Phish’s Wild Backstage Scene

Today, I collected a bunch of bits and pieces, but free time is in tight supply. Here’s an excerpt from a nice AP story on a certain quartet from Vermont:

That means lots of kids backstage — seven in the Phish family so far, most of them on tour — and not so much the hundreds of hangers-on who had snowballed out of control through the years. As Anastasio likes to point out, there were 3,500 people on the guest list at their “farewell” show in 2004. At the reunion show this year, there were 10 — “and seven of them were under the age of 13.”
