Yeah the compressor story is cool. Those things are $500 now because they dont make them and you have to track them down on ebay. When they did that, he was like 'now I'm kind of nervous, I really didnt think people paid attention that closely.'

The fact that he doesn't think people pay attention that closely is really cool too. I often wonder about that with musicians, actors and other entertainers, do they realize how much they are revered and how much they're studied? Especially the really great ones. I imagine that they don't, because they are so deeply engrossed in their work. Trey seems cool.

Yeah and when asked about the grateful dead relation, as he's been asked in just about every interview, he's not smug or in denial. He gets it and gives props. The more interviews i dig up on him and Jerry, the more i think there needs to be more musicians like them out there. Like this one too

I met Page once, at the Majestic Theater just before a Vida Blue show. He just came outside and started striking up conversations with people waiting in line to get in. I think all the Phish crew is pretty humble and easy to talk to.
