Trey & TAB Light Up New York With Explosive Set
Right from the start, we knew we were in for a hell of a night. Trey and friends hit the stage around 8:15pm, all with huge grins and ready to rock. Launching into “Shine,” the tone was set. Set one was just one powerful jam after another. Trey took a moment to introduce Natalie Cressman, the latest member of TAB, before going into an extended “Mozambique.” After “Night Speaks,” the band left the stage, and Trey picked up the Martin. What followed was a nice camp-fire sing-along of Phish classics, with Trey strumming along acoustically…definite high point.
Set two opened with a nice funky Sand to get everyone back into dance-mode. “Sultans of Swing,” was another highlight, with Trey cracking up as the horns took over the solo at the end. “Ether Sunday” and “Black Dog” made their tour debut, with the latter featuring the magnificent vocals of Jen Hartswick. To encore, “Magilla” and “First Tube” were played, with Trey in a USA jersey thrown to him earlier in the night. What a great night.
For your pleasure, I’ve included several HD videos I shot from the front row. I hope you enjoy.
