** Trey ended Split Open & Melt with a speech thanking the Phish fans for being so cool and sharing the values of peace and love. He made several mentions to the "shit" that went down at Woodstock over the weekend, and was very passionate about the fact that the band is surrounded and apart of such an amazing scene.
