Trey Anastasio doesn’t look like a rock star. With his thick rimless glasses and flop of sandy red hair, you might say he resembles John Sebastian, but really, he looks like a mashup of Mike White and Jon Cryer and the filmmaker Chris Smith. He’s an appealingly ordinary shaggy-geek dude, like some guy you might share an office with in Portland.

Yet Trey Anastasio has sustained his career as (yes) a rock star in ways that defy all expectation. The band he leads, Phish, came together in 1983, and that takes them back to the formative moment of indie rock — R.E.M., U2, and so on. Phish, of course, picked up the long-jam, psychedelic-minstrel mantle of the Grateful Dead, and it’s worth noting that Jerry Garcia didn’t look like a rock star either — he was the grinning, pie-faced hippie Muppet of rock ‘n’ roll. But that...

Phish have staged plenty of ambitious moments during their 30-plus year career, from playing an hour-long version of “Runaway Jim” to suspending themselves above arenas in giant hot dogs. But nothing was more ambitious than their 2017 Baker’s Dozen residency at Madison Square Garden, when the band played 237 different songs, with no repeats, over the course of 13 nights.

The process of Baker’s Dozen was shrouded in secrecy at the time. But Between Me and My Mind, the new documentary about singer-guitarist Trey Anastasio, pulls back the curtain on the process.
