Trey Anastasio led his solo band back to The Tabernacle in Atlanta this past weekend for a two-night run at the venue where the Phish frontman and his band recorded their 2010 live album, TAB at the Tab, and each of the performances included TAB debuts of tracks fro Anastasio's recent Ghosts of the Forest project.
First up on Friday evening was GOTF track "About to Run," which Anastasio and company played for the first time. The guitarist previously toured his Ghosts of the Forest album with a band featuring TAB staples Jennifer Hartswick, Tony Markellis and Ray Paczkowski. Friday's show also included the first TAB cover of Billy Preston's classic "Will It Go Round in Circles" since December 2006.
Night two closed out TAB's Tab run with live favorites like "Alaska," "Sand," "Rise/Come Together," "Ghost" and more, along with the first TAB rendition of GOTF tune "Friend," one of the project's more pointed references to the passing of Anastasio's friend Chris Cottrell, a major influence on the record's tracks.
Check out both full setlists below. TAB are off the road until reconvening at Peach Music Festival in late July, while Anastasio will kick off Phish's summer tour dates next week, beginning with two shows in St. Louis June 11–12.
