Last week we filled you in on Trey Anastasio talking to Rolling Stone about his longing for the days of Phish. Specifically, Trey said:
When Phish broke up, I made some comment about how I'm not gonna go around playing 'You Enjoy Myself' for the rest of my life. And it's so funny because Fish and Mike and Page have been talking to each other a lot lately and now it's not that I can't believe that I said that, but its symbolic of how much I lost my mind or how much I lost my bearings or something. Because at this point in time I would give my left nut to play that song five times in a row every day until I die. I certainly thought about that while I was in jail.
Today we're here to report on Phish lyricist Tom Marshall speaking to Pop Matters in an article published yesterday (June 4) about the same issue. “Trey wants Phish to come back" Marshall said. Marshall explains that he's been writing and recording with Trey at his Rubber Jungle studios in Saratoga Springs, New York “for the past four months." Marshall went on to say: “I think if the stars align and everything works out there will be [a reunion]. I don't think they will ever be a huge touring band."
When asked about the songs he and Trey have been crafting, Marshall said: “They could take a left turn into the Trey Anastasio Band or a straight turn to Phish." With Trey set to perform at a few summer festivals including Rothbury, Newport Folk Fest and All Points West, fans are, well, foaming at the mouth with hopes of a Phish reunion. Marshall ends the talk by telling us, “No one wants Phish back more than Trey."
As you contemplate the possibilities, take a trip back to 1997's Great Went in Limestone, ME and dig into a lil' “Harry Hood,"... and yes, perhaps the time is approaching where you can once again feel good...
