A look at last night’s show via Trey Anastasio’s official Facebook page

Trey Anastasio kicked off his first-ever orchestral tour at Atlanta, GA’s Atlanta Symphony Hall last night. The brief outing is the culmination of the Phish guitarist’s symphony work over the past eleven years. Anastasio’s first official orchestral collaboration was with the Vermont Youth Symphony in 2001. Anastasio has shared the stage with Orchestra Nashville, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic since that time.

Anastasio has steadily added Phish songs, solo material and other songs to his orchestral repertoire at each engagement. He’s also used his orchestral work to showcase some number that have fallen out of Phish and Trey Anastasio Band’s rotation like “Time Turns Elastic,” “If I could,” “Let Me Lie” and “Inlaw Josie Wales.” During his encore last night, Anastasio also debuted his orchestra version of The Beatles’ Abbey Road suite (Anastasio played an electric version of the classic suite with 70 Volt Parade a few years ago). The Phish classic “Stash,” which Anastasio performed with the Scorchio Quintet in 2010, also made its formal symphony debut, and the Bar 17 gem “Goodbye Head,” which the guitarist played with a string section during a solo gig, was performed with a larger orchestra for the first time.

Anastasio’s symphony tour will continue at Pittsburgh, PA’s Heinz Hall on Valentine’s Day.
