"Truly an epic piece of work. I hesitate to use that overplayed word -- but in this case it's true."
- Tom Marshall
 
"an unmatched effort on behalf of a single band's musical legacy. ... The Phish Companion isn't just a document of Phish history but an essential part of it."
- Parke Puterbough, in Phish: The Biography
