocaine bit was particularly revealing to me. like trey was genuinely like wow when did everyone start doing coke, and CK5 is like we been doing it man, just not in front of you.
i also loved at the beginning when marc was kind of apologizing to trey for his "contempt prior to investigation". marc was saying they aren't some hippie shit, and trey said yeah we are more like prog. generally just the humility with which marc approached the interview, admitting he had phish all wrong in his head.
also loved the marc said him and trey have texted a bit afterwards. my biggest reason for wanting marc to interview trey is because i think these two could genuinely be friends. they have a ridiculous amount in common, but are from different enough worlds that they have stuff they could learn from each other. jersey guys, drug addicts, big into music and guitars, both with great senses of humor. i don't need marc to become some big phish guy.
regarding the indoor pool at big cypress, years ago phish did this thing on SiriusXM called "festivalography", it was 4 hours long went through the history of phish festivals. really really interesting stuff for people interested in festivals in general, or the history of festivals in the US. or phish, because the story of their festivals is basically the story of phish, and the story of phish festivals is basically the story of U.S. music festivals in general (that and GV/insomniac). there are interviews interspersed with live selections from the various festivals. really fun stuff, i don't know if it's available on the Sirius app or elsewhere. anyway i knew about the backstage pool because of that lol.

i’ll have to try to find that. i’ve listened to the podcast series about big cypress and really liked it.
When Bailey rolls back into the green room with his girlfriend, Juliette, and the band’s tour manager, CJ, in tow, his face is frozen in a stunned smirk. “Alex just met Trey,” CJ deadpans.
Adrenaline still pumping from the interaction moments earlier, Alex sets the scene: Artist catering was wrapping up service, but he and Juliette had gone to see what scraps were left. When they arrived, they found Trey Anastasio eating with [TAB trombonist] Natalie Cressman and a member of the band’s crew.
As they quietly settled in a few tables away in the nearly empty dining area, Alex and Juliette were at odds. Bailey admits that he was starstruck, intent on not drawing attention to himself. Juliette, on the other hand, wasn’t content to let him miss this moment.
“She’s looking over at [him]. I’m like, ‘Stop it! Stop looking at him!’” Alex recalls, recreating his sheepish reaction through spurts of laughter. “But then, I see that they’re wrapping up. She’s nudging me, like, ‘Get up!’ And I’m like, ‘No! No!’”
Juliette wasn’t having it. “I intercepted him,” she says, laughing. “I said, ‘Hi, I’m Juliette, I just wanted to make the introduction.’”
With no way to back out now, Alex continues, he did his best to keep his composure as he introduced himself to a man who has surely been approached in similar fashion by young musicians for decades: “I’m like, ‘Uh, hey, Trey, great to meet you. I played in the band Eggy, um… earlier.”
Alex had expected a friendly response from Anastasio, but the jam icon’s reaction to the introduction took him by surprise: Trey’s eyes widened in recognition when he heard the band’s name. “I’ve got a story for you,” the Phish guitarist told him. “It’s a good one.”
“You know that King Gizzard [& The Lizard Wizard] song that you guys play, ‘Interior People?’” Trey asked Alex. In 2022, he explained, Phish learned how to play the song in order to cover it during the band’s year-end run at Madison Square Garden.
Phish had started practicing “Interior People” in July, Trey told Alex, and had gotten it down by mid-December. “He played me a voice memo of it from December 18th, 2022, right before the New Year’s run.” Alex says. “Him and Page [McConnell, Phish’s keyboardist] sitting and playing through the whole thing.”
Then, they found out about Eggy. “[Trey] was like, ‘When we were preparing for it, one of my friends called me and was like, hey, just letting you know, this band Eggy has been playing this song. Alright, well, I gotta check it out. … I checked it out, watched the whole video. After that, I pulled the plug on it.’”
Bailey’s smile widens as he repeats Trey’s words out loud for the first time: “It was hints of being like, ‘F— you guys,’” he estimates, “but in a very, very playful way. … He was like, ‘All of the people at the Garden that would’ve been psyched to hear that, they have you to blame. … When you see the rest of the Eggy guys, tell them that.’”
“So, you’re on the radar,” CJ musters.
“On the radar!” Alex grins, still dazed by the series of events that turned him from “shy Phish fan” into “unwitting Phish disruptor” in an instant.
i think it kind of rules that Eggy scooped phish on king gizz lol.
What are the odds that they picked the same song. Why that one? Side note I’ve never listened to Eggy.
Given the size of King Gizzard's catalog i think it's wild they both chose the same song. i'm a casual king gizzard fan and am aware of Interior People, which i think says something about it's popularity, but still.
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know you realize that life goes fast - It's hard to make the good things last-you realize the sun doesn't go down - It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Took an edible last night and played the tiny desk loud on my Tv for my family. My wife hated it. I told my 4 year old to watch because the two guys with guitars are going to jump on trampolines. At the end she said, "I kinda liked it daddy." So I got 1 of 2, not bad.
