Is that every single one of them? No. Dave also joined Trey for a trip to Senegal as well as a Superjam performance in New Orleans back in 2005. Dave & Trey also played together at From the Big Apple to the Big Easy at Radio City Music Hall later in 2005 as well. Touring saxophonist of the Dave Matthews Band Jeff Coffin has also joined Phish once, during the second Bela Fleck & The Flecktones full-band sit in on 7/9/1997 (You Enjoy Myself > Ghost > Poor Heart). Tim Reynolds on the other hand, also currently touring with DMB, has yet to make it to a Phish stage – though Tim and Trey dueled many times throughout the Dave Matthews & Friends tours in 2003 and 2004.

  1. will always remember that Roseland Ballroom Trey sit in in ’95…solely because I had to leave 10 minutes before it happened. We had to catch our ride back to NJ (we were like 16), and woke up the next day only to see that the next tune after we left was All Along the Watchtower with Trey. That sucked.

  2. That 1-26-95 show is a huge throwback. My freshman college roomate had a bootleg of that show and we used to play that thing incessantly. Trey lets loose a bunch of times. Still sounds great.

  3. This is great. I have always loved the Little Birds with Dave and Roi and also that beautiful beautiful Maker from ’94. I’d love to see Phish release some of these, we were lucky enough to get that YEM with Boyd on the last Walnut Creek release

  4. Well done. The ’94 sit-ins and the Watchtower with Trey and Popper are both so epic. I expect Trey to sit-in with DMB this weekend, but am not expecting anyone in DMB to sit in with Phish (they’re recording for CBS Sunday Morning in NYC that morning and it’d be a bit strange to go back to Boston that night when they’re also playing the Beacon the next night). Unless Coffin just sticks around and the DMB performance is just without sax on CBS……

  5. It’s a shame that Trey was backstage all weekend at the 3 day DMB/PHISH Fenway 09 stint and Dave never bothered to ask him to come out and jam…He was probably afraid Trey would make his homosexual friend Tim Reynolds look like the second rate guitarist stuck in the 80’s that he is…Funny this “collaboration” collage starts with the showsDMb used to open for Phish at and at fenway DMB opened two nights in a row for them. This is coming from a die-hard Davehead from 95…first show was 1-30-95 but they have lost it…Roi is gone and they play the same songs every night. Phish made them look real bad at Fenway and continues to do so night after night.

  6. Dave and Friends was one of the best shows I have ever been to. Two of my favorite bands (and artists) that have such a friendship is truly awesome.
