Trey Anastasio returned to New York City’s The Beacon Theatre on Nov. 20 for the penultimate installment of his ‘Beacon Jams’ livestream series. The show was highlighted by a stunning arrangement of “Harry Hood.” The guitarist has shared a video of the performance of the Phish staple.
The performance began with just Anastasio and the Rescue Squad Strings (Anja Wood, Rachel Golub, Katie Kresek and Maxim Moston). As the arrangement progressed, the rest of the musicians began to return to the stage; by the end of the song, the entire band was participating in a spirited jam. (The “rest of the musicians” in question were: bassist Tony Markellis, keyboardist Ray Paczkowski, drummer Russ Lawton, percussionist Cyro Baptista (who have appeared at each of the Beacon Jams shows), vocalist/trumpet player Jennifer Hartswick (who performed at the previous two Beacon Jams), vocalist/trombonist Natalie Cressman and saxophonist/vocalist James Casey.)
Anastasio returns to the Beacon Theatre stage on Friday, Nov. 27 for the final installment of The Beacon Jams. Tune in at Twitch.tv/TreyAnastasio.
Recently, Anastasio also shared a pro-shot of the lauded “You Enjoy Myself” opener from 11/13/20. You can watch that here.
Watch the “Harry Hood” below!

November 24, 2020 at 3:12 pmJeezee…whats wrong with …The chapter is coming to a close…Trey and the Beacon/MSG folks have agreed to an 8 show run…The final show combining next Friday. Please don’t tune in if you don’t care for it.
As with all musicians Trey had matured but he hasn’t stopped being innovative and he hasn’t stopped caring about his community. Our community…and..HEY…some of us are DAD’s now. Thanks Trey…Bring it on!

November 24, 2020 at 8:08 amI love to hear these new takes on familiar classics. Trey has energy to create music and he may not write songs like he used too he still makes joyful sound, sometimes, I mean when not playing Dad songs anyway. Haha

November 23, 2020 at 5:14 pmPlease Trey enough! Do you need the money or is your ego really that big? We no longer want to see or hear from you until the next PHISH tour….whenever that might be.

November 24, 2020 at 10:58 amVince is dumb. All these Beacon shows are all non profit fundraisers. You should keep Trey’s name out of your mouth.

November 24, 2020 at 11:58 amHey dummy, all these shows are FOR SALE on phish.com. The streams themselves are non-profit…the finished product is for profit.

November 24, 2020 at 11:19 pmWhat JIMKG is trying to say Vince is, be less stupid, stupid. “The Streams are free…but….Trey is money hungry.” You are an embarrassment.

November 25, 2020 at 7:06 pmDumb dumb, yes perhaps 10% tops of audio sales go to “Divided Sky Fund” …the balance Trey’s making money off, if you don’t think that’s the case you truly are a naive leftist lol!
Perhaps Trey can clarify?
Good night and thank you.
Close this chapter, please
November 23, 2020 at 4:29 pmThe Dad rock ballads and the strings are not Treys strong suit. Put a bullet in the chapter and let’s get back to rocking Phish. No more dad rock
It hurts so bad
November 23, 2020 at 1:21 pmMake it stop Trey. This run has shown how far you’ve regressed in playing and song writing. It’s really hard to hear the C team playing the A teams songs. So so lame

November 23, 2020 at 2:51 pmWhile a Phish show would be great, what Trey is doing every Friday night is yet another example of the gift he has… simply amazing! At 56, he is still weaving his craft, adding to an already incredible musical resume. Look back over his career, always growing always looking for the next challenge, never being lazy or relying solely on what he did when he was 20. Just too bad that this Friday is the end of another amazing chapter in his storied career… but I have no doubt he will soon have another chapter ready to go, thanks Trey!!!
