Love the way that trey talks about the audience. The phans. Such admiration for us listeners. Knowing the forums and talking and weighing how they played. He appreciates the dedication level we have for their music. Thank you Trey and Phish. Love it
Ya he shows that each time they fleece us with platinum tickets and charging us for streams 😂
He, and Phish, is a National Treasure! You can get that from this interview... Thanks for posting the long form.
This was such an excellent segment! Finally, something newsworthy! Fantastic piece, job well done !👍
Thank you Phish. You guys continue to bring so much joy to my life! Wasnt able to catch you guys this time at the sphere. Hopefully next go around! 😎
Watched the live stream of night 3 and the visuals were astounding. So was their playing. Being there in person must’ve been unreal.
Ik fr
It was absolutely astonishing. I am so grateful to have been there even if for just one night.
@@meganmclean9881 lucky!
There is no more enviable band history and journey that I can think of than Phish. What they have, and what they have accomplished is exceedingly rare and precious. Nigh unto impossible. But they seem to have been ‘blessed by God’, as it were.
What they have in each other, their music, their career and their fans is pure gold; as good or better than any other band I could think of.
The homespun, grassroots side. The aspect of how they’ve made their own way, separate from the machinery and trappings of the industry. Their inimitable craft as musical artists. Their pineal-gland-opening creative improvisation and deft spontaneity, as the quintessential jamband of choice. Their songwriting (2nd only to the Beatles in my mind). Their loving community of fans.
All of THAT IS SUCCESS!!!
Though little to no formal limelight accolades, awards, or recognition… though little to no airplay, Top 40 presence, or even familiarity… I can think of no other band who has been, or will be more “successful”.
Seeing them age gracefully just makes this phan feel at once: beyond proud of them, and grateful for them.
well said!
beautifully put
Their turning point was August 9 , 1995
Im sad that their music doesn’t resonate with me the way it used to, but I’m forever grateful for the experiences I’ve had because of their music and the adventures that came with chasing it for a few decades. I’m legitimately proud of them for continuing to do what they do.
Meaning…. You can never hear again what you heard from them in 1995-98?
@@mpow7153 Ha! Those are my years. First show year (95) and year I did Europe Tour (98). 99 I did all summer and most of fall, but I'll tell you, I saw them at Nutter Center (first time back since 97 for me), and they blew me away. These Sphere shows have been off the hook as well.
@@mpow7153 nice try. How about 1989 to 1999, feb 2003, summer 2004, and 2010 to 2013.
@@FlowerSupply420summer 03 jams were 🔥.
@@JBT42884 yeah, I hit Phoenix through Gorge, there were magical moments. But I feel like night to night wasn’t as consistent as Feb until they hit Burgettstown. And then I hit every single show from 11/28/03 to Coventry…12/1/03 and Miami stand up to almost any Phish ever.
But still, I only consider a period of Phish truly awesome if it’s 50%+ insane nights.
Mexico was indeed some of Phish's best playing
he is just the most likable guy on the planet.
Love this guy! Feel like I’ve known him (92’ first we met) like a dear old friend. I love that he knows us so well. Thanks fellas
Now I’m going to listen to the Mexico shows. I’m still blissed out from the New Years run. Being at the Gamehendge night was AWESOME!
get a life
Love Phish so much!!! The healing and pleasure they bring to their Phans and Supporters can not be understated!!! I honestly I want to run away with Phish and go on tour forever :) I am working on it ahah :) For now, I have to keep my job... :)
Was there for night 1, unreal, first Phish show, too!
Wow your phirst phish show
That is literally epic dude !!!
Hell of a first show!
What a great interview!
Trey is the sweetest human and I'm so grateful for all the effort they put into these shows and every show. That was me howling like a wolf last night (and at Dick's). You set my soul free last night. The dog licking was your best troll/gag ever. Keep doing what you do and ignore all the negative comments.
he's really not - he's a serial adulterer
This is really exciting for me.
No words for how much I love this man
Trey has come a long way. It makes me happy to see that he's at his best as he gets older. There were some big hurdles for him to cross, but he handled it with grace, and now he's in a good place. It still blows my mind how massive the Phish community is while flying under the radar for the most part.
So good..❤
I cannot fully describe how lucky I feel to have had Phish in my life for more than 30 years. They are part of my DNA. 🧬
I know!
I’ve been a big fan of them since I was 2 and now I’m 14
Steve I find it very unlikely you have slept with all four band members.
I went to a Phish concert in Raleigh back in...02? I ate shrooms and got lost in the bathroom. And chalk dust came on and I'm like get me the fk out this bathroom so I can go groove. There were so many ppl. Those were the days
Okay.
Those days are still happening.
That's hilarious brother
And this was the intelligent audience who he speaks of. 🧐
Not 02. They were still on hiatus then. Must've been 2003
Great Trey. Now I remember why I was supposed to be in Vegas. Doh!
I haven't been to that many Phish shows, 43 by my count and yes, they are definitely getting better and better.
I hope to see all of you in Delaware this Summer.
I’ve been seeing this band for 25 years and they are the ***best*** they have ever been. IYKYK
I completely disagree.
@@JBT42884you are totally entitled to your opinion. Having seen them in 98’ for the first time and after seeing over 150 shows- I’m entitled to my opinion as well.
Trey ❤❤❤❤ we love you PHISH!!!
I love the reef scene they did in Vegas at the Sphere.
Can’t fool me either Trey. Love ya ❤
The four Spheres of Earth!
Trey is asked to explain the band and he immediately talks about the experience/community and not the music.
Fascinating.
Everyone is welcome
As long as you give $1000 plus for a ticket.
He called Phish a place. Old home place. ❤
N2 was incredible
I love that at 4:59, "It's just what we do." Sum it up, Trey.
It's amazing how much Trey looks like the nun who taught me in the fourth grade. (Without the beard and mustache, however)
God I love that man. He cares so much
Excellent
An arena full of people at a Phish show have seen this interview and this channel has over 5 million subscribers.
Love Phish ❤
Love you ❤
Amazing human been... amazing band...!!!!!
Can you tell us the theme? “Noooooo…..” 🤣🤣🤣
Trey is the best
Chiming in from the comment section.
Where’s the full interview?
I wanna go…
Trey loves U2! I’m cool like that…
Trey is a Jedi
Most phan phriendly in the UNIVERSE lol
So much love ❤️❤️💜❤️❤️
Bethel in August!!!
Yay Phish
be cool if the 4 nites were available in vr.
I hate laser beams
🛸
Take your laser beams away
Why does Trey look like Bill Gates and Steven Spielberg?
idk Trey... the catalog has grown, you guys are killing it still and we all have grown together, but for me I'm looking for the flux capacitor to get me back to Fall of 95! Those were the days!
I feel what you're saying. I first saw Phish open for Santana. I left after Phish's set.
I never looked back from then on.
When Jerry passed away I was full on Phish shows. Still fantastic today. Kaboom 👊
10/31/1990, 11/27/1998
poor guy had no clue how to interview Trey. His boss handed him a piece of paper that said "Phish is playing the Sphere, its a big deal, they don't play the same show twice, Trey is a good guitarist. Go talk to him." lol
If the interviewer had a broad knowledge of Phish, he would have felt that he had to show how knowledgeable he was, and he would have done a lot of the talking. Instead, he asked very simple questions and let Trey talk.
Mr. Van Cleave does a fine job with this interview. He shuts up and lets the subject speak. That is not always the case.
This guy could teach classes to Jimmy Fallon, Howard Stern, Eddie Trunk or Oprah who inject their own silly agenda.
@@777jones yup. And he could show it to a whole lot more than just those 4, too
He did ask the right question, the first question trey and phish and team asked themselves: could they put on a great show with the visuals even though they don’t plan the shows out in detail
That Mexico CDT is pretty fire tho...
Can’t wait for Dead and Company!
Going next month so excited!
"Sometimes... Dead is Better"
Hay now, I'd rather see Phill & Phriends!
National treasure
Ok but how is this old lady in any way related to the band phish?
😎🤙
three people I cant fool is the greatest comment
Phish at gorge: special times
These four subsystems are called "spheres." Specifically, they are the "lithosphere" (land), "hydrosphere" (water), "biosphere" (living things), and "atmosphere" (air). Each of these four spheres can be further divided into sub-spheres. So we know now we are getting living creatures tomorrow almost for certain as the theme
But they have so many songs about People my wish list would be Hood but he was already played strangely because that is about milk not water but I guess technically there is water IN milk
Monsters Martian Monster BBFCFM Lizards The Sloth Suzy Greenberg David Bowie Runaway Jim Harpua Col Forbins>FFMockingbird Wombat Guyute The Squirming Coil Llama Spocks Brain Piper Vultures Sleeping Monkey Camel Walk Ocelot Birds of a Feather FEE I gotta have a FEE and ESTHER and GUELAH PAPYRUS most of all those 3 (no Possum Bug or Turtle in the Clouds not a big fan of those 3) We never got a ROUND ROOM or SOUL PLANET how is that possible after 4 shows at a place called the SPHERE is beyond me Trey did not want to be meta I guess
The tism is strong in you fellow Phishboi
Lol
The Land of Oz!
"how you 'tooted' it" 🤣🤦♂. Touted?
This was nauseating to watch.
They should play the sphere every year for 420
phish is the goat...prove me wrong
Hay now they ain't Jerry!
Why dose the interviewer have a soulless look in his eyes?
He looks like an NPC
Love you Trey!!!!. U2 is not good, sorry. Haha
This guy sounds like a Church Guru.
Is Phish the best band ever? They just might be.
Pretty Lights and Anti alias are gonna swirl it to the ground next year i hope!
If you need a percussionist (African Drums, no sticks, hands blazing) for your Vegas Shows, hit me up.
Beyonce ? Trey, come on!
Phish can be amazing its fun ,not spiritual like jerry Garcia show. I get the giggles at a phish show ,and tear up at dead shows.
I don't think any other band could do what Jerry Garcia and the Dead did. Phish has a lot of the same elements, but the Dead's magic can not be duplicated.
I think Phish got to Jerry's level a few times in their 40 year career but it was never their wheelhouse or their goal. I think they are absolutely a spiritual band, but not like Jerry. In many ways they surpassed Jerry but it was always with intelligence and grace. Jerry had a suicidal masochism that was the reason he became a martyr above the rest of his bandmates but also gave his music real true wild abandon. Trey dodged that bullet pretty early on, he was only on opioids/heroin for 6 years so the demons couldnt take hold of his core like they did with Jerry.
Jerry had the angel of death on his shoulder. He was marked from childhood with his missing finger. Phish is a celebration of life. I think theyre equally important and give context to one another.
Together with Miles Davis and Jimi I think Jerry and Phish represent the peak of all improvised music throughout history
@@newusernamehere4772you should check out Hindustani Classical Music and Karnatic Music for great improvisation
Im not into acting on stage such as NYE with the Gamehenge and thats too much. I am glad they push boundaries of rock and conciousness. If i want to see a play i will go to one. The clones were obnoxious during that NYE performance. The last good type of "play" was Halloween 2014 with the hauntedhouse. That was an excellent performance without people doing broadway.
💜🫡🎶
Its all too expensive these days. Phish ended for me in 2003 with IT
Most people know who Phish is.. even if they have never seen a show.. 🤷🏼♀️
Is Trey the son of Bill Gates? Are they related?
Name 1 Phish song.
Anyone?
I'll wait 🙎🏼♂️
Could they have found a less interested person to conduct the interview jesus he seems so disinterested and he has dead eyes
But what are his thoughts on military aid for Israel?
I was at hamton comes alive...phish sucks....they need drugs to really get ehat thry have and used Phish....now some good band s can play i like just hate their sound
I think he overestimates the intelligence of his audience and for a moment he thought he had more sold out shows at MSG than the Piano Man.
Phish are just so boring, they have zero grit . It's all the same, not a real singing voice in the lot to boot.
Cult leader?
Who actually listens to Phish
Phish sucks.
PRIMUS sucks
@@BAGAKOOS yeah that's great and all but i'm not joking.
As long as you feel better for having gotten it off your chest then I guess I'm happy for you :) I am well aware that Phish is not for everyone. I will say that I would never dream of going and posting something negative about any band ever in an internet forum, but those are two things we don't have in common. Love and light to you!
This is objectively false
Wrong!
