Lovely interview. Trey is so articulate and intelligent I wish he would do more longform interviews like this. He has some killer stories.

Man! I just so admire this guy! His approach to music and the whole concert experience for the fans is just brilliant.

Lazy Lightning, you really deliver the best Phish Vids. Thanks again.

Thank you for posting this. And for posting everything else. Many of us, like me, have been silent beneficiaries of your commitment. Thank you LL55A!

I flew into NO,LA for the jazz fest. I had real long hair ,tye-dye t-shirt etc. and the guy sitting next to me on the plane saw me and asked, are you going to see the phish . I told him that I was a deadhead and that I hated the Phish. He laughed and told me that he was Trey Anastasio's father.

Out of SO MANY great ones, Trey is my musical hero

Thank you for sharing this! An awesome revisit in its entirety.

Trey is a virtuoso with an incredible work ethic. This is why working musicians and songwriters like me admire him.

TOTALLY AGREE ABOUT FISH BEING THE BEST DRUMMER OUT THERE!!!

Thanks for posting! This was such a treat.

Thank you so much for posting this ! Been waiting to see the video

Wow this is a real gem. Thank you so much for recording it!

Thank you for posting tbis👍👍👍

Such a wonderful interview. I wish Alec didn't interrupt at 42:24. Trey was talking about how his parent's divorce caused him to seek intimacy and connection with others at time when he was a confused 15 year old kid. That obstacle led to the songwriting sessions that continue to this day as well as the cohesion the band continues to have after 40 years together. I've been a voracious phan since 91, and I have never heard this story. Does anyone know more about this? I will definitely use this as a teaching lesson for my students. How we deal with adversity can become our superpower.

Jerry Garcia was asked who his favorite guitar player was, and without hesitation Jerry replied Steve Kimock. I'm pretty sure if Jerry was alive today, and he was asked the same question. He might answer Trey Anastasio. Interesting to note that Steve Kimock's son John Kimock has been touring with Mike Gordon sometimes and really killing it.

Thanks for sharing this!!!

Thanks for this!

Such complicity between Trey and the audience.

+36:45 when someone in the crowd helps Trey remember what three songs he wrote with tab is everything

Great post! Thanks

Trey is a great story teller.

Trey was the “glue in group” for the Dead because Phil Lesh would only do the shows if Trey was involved.

Take me back to 2015 before everyone lost their minds

RIP, Bill. Love you forever.

I was at that Bonnaroo and it was great!

Trey The Reluctant leader. God damn, I hope I get to hug this guy sometime.

I liked how early in the interview Trey made a point to talk about Tom Marshall and how important he is to Phish as a whole.

Thanks! U the best!

16:25 "kill it"

People brought together by music. Trey’s got it right.

Welcome to the Alec Wilkinson show featuring Trey ..........

Thank you lazy. You are the best.

gosh i love trey.

Thank ya !

fantastic

Anyone know that song he plays around the 45 minute mark? He mentioned it was coming out on the "new album," which I assume was Big Boat. Must have been a shelved track? Can't recall hearing it live either.

Trey needs to play with JRAD sometime

Trey I’m in the obx once a year, lmk next time you go bro 😎 lol

Hey hey hey, who knew... Trey doing stand-up comedy. Hahahaha! Good work and good day, at a man, boy, God, shite.

Damn Trey had to redo the 10th grade? Im really surprised to hear that. Hes a smart guy, I feel like he would have been able to squeak by with minimum effort at least. So he did 5yrs of HS then still went off to college. I never knew that.

I think that is a Big Boat Out take in there?

How I love this interview. Trey talking about Jerry Garcia is the best thing. I could hear him talk about Jerry all day.

Anyone point out where trey talks about billy k running the show at fare thee well?

Bobby always wants it slow.

He is like if a regular guy, Einstein, Zappa, a saint, robert hunter and Bartok somehow had a son.

Lazy Lightning you need to let us know which shows on the Summer tour you will be at so we can all buy you a beverage 😂

get em trey

Chinietzche bwahahahahaah that is f’n hilarious

Lotta words

Nice symbol for the festival..mason style ..trey how is Mk ultra bro ..smoke up hippies

Woody Guthrie's children's record is great by the way.

Yeahhhh!!

FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sad thing is we never got to see Trey play with Jerry. The happy thing is we did get to see him play with Carlos Santana... and Neil Young... Sadly trays performances with the dead are a little bit forgettable. I mean he did a good job. But it just didn't really vibe. Probably because they didn't rehearse enough together as a band. He was just thrown into that situation the way it sounds he did his best and he did a great job.

Can we get this reposted with the audience silenced?

I always forgot how phish fans have an annoying habit of howling and clapping at even the most innocuous things Trey says.

I am a BIG Phan of Phish but it’s unfortunate that Trey did an interview with the ultra liberal New Yorker. #VoteTrump2024

Classic how he implied that the dysfunction of the surviving members really made him appreciate his band. That must have really given him a reality check and a grateful feeling that phish are so cohesive and they're nearly always on the same page. Love the Bill Walton references. Big Bill is a huge phish Phan as well as a deadhead. Love the phish community
