Wouldn't want to hit Trey with an intense interview but I'd be interested on his personal perspective regarding responsible drug use at shows.....probably not time or place, and frankly I wouldn't put it in print. "Does responsible drug use have a place at a live Phish event?"Most importantly I'd like to know what he does to keep himself mentally and physically happy.

Ask him if he feels like there's a jamming "theme" that he feels like Phish has moved into since the hiatus. What kinds of conversations does the band have these days about jamming? "Tonight, let's go type II with Chalkdust...Mike, you're going to lead the Ghost jam tonight...Page, I'm really digging the spacey themes, lets try to move more in that direction tonight, first set"
Does the band review its own shows together after playing them? where does he see the "sound" going in the immediate future? What would he like to experiment with?

At the Neil Young benefit, Trey told the audience that seeing Neil and Crazy Horse in 1994 in Lille, France was one of his top 3 all time musical experiences. I would love to ask him what are the other 2 on that list!! Good luck with the interview.

@RovingReporter said:Yes, she is Dan's daughter.So, after bugging the hell out of RLM, Ambrosia Healy specifically, I was given an interview with Trey for his Syracuse show. I've interviewed him before, but with the premise that Phish does not come up.Any relation to Dan?
This time, however, there are no stipulations. I am asking the people of .net what kinds of things they would like to know from Trey. I am doing a story for a magazine, a newspaper and an online news outlet.

I'm definitely most interested in the jamming questions people have posted. Are they really just going on "feel" for the most part, or are they consciously deciding to stretch a few songs ahead of time?
Score: 2
Please ask him how it feels when he walks on stage and the crowd roars. IT would also be great to know how or what he's thinking when the band hits an undeniable high or gets super locked in during a jam. Or how they communicate during jams like what direction they are going to go is it, verbally, looks or gestures or just listening to each other? I would love to know how it feels to be completely locked in and what is going through his mind. Also, what's going through his mind during shit jams. Thanks!

Great question. I wonder if focusing on the Bethel Waves soundcheck might be the subtle way into the subject. "How aware are you guys when fans freak out over a soundcheck, like... oh... Waves?" @sirhotpants said:
Ok, so I've had this thread festering in the back of my head for a few days, and here's what I'd love to know:
How democratic is the act of rip-cording when a jam could potentially stretch out longer, and in what ways have the band's overall setlist/playing/jamming philosophy changed from the 1.0 & 2.0 eras to the 3.0 era? I'd sort of like to know if they have some kind of signal (like when they'd say 'hey' during their old band practices) that lets the others know, 'dude, we're starting to sound too self-indulgent here, let's play another song.'
**I would ask this as tactfully as possible because I truly love how tight they've been playing since the '09 return. I've had the best times at shows in the last few years! Still, one of the most frequently mentioned issues around here is how fans would dig some deeper exploratory improvisation. Think of how much well-deserved hype the Bethel 'Waves' got last summer, and how the most popular show this summer was the FYF show--not just because of the setlist-spelling gimmick but because they wailed out 'Chalkdust', 'Carini', 'Jim', and 'Undermind.' Moments like that indicate that they could let their improv meander more loosely, but they choose not to. When they do it's that much more of a treat, right?

I am speaking with Trey on Wednesday from 1 p.m. to 1:40 p.m. over the phone. Trust me, you will all get a thorough report.Remember, this is a preview/feature about his show at the Landmark Theater in Syracuse. It's not a story about Phish, so the Phish questions will be limited to follow-ups to his answers to my questions. His manager/press person has stressed that he does not want to get into a huge discussion about Phish.
HOWEVER I will without a doubt ask about the Tweezer Reprise singer. She was amazing, and I have to ask if Trey will bring her on board with TAB, as I felt her voice was powerful and amazing.

I would be interested to know if there are any plans to release guitar tab books for the earlier Phish albums (Junta, Lawn Boy, Picture, and Rift) or any of the other Trey albums (besides just the debut). Or better yet, tab/full scores for live shows.
I know Trey has distanced himself from guitar magazines & his guitar god status, but seeing the 4/21/93 Split jam mapped out on paper still amazes me...
Good luck with the interview!

As the father of 2 beautiful girls with Down syndrome I was wondering specifically about the 12/30/2003 Miami show with P Funk. There was a young man with Down syndrome dancing on stage and, for whatever reason, security escorted him off the stage. Trey stopped playing, and went back to bring the kid back on stage to enjoy himself while the band continued to rock out. Does Trey have any friends or family who have Down syndrome or is he simply a kind and understanding person who respects people of all abilities and understands the power of music and what it means to his fans?
See you at the Landmark!
