Billy Joel = Phish not playing covers

[Gumbo72203]

So apparently Billy Joel made some snide off-hand comment to the MSG staff about Phish having booked MSG for new years.  I guess the story goes that he tried to book it in October and was told that Phish had it on lock.  And his response was something to the effect of them being a "no talent cover band".


So, now we have Tom Marshall's tweet about 4 nights of all originals, no covers, and no repeats telling Billy to stick that in his piano-man jar.


And then, we also have the Trey quote from Sunday "We wrote that" after the Set II intro jam.
