Interviews: Billboard Q&A – Trey Anastasio [Billboard]

When you made the decision to reconvene, how long did it take you to recapture that chemistry that’s so productive?

I actually do remember having a dinner at a restaurant, the four of us. We hadn’t all four of us been alone together in a number of years, and sometime during the dinner I went to the bathroom to call my wife and said, “I understand what’s so special about this band just by the way we’re speaking to each other.”  There’s such a level of communication and mutual respect that was evident before we ever even picked up the instruments again.
