“I eat way more Cherry Garcia than Phish Food,” Phish’s Page McConnell admits to us in a new interview. “I don’t know if that’s bad”

I was just talking to Trey, and he talked a lot about how great your playing was on this album.

I guess part of the big thrill for me is just that I’m given the freedom to do this. I have my own place. It’s not in a bigger studio, where you look at the clock, and you’re thinking, “OK, how many hundreds of dollars an hour am I wasting here trying to figure out this keyboard part?” I was just on a roll here with myself, and there were two different engineers that I worked with in my studio.

When I heard the album, I didn’t even know how much of it was recorded in the barn, but it just sounded like it was. I imagined standing outside and hearing it just blaring out, like you were playing a live set. I thought that the “Thread” jam was really strong afterwards. I remember really enjoying it, enjoying the jam, and enjoying playing that as well. It’s just fun when we’re together. The whole thing was kind of a standout.

He’s just putting out new songs every day. He was playing wine glasses along to a song. He’s using toilet paper for drums and stuff. He just said, “This is what I’m doing now, I guess.”Yeah, and anything you remember hearing for the first time being Trey playing it or something, and you being, “This is something that I haven’t heard you do before?”

But what ended up happening was the real influence that I felt when the Dead stopped was all the people that came to Phish weren’t there for the music. They were there to sell stuff in the lots and try to make money. It was a little bit of an ugly scene, sort of the darker underbelly of their scene just came over to our lot because it was the next lot. Not because they liked Phish.
