Trey Anastasio & TAB returned to New York’s Terminal 5 last night. Like all stops on Anastasio’s current tour, the show started with an acoustic set featuring solo versions of Phish songs like “Down with Disease,” “Wolfman’s Brother,” “Theme From the Bottom,” “Camel Walk,” “Kill Devil Falls,” “Meatstick,” “Halley’s Comet,” “Bouncing Around the Room,” “Cavern,” “Prince Caspian,” “Limb By Limb” and “Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan.” Anastasio played “Camel Walk” for Jon Fishman, who Anastasio siad called in the request from Morocco (Anastasio added the line “going downtown to Morocco” to the song).

Near the end of the set, TAB members Jennifer Hartswick and Natalie Cressman joined Anastasio onstage for “Wading in the Velvet Sea.” The entire Trey Anastasio Band then emerged for full band acoustic versions of the Anastasio/Tom Marshall originals “Heavy Things” and “Peggy” and as well as the group’s third take on OutKast’s “Hey Ya” (Anastasio played “Heavy Things” with TAB before performing the song with Phish).

Trey Anastasio Band’s electric set featured an eclectic mix of covers that ranged from The Band’s “It Makes No Difference” to Gorillaz’s “Clint Eastwood” and Toots & the Maytals’ “Sweet and Dandy.” The set came to a close with the band’s first stab at Jay-Z’s hit “Empire State of Mind” (though the group only sang the chorus and a verse of the song). Anastasio also name checked his new songwriter partner Amanda Green—who attended last night’s show—between versions of two songs from their new musical Hands on a Hard Body, “Burn That Bridge” and “My Problem Right There.” Like “Ocelot,” the latter song has now moved from Phish’s repertoire to Trey Anastasio Band’s canon.

The show came to a close with a cover of Dire Straits’ “Sultans of Swing.” Please click here for a recent interview with TAB keyboardist Ray Paczkowski.
