Here is a note that was with the CD I got...
describing the 9/28/05 interview:
Playing the Butter Notes: My Afternoon with Trey
I\'m a Phish fan, a Grateful Dead fan, but more importantly a fan of music. I\'d seen Phish about 25 times over the course of their career - I wouldv\'e seen more but seeing the Dead were always my first priority. I was a bit nervous as I had heard that Trey was a tough interview, and I was told I had him for an hour, so I prepared for the worst.
About 15 minutes before he was supposed to show up I got the call that Trey was in the lobby. I went down to meet him, and he seemed...friendly and sober. We went upstairs to do the interview and he began talking to me about his upcoing tour and starting browsing my CD collection.
"Is this good?" he said, showing me my Sam Roberts CD.
"Yeah, he\'s great - he\'s this Canadian guy who\'s very Beatles influenced", I said.
"I\'m looking for some cover songs for the tour and I\'m not hip to music made, in like, the last 5 years...got any suggestions?"
After a brief discussion about music, I told him that music was my religion, and he said, "me too", and I began breaking out bands I discovered in the last 3 years and playing tracks from them for him. Trey would deconstruct them in his head as he heard them wandering around the room with a big smile on his face playing air guitar - this went on for about a half hour -I wondered if we would ever get to the actual interview, but he kept saying, "play me another one - this is good stuff you\'re giving me."
It seems he liked the Canadian artists right now and joked that he should do an all canadian artist cover set. He then told me he recently went to see The Arcade Fire and loved them.
"Any band that can have you singing along when you first see them has "IT""
I remember the feeling because at my first Phish show I remember singing along to Bounce Around the Room.
He then began a story about Jimi Hendrix, that he was well known for covering songs a mere two days after an album was released. I then turned on the mic and that\'s where we begin with him telling me a story about Jimi covering The Beatles right after the album dropped...
