Trey Anastasio - "Back to the Phuture" article in July 2000 SPIN magazineI went online in a Phish chatroom once. I logged on as Crackhead and was talking about smoking crack with Trey backstage. And they were like, 'Bullshit! He doesn't do that!' and I was like, 'Yes he does.' And they were like, 'What was Brad Sands, Phish's road manager wearing?' and I said 'Red Shirt, black tie, standing over by the hors d'oeuvre tray.'

The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
Finding our words upsetting? I don't think so.
Why do you think they opened SB9 with Possum then follow it up with Peaches? They read the boards and they post too.
@AugustWest2001 - I think trey understands that the shear fact that a website, in fact many websites, exist only for commenting on something that he has created over 30 years ago is a compliment in of of itself.
However....
Why do people ever talk shot about what they love? Never got it.
all kidding aside...I wouldn't be surprised if they read these sites..not necessarily post...could explain the influx of Possums..especially the superball opener..
And when did hearing Possum ever become a bad thing? Sure, some versions may stand out more than others, but that doesn't mean that if they played it two shows in a row I would be complaining about it. I didn't realize it was annoying to listen to good music...
And for everyone who COMPLAINS about ANY element of a show has no right to have a good time at a live performance, because you are the person who would sit be the one saying "Ugh..possum again..." and then dancing your ass off at a show. You are a hypocrite. (And when I say "complain" I don't mean "critique"...everyone is perfectly welcome to their own opinion of a show.)
Stop focusing on how many times they play shit and enjoy the music!
Quite devine. Thank you.
I'm assuming you're referring to my post...just be advised, that I was not complaining about how many times they play a certain song...I was only trying to state that since this summer tour started, people have taken notice to Possum...maybe a little bit more than they have in the past...and that the point I was trying to make...was that since all this chatter about Possum, maybe someone in the band actually reads this forum, and noticed it too, and that's the reason why they opened up superball with it...that's all...no harm, no foul...
Sorry...
Peace
