After blowing the minds of Phish fans on New Year’s Eve with the band’s first performance of the Gamehendge saga in 29 years, Trey Anastasio, author of said saga, took to social media to express gratitude for the many folks who worked tirelessly and in secret for almost an entire year to make the historic concert possible.
“Happy New Year 2024!” Anastasio began, punctuating his New Year’s greeting with a lizard and partying face emojies.
There are so many people to thank who poured their hearts and souls into this event. The plans to stage TMWSIY began almost a year ago in a coffee shop with my dear friend Lisa Shriver, and from there our amazing team grew and grew as the months went by, all the way up until the very last moment before we went onstage. I desperately want to thank every individual by name, though realistically it’s impossible-many names need to be left off the list due to the sheer enormity of the undertaking.
He went on to thank “all of the local crew, runners, receptionists, maintenance people, sound and light assistants, door people, everyone on the astonishing Phish crew, costume designing assistants, caterers, employees at the various rehearsal spaces we used over the last year,” and “the amazing MSG staff,” before concluding, “What a joy to collaborate on this scale. THANK you to the entire team!”

Next up for Phish is a trip to Mexico for four sold-out nights at Moon Palace Cancún, followed by a sold-out four-night residency at The Sphere, and the band’s first festival since 2015 in April. For more info, visit the band’s website.
