He mentioned how thirty years after his death, Duane still had Gregg's ear. He told the story of being on tour and RedDawg, one of the original roadies was needling them about "taking it out", "damn, you got to take it out. If Duane was still alive...". Derek said that, "so one night we took it out, we took it way out!" Marc asks, "and everyone was on board with this?" Derek responds "No. not everyone", he says they're sitting in the bus talking about how much fun that was when Gregg comes in and says "alright who's the fucking Phish fan?" Trucks said he leaned into them which he usually didn't do and said "that was too much, that ain't what we do." and headed to his room. About ten minutes later Gregg comes back out and apologizes and says "my brother and I used to go round and round about this stuff, just play how you want to.", and heads back to his room. Derek laughs and says you knew that Duane had been chewing on Gregg. <br />I'm sure you've had plenty of conversations with those closest that you have lost. I'm sure Gregg will talk to Warren and Derek some as well. The good news is, that while we didn't know Gregg well enough for him to converse with us, he will always talk to us with his music.Guy Franzennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791496318819973464.post-39164963645139730962017-05-31T11:33:47.789-04:002017-05-31T11:33:47.789-04:00Yes, Kirk.
