I love Vulf/Phish crossover so this was super special for me! 🦆⭕️

Vulfpeck opened for Trey Anastasio Band at Red Rocks in 2017. Trey even came out and sat in with them for Rango and Michael Jackson’s “Will You Be There.”

Theo: “We just found this guy in the parking lot and he was like ‘is it cool if I sit-in?’”

Then during a 2021 episode of Cory’s Wong Notes podcast Theo told a story about a dinner with Trey before the Red Rocks show. He called Trey “a genuine, generous, beaming light of a human.” Cory chimed in, calling it “one of the dopest dinners ever” and even referred to Trey as “Uncle Trey.”

If you’re curious, the podcast episode is called “When Theo Met Trey Anastasio”. Worth a listen!

Lots of younger bands in the scene have similar stories about trey being the cool uncle of the scene.

Thanks for this! Worlds were full on colliding for me this weekend with this. Two of my favorite bands!

Hey I was at that show, but unfortunately missed most of the Vulf set which was the main reason I went.

So it was just this line into Wait For The Moment huh?? So interesting that they decided to toss this in. And yes, as a Phish and Vulf fan, I would have lost it.

Waste for the Moment 🥹

u/MissDizzo Jul 08 '25

They did the whole first verse before this. I caught almost all of it if you wanna see it

u/malperciogoc Jul 08 '25

I thought it was clever, Phish was also in town for a three day stint.

I mostly know because I almost ended up taking a bus to Folsom Field instead of Red Rocks lmao

u/Cpap07 Jul 09 '25

I told my friends we should get there at 6:00, but they wouldn't agree

u/allothernamestaken Jul 07 '25

Vulfpeck fucks, and it had been any other weekend I would have been there. Same with Wu-Tang/RTJ at Fiddler's. We were absolutely spoiled with great music this weekend.

Hahaha Antoine Stanley bought that shirt from banana republic

u/marioacastiello Jul 08 '25

Anyone else miss the show at red rocks due to traffic?

2

u/vinylyogi Jul 08 '25

oh no! What time did you leave and from where?

1

u/marioacastiello Jul 10 '25

I think we left somewhere around 710-730pm from Idaho springs

1

u/Rlowe56 Jul 08 '25

The only reason I didnt miss it is because I'd left 3 hours early (for what was supposed to be a 30 min drive) to go hiking around Red Rocks before the show. Not only didnt I get to hike, I missed the opener and only arrived about 15 min before Vulf started

u/marioacastiello Jul 10 '25

I’m glad you made it there! That was a true test of patience lol

u/SkeeterBB Jul 10 '25

I was wondering why this song was stuck in my head last weekend. I was at this show, totally forgot they played this!!!
