Carlton Nelson I think that's because in allot of his early songs, Trey admits to not giving the lyrics a whole lot of thought or emphasis. "Stash" would be a perfect example. Incredible composition, nonsensical lyrics.

Man, all your fans love you Trey, myself included. How rad is it that this dude beat that whack addiction and came back to be able to play even better then before. Phish are such rad dudes, here's hoping they play for another twenty years. Summer of '89 gives me the tingle-shivers. Did you ever see the video of Trey playing acoustic in some nowhere place in 2005 or something...he was sick, dope sick, and playing bad...it was a dark time...but here he is, healthy, happy, playing well, the fans and his friends and family, we're all so blessed to have our dude Trey back on track and hitting the notes perfectly and fuck yeah, we love ya Trey!!!!

How Trey (& Phish) is omitted from just about every "top guitarist", "top rocker", "top songwriter" list is beyond me. He is one of the most prolific writers & genuine performers, blending so many genres and styles into a truly unique sound that resonates with my soul like no other frequencies. Follow his chord progressions, melodies and harmonics from Gamehendge into the Ghosts of the Forest and tell me you didn't find new pieces of you along the way. Conjuring profound curiosity, adventure, soul-seeking journeys, playfulness and above all love, Trey's themes continue coming full circle layering back moments, memories and provoking dreams that don't exist.

@@likeachimney I've met him 1 or 2 times. I'm only 23 so this was all 3.0 era, the first and most lengthy time was in 2009 after his memorial show for his sister at Carnegie hall in NYC. Waited outside the back door at the age of 13 until he came out to leave and he took the time to talk to everyone, take photos, sign things, etc. it was a somber event for his sister's death, but he was patient even after the stress and ordeal of playing a live show in a venue such as that. Everyone has bad days, everyone has dark days / years, times of misleading lifestyles, etc. But trey seems to me to be a kind soul, a genius artist and composer, and when you look at his actions and efforts over the 30 year career he's had - it seems hard to me to believe anything other than his "intent is for our delight."

I was at a little party during the summer of 94' when a guy put the album "Rift" on the CD player. It was the first time I had ever heard Phish. Though I don't remember the guys name, or even what he looked like, I can remember the first time I heard the band. I became and ardent fan. I would listen to them compulsively for the next 6 years, seeing them in 95 and 96 in Vancouver and then 5 times in short succession on the 1998 European tour (2 shows in Prague and 3 in Barcelona). The last show I ever saw was July 10, 1998 @ the Zeleste nightclub in Barcelona. Like Trey I am continually influenced and interested in new things. I listen to Phish for about 3 hours a YEAR now. I rarely focus my attention to one band for any length of time, rather always seeking out new sounds. That said, I do listen to a lot of Louis Armstrong. Seems like I always have, and always will. I am reminded of Phish this week as I was spending time with them during this time 17 years ago. This is a wonderful video and it is a joy to see Trey sharing himself with us. I will always be grateful for Trey and the rest of the band sharing their music with me.
