Pink Talking Fish played a series of cruises over the last 10 days that saw them collaborate with numerous guests and perform plenty of Floyd, Phish and Talking Heads favorites.
Kicking off on July 8 with NYC’s Rocks Off Concert Cruise, the band performed a pair of shows on the boat beginning with a full take on Dark Side of the Moon for the early show before the second set featured vocalist Elise Testone joining the band for Pink Floyd’s “Have a Cigar,” Phish’s “If I Could” and the Talking Heads’ “Take Me to the River,” “This Must Be the Place” and “Life During Wartime.” The 11 PM show featured the Turkuaz horns joining in for the entire show.
Fast forwarding to this past weekend, PTF embarked on Lake Champlain in Burlington, VT on July 16 for a two-set show that featured Alex Budney joinign in on bass for “Houses in Motion” in the second set.
On July 17, American Babies/Joe Russo’s Almost Dead guitarist Tom Hamilton joined the folf for “Pull Up the Roots,” “Young Lust” in the one set show that also saw PTF bassist Eric Gould welcome his daughter Zia Mei out on vocals for “Quinn the Eskimo.”
