Trey Anastasio Explains the Origins of YEM 

I could listen to Trey talk for hours. Dude is awesome.

‘We didn’t sleep in a BED! for.... it was amazing’

As an Italian man it’s so good to know a fellow Italian dubbed the name to my favorite Phish song!!!

He reflects so fondly. This is how legends are made. I love it. Thank you Trey.

I love how 40 years later Fish still cracks him up that much

I love trey and phish so much they their concerts have given me some of the best memories of my life and I thank them for it.

Trey and Phish....you make me so happy. When I shared with the guy who was working in my home, that I was SO excited to be seeing Phish in Camden this tour, mind you, he is 20s..he said "Oh you're going to hang out with the Good People". And so the reputation precedes.....Was the best night I had in years.

God...how could you not love this man and Phish?

Thank you for giving us Phish! They really deserve their own 24/7 channel! I’m loving phish radio and the bunny!

Wow, he's showing age, which I guess means I'm showing age too. We grow old with our favorite band.

I can't wait to hear more stories like this one. Like their songs, I could listen for hours.

Oh Trey, you and the guys should never feel bad, or that you don't deserve the full extent of the pleasure that we've felt. I can only say thank you, whenever I danced with you guys, whenever I just got a full blown vacation in my mind listening to you guys. Even when I worked at the Bryce Jordan center catering you and your crew. Every moment was soul-tickling and wonderful. You enjoy myself and I enjoy every moment of you guys. Ha. Amazing, and thank you. ❤️

So cool! Awesome to see him talk about the songs and funny stories!

musically, the first part of YEM has J.S. Bach written all over it. I was listening to WQXR in NYC one day and a Bach piece was being played, and I was like "that's YEM note for note.

I want an interview with the Italian guy

This is the BEST story for the BEST song.

Very awesome!

fish is a great guy.hi trey,you happened to meet me many years ago.in howard beach.thanks for always being nice

tell me about broccoli rob's pipes though

Love it !!!

I just said "Wash uffitze drive me to firenze" to myself earlier today.

Legendary group!!!

Rip curveball man

Wow. Great story

So talented✌️his group, his music is best of best! He’s 🥵 redheads are fucking hot especially Trey!!! You could tell he plays music from his soul and I can’t get enough. You make my heart smile 😊

Too damn soon. Just got the alert this was up about 3 hours after the cancelled curveball. I look forward to watching this eventually...

“We slept together. It was hot.”

Did they overdub bongos or does that table just have great resonance?

This sounds like the work of Guelah Papyrus

aw man, im getting old. I hate seeing Trey get old.....tears

07/01/2014 My favorite Hood. Check it.

Harry Hood was partially written in Greece? That's pretty neat

Too bad curveball was cancelled. At least I got there and back home safe

How do you go from writing songs like that to these new songs?! They're all just too...safe..not stale but certainly not boiling hot. I'm not hating I just love a good music discussion with good people. I prefer to hear opposing opinions on this so feel free to share.

Barre vt was where we roll

How come YEM sounds like “Linus and Lucy” when he hums it out loud? 0:52

Guy has no clue what a flexatone is, laughs anyway as if he does, Trey explains what it is anyway.

Big red

If I ever meet Trey I’d say Hi, I really enjoy yourself…..

Im the guy from Texas.

My best friend and I relate to this story so much because we were hanging out with my best friends Andrew’s cousin named Patrick. And Andrew and I would always say “Enjoyed it” because we worked at a Chinese restaurant and the owner would always say “Enjoyed it” when she gave the customers their food. So one night we were hanging with Andrew’s cousin Patrick and my self and Andrew kept on saying “Enjoyed it” and at one moment of the night Patrick looked at us and said “that enjoyed it thing you guys say, it’s a really neat thing to say”

I thought they fired this guy over a year ago

Water you team in a bee hive ima sent you

2:36 the face of a liar

Love it! "Wash your face and drive to me to Firenze!" (Florence) :-). ??

looks like he needs to hydrate

You know damn well if u guys never met me there would be no phish yall my bros n always will be phish we were homies before the band existed

Maybe that dude can do a recap of this...that way he can repeat shit we already know.

The truth is Ernie Stires wrote this song, and Phish's parents purchased the song for their sons.

Thank you for the opportunity to not listen to some self righteous dope head that sells tickets to kids on nitrous and Molly. Literally all the fucking time.

He is straight up lying. Ernie Stires wrote it most of their other early songs. Sad that Trey is a pathological liar. The one guy from Texas is Trey, he isn't really from Vermont.

they sound like the Grateful Dead. They try to claim to be like a jam band but they just continue the saga of the Grateful Dead really.
