"I felt like a high school basketball player playing one-on-one with Michael Jordan," says Trey Anastasio, whose band, Phish, was joined by BB King at its East Rutherford, New Jersey, tour stop. King and Phish jammed on three tunes, including a twenty-three minute rendition of Memphis Slim's "Every Day I have the Blues" and a steaming version of King's "The Thrill Is Gone."
"I can't believe it even happened," says Anastasio. "As a guitar player, he's at the top of the pyramid." Ten days earlier in Los Angeles, Phish had celebrated their first ROLLING STONE cover by playing Dr. Hook's "The Cover of Rolling Stone."
"There's some great lines in there," Anastasio says. "'A lotta little teenage blue-eyed groupies who will do anything we say' - you've got to love that."
