Trey & TAB In An Empire State Of Mind
Trey and TAB returned to NYC’s Terminal 5 last night for an incredible two sets of music. New York was treated to several tour firsts in both sets. Trey wasted no time with the show opening “Down With Disease,” which even in its stripped down form had a power-punch to kick the night off. In a nod perhaps to the Middle-Eastern theme for the Phish Summer Tour video that was released earlier that day, Trey dedicated “Camel Walk” to Fishman who so happened to be in Morocco. Other acoustic highlights included “Meatstick” (played by request), “Cavern,” and the tour debut of “Peggy.”
The band returned for a hard-rocking electric set that featured several tour debuts including a extra funky “Burlap Sack & Pumps.” Trey’s new song writing partner, Amanda Green was present, prompting Trey to briefly promote the upcoming Hands On A Hard Body play they both were writing music for. After a nice run-through of “Burn That Bridge,” he played the first “My Problem Right There” of the tour — both tunes part of the play. The set was also sprinkled with a great choice of covers like an emotional “It Makes No Difference” and an appropriate “Empire State Of Mind,” which emerged from an ending “First Tube” jam.
I had a blast from the front row, and have included a slide show and some HD videos below. Enjoy!
