Watch Trey Anastasio Hilariously Recount Meeting Graham Nash To Celebrate Nash’s 82nd Birthday

Graham Nash, the two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, turns 82 today. The former member of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young and The Hollies has had an impact on modern music as we know it, including on Phish‘s Trey Anastasio.

On October 16th, 2015, during a performance with the Trey Anastasio Band at the King’s Theater in Brooklyn, Trey took a little time to tell the crowd about when he met Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young back in the early 2000s. His recounting of meeting Nash is highly entertaining and was used as a segue into a cover of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young’s “49 Bye Byes”, which he said was the first time they’d played the tune live.

You can watch Trey’s anecdote and TAB’s cover of “49 Bye Byes” below:
