Trey Anastasio Once Again Causes People to Google “phish reunion”

Trey Anastasio is about to head out on tour and again there’s a new chance that Phish might get back together…

A reunion of Phish? Trey Anastasio expects it to happen, though nothing has been planned — or is being planned, at the moment.

“It was exciting playing with Mike this summer because we sort of got to know each other in a way we didn’t in Phish. We spent a lot more time together, just the two of us. And when you play with a lot of [other] musicians, you really gain even deeper appreciation for how great those [Phish] guys are when they’re gone. There’s some things only they can do, and you reach a point where you want to do it with them again. So, we’ll see.” [Billboard]

I know this might have been taken out of context but it seems to be news-worthy every time he’s about to go out on tour. Seriously…

Just trying to sell tickets? Really gonna happen ever? Thoughts? Drop some comments; Trey always tugs at the heart strings…

I’m 15 and started listening to phish about two years ago. In the past year they have become a huge part of my life. A band has never inspired me like Phish has. Having not even heard of the until their 2004 breakup I needless to say haven’t seen them live. I’ve seen the DVDs and have the CDs but havent BEEN THERE. Many freinds and I would be more ecstatic than words could describe to hear of a phish reunion. Honestly, we all have our own opinions, but I want to know what it’s like to actually experience Phish.

Everyone can forget a Phish reunion at Bonnaroo. First of all none of the guys are scheduled. No Mike w/ Ramble Dove. No Trey or Oysterhead (which was great last year). No Page&Fishman like moe.down (also great). Bonnaroo is the last place Phish will reunite. I haven’t heard the Coventry show because I’m scared to listen to it. I’ve only heard negative shit from everyone who posted a review. I think that Phish, especially Trey from what I’ve read, needs to redeme themselves and do at least one more festival like IT or even Brooklyn 04. Mark my words its going to be a while; years. Don’t hold your breath for a reunion. Just listen to their old shows, see Trey or Mike solo if you can afford the $45, and keep on hoping.

Dude I saw trey at charletsville with tea leaf green and personally i have never seen phish and i was like dead at the end of the show. hands down one of the best shows of my life. Right now im listenin to a tight ass moma dance thinkin of how badly phish needs to get back togethor. And yeah like if you saw the brooklyn concert they werent the best but give them time like i think trey is a good guy why is everyone hatin on him so much. He is a leader he cant change that maybe if any of you play lead guitar like i do you would know. And know that they know they can share the spotlight

I have hoped and hoped… I will always think positevly and hope for a Phish reunion. Deep down do I think they will get back together? It truly hurts me to say but no. With Trey’s recent bust with painkillers and heroin and admitting he has a drug problem I don’t think a reunion is anyhwere in the near future. Will there EVER be a Phish reunion? Not for a long,long,long time…The CD’s and DVD’s are the only things that keep me going – oh yeah, and HOPE!

For the past 8 years I’ve followed Trey and his companions as much as I could. I’ve also seen Phish live a few times and they have given me experiences that I will take to my grave. We can only hope that someday they will reunite and continue the legacy they started out on. They are part of this generation, much like Grateful Dead, and they need to continue to set the pathway for real raw talent. I hope and pray that they will reunite not for themselves but for the fans who miss them or never got to see what a life changing experience they can give. I miss you guys. Peace.

since i have been in 7th grade i have filled my ears and my mind to the apex with phish’s music and the phish (musical) philosophy. i ahd heard about phish many times before the times i heard them, but i never thought about what there music might be like. i realized i was forced towards them like i was a manget. i have studied the band for about 2 years now, and as i have read about what they’ve been doing for the past 24 years i realized that i should want them to come abck together again, but i should also understand the fact that they’ve tried to get back together once before, should they come back from their second hiatus, will be a miracle. the reason why it should be a miracle is because it iusn’t likely that they will. it kinda shows though that they might want to get back together, through all the times they have played since then. i was speaking someone i know and they said their room mates went to see a trey show, but the entire band (phish) came out on stage instead of treys band at the concert. i also read about how mike, trey and page have all played at once on the same stage in the summer of 2006. should they start to play more frequently with each would be amazing. i believe that its possible, its mroe then possible, but the process and the event may take longer then any one might want it to. all in all, i pray and really want that they come together again to spread their phiosophy, and feelings of music, and the music its self again. it would really be lucky. but the more positive side of it is that if they get back together again, they probably won’t break up any time soon after it. other wise, we all need them to come back.
sincerely

To hear Trey say something like that makes sparks phly in my heart and put dissapointment in my head. Its like hearing someone say “Oh, well maybe, just maybe, I’ll give you a Ferrari…but if I maybe, just maybe, decide to…there’s a chance it’ll be dented, beat up, and the engine might not run quite the way you want.”

Believe me, I would live on the streets with only my trusty drumsticks and a snare drum (being a drummer myself) to hear Phish play. I just phear that if and when they do, a good while from now, it might not be the old Phish we knew and loved. The phour of them amaze me more than any other single group of musicians and have and continue to inspire me. I just don’t think it will ever be the NYE 95 we all yearn for, or anything close.

I hope that if they do decide to reunite and have one last jam-band-thirst quenching tour that they wait good and long until they know that they can give us phans the music we so badly want. I myself have never seen Phish live and only discovered their unmatched, amazing music within the past year. It has blown me away that phour people could make such phenomenal, soulful, deep music that comes so deep from the heart. Everytime I listen to their music I wish I had been born thiry years earlier for I am only 14 (but I hate the modern music scene for its lack or skill, improvisation, and depth of soul in both lyrics and instrumentals). I think I understand the art of music as much or more than the next phan and I just hope that Phish can understand it enough like they used to to be able to give us what we crave.

For any true phish phan to say that it is just not going to happen- you are cheating yourselves. Believe in phish.
