Can You Be a Casual Phish Fan?

Just because Phish got shunned by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year doesn’t mean they’re not one of the most influential bands in rock. In fact, more than 329,000 fans voted for their induction! And Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio has led those legions for over four decades.

In this episode, we’re talking Trey and Phish, including how they sound more like Zappa than the Grateful Dead, what it’s like to see them live, and whether they’re a love/hate band or there’s room to be a casual Phan. Plus, at last year’s NAMM Show, both hosts spent some time with a new Languedoc build, so we’re talking about what it feels like to play one of Trey’s guitars, and we do an informal rundown of his rig.
