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…

Anastasio Open to Future Phishing Expeditions [Billboard]

Here we go again….Trey should be focusing more on his music than on feeding the proverbial fire..

I can’t tell PR from BS anymore than the rest of you so we’ll see…

I sooooooo miss the days when we had to have that mail order sheet filled out CORRECTLY ( HA HA ) and the pheeling i got when the tickets came in the mail. I will admit that99 was a repeat song tour and i was tired of hearing the same but any phish is welcome back as far as i’m concerned

Trey is doing a great job, i think, of doing something totally different and not playing too much to people’s wishes. i think he is becoming stronger a player than ever and i think that if phish gets back together in a few, it will only happen because all four members are ready mentally and musically. last time they reunited, they werent (at least not trey). but failure is the greatest learning experience so next time, they will DO IT. and i think, after all is said and done, we will all be happier for it. jam on, musical peeps.

I’m 15 and have never heard a band as inspiring as phish. Being that they broke up before I had heard them, I haven’t experienced the thrill of being at the concert watching them. I think that they are all amazing musicians and should be credited for it. I am more that happy to hear everyones output to the idea of them having a reunion. I would love nothing more that to hear that they were planning a show. Today, I heard that they were going to play at The Bonnaroo festival this summer (2007). I did a little searching for it and unfortuanately came up empty. So to answer the question, YES I would love to see phish get back together for a tour, even just a show. Trey, Mike, Page, or Jon if you’re reading this I think it should happen and nothing would make me happier than to see you guys in concert. If anyone gets any news about the topic that you think i might be interested in, please e-mail me at 90.Day.Citronella@gmail.com. Thanks.

Well first of all I will not say that I have any bit of credibility to claim that I know more than others about Phish. I am 19 and have only seen them 5 times including Coventry which I agree was not exactly a swan song for them. Personally, I agree with Trey and his opinions that he states in the billboard article. Not to directly compare Phish to the Grateful Dead but it is a known fact that they are the only two bands is history that developed a following like they did. With something as special as that(following), in some ways your fans become your family and therefore Phish should tour until theyre old like the Dead did. Regardless of the fact that trey cannot play as tight as he used to, the energy is still there waiting amongst all the fans who anticipate or wish for a return. Maybe this longer hiatus could be a great thing for the band. Anyway, Phish’s potential return would be wonderful.

How about this idea…. What if Phish just did one huge summer festival each year? Don’t worry about touring or even putting out new albums. Just celebrate Phish once a year with a solid two days of music. Trey, if you’re reading this, just consider it man. Please.

I think Bonnaroo 2007 will see 2-3 setlist of Phish. If trey,john,mike,and page are all their it is bound to happen. Superjam in 2006 was great trey,mike, and phil on the same stage almost as good as Phish, and trey with that guitair with the antilope horns that was the highlight. 2007 superjam I have this hunch that trey will be on stage and play a setlist with his band, then page, mike, and john will pop out and put on a show that will make history. Or thats how I see it in my dreams. I saw Phish 12 times favorite was the Atlanta show that sold out and i jumped the wall of Hi-fi buys and saw the whole show even the first song willson FREE, and would really like to see a bonnaroo Phish reuion mabey even all 3 nights wouldnt that be the iceing on the cake. If they do show up I would look for these songs bouncing aound the room, tweezer, mikes song, timber, ghost,you enjoy myself, wolfman’s brother,reba,runaway jim, rift, and encore with weekapung groove. Please Phish we have waited long enough stop the rumors and play the music you know we all love. Peace Andrew

In my opinion if Phish is going to reunite they are going to do a short tour not just a couple of sets. They will probably stop at all their hot spots like Coventry, Brooklyn, Thomas & Mack Center, Hampton, Madison Square and maybe even Miami again. I think Phish is one of the most innovative jam bands of our time and we need them to jam out soon as possible because if they do so much positve energy will come out of that. All we need to do is get Trey out of the trouble he just got in and get Page and Fishman and Gordo back in the scene and we will have the greatest band of all time back.
much love, Paulo

let me some up what i think phish owes their fans.

After having the best times of my life at Phish shows since 88. I dont understand why they quit. None of the supposed answers make any sense. Sure everyone needs time off. We dont ask that they continue to tour year round. But why just cut us off like that. There is nothing I want more in the world right now then to see those four onstage again. I miss not having to think of what to do for new years. It was always phish. Miami is all I have to say for u people that say they lost their edge. As for Trey- he is still Trey. But for any avid phan we know whats missing. Summer, fall, or spring. PICK ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

ps always new years
