They talked between songs about
Halloween, Utah, the media, and Red Rocks. Contrary to rumors, they did
not say that they were invited back to Red Rocks, they said that they would
LIKE to be invited back for a 5 night run, laughingly, because it was made
clear that they would never be invited back after the 1996 'non-event'
as Mike called it in the interview. Some banter included: "Radio will be
saved by playing more Phish" "I like radio...it's just bad music on the
radio that's the problem" – Trey."I think it's too late for commercial
success to ruin us...[laughs]..."I don't think we have to worry about that,"
said Trey.
