'Waste' – Page McConnell & Trey Anastasio from The Barn

[adamf.]

To be 19 years old, your whole life ahead of you, your parents still alive, you’re at a festival, your friends are just as beautiful and free as you are, the sun is setting, music pounding across the fields, every atom of the earth pulsing with potential, understanding nothing, expecting everything.

And then you wake up and you’re forty and just grateful that your depression seems to be under control.

I recorded a cover of this song and gave it to my wife as a Valentines day present. She passed this past March from pancreatic cancer. The most true love song ive ever heard.

I could close my eyes and go back to when I was 16 holding the love of my life and knowing this song would be our jam forever. 17 years later it still is

Trey's vocals have levelled up. He sounds better than ever.

[RustyCyler]

I'm 50 years old and Phish has been the soundtrack of my life since 1994. Thanks guys.

[avaciarvella]

I’m 13 and this is my favorite band. I was exposed to this at the right time.

[deweytucker]

I have wasted zero percent of my time watching this 1, 000 times. Tears of joy. Trey’s aged hands delicately telling the tale on an acoustic. Sheesh what a moment.

[DanLeRoy]

Phish wins the award for nicest tea sets of any rock band ;-D

[stevemonroe]

This is beautiful. I lost my brother 4 days ago. University of Vermont Class of 1989. To say that he loved Phish would be an understatement. This is rocking my world. Thank you. God Bless The Phish of Vermont and MJH. Rest in Peace.

This band got me through one of the toughest stages of my life- They were my anthem for overcoming addiction. Being a musician and knowing Trey's story, made them even more important to me. I even had a dream that I met Trey and asked for an autograph and he took a vinyl cover of "Joy" and signed it but instead of an autograph handed it back with the word ADDICT written but crossed out with a big X

[BDB]

If i could put into words how much more enriched, inspired, and joyful my life is because of you four I would. Words fail at that. A sincere ‘thank you’ will have to suffice.

[novakaya]

How beautiful is that Treys focused on helping others get clean now

We are so proud of you man. Love you brother

[buddypop]

Rick Beato brought me here. One of the what makes this song great episodes. Glad he did

[samhansenkg]

Whether the donkeys or elephants are in control, we still have Phish

[brianlorey]

I'm wasted drunk with a tear in my eye remembering how I would jam this on a smoked and drunk'n day in the Ozarks back in the 90s

[butterfly]

This was played at our wedding in 2016....the most beautiful song for the most beautiful day of my life ❤️❤️❤️

[guitarvocs]

My wife and I play in small vineyards and venues in central PA. We occasionally have fans of yours in our audience. She plays keys and I play guitar. We don't sound this good, but we feel this song to the bottom of our souls every time we play it. Thank you for writing it. Please don't sue us.

[joseysmith]

We're huge phish fans and I'm walking down the aisle to this exact cut in September 💕 it's been our song since we first met

[bensdemosongs]

Casual listener here. That was really nice! Vocals sound great.

[razorsfury]

I'm here trying to understand why anyone would downvote such a pretty song...
