Phish reunites at Jammys, kind of
Phish reunited on stage for the first time in nearly four years during last night’s Jammy Awards at Madison Square Garden in New York. Well, technically. While all four members of the popular jam band appeared on stage together to accept a lifetime achievement award, to the disappointment of some, the band did not take part in a musical performance, nor gave any hints as to a possible future reunion.
Guitarist Trey Anastasio, bassist Mike Gordon, drummer Jon Fishman and keyboardist Page McConnell were cheered wildly as they reunited on stage.
“I’ve always wanted to somehow have a moment when I can convey to some degree what all of this meant,” Anastasio said as he accepted the award. “It’s an honor and I feel such gratitude. I was honored to watch everybody dance.”
