After performing at the Tribeca Film Festival and jetting over to Connecticut for a one-off show in New Haven, Trey Anastasio Band returned to the Big Apple on Sunday, April 28, for their first of two intimate shows at the Brooklyn Bowl.
A high-energy "Cayman Review" opened the show, followed by "Mozambique" as well as the first Phish offering of the evening, "Everything's Right." Later, the band closed the first half with "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," marking TAB's first version of the Charlie Daniels Band tune since May 3, 2017.
Set two kicked off with a funky "Sand" jam, and continued on with "46 Days." Afterwards, Anastasio shifted gears into the first-ever TAB version of "A Life Beyond The Dream," off his recent Ghosts of the Forest project. Early TAB cut "Simple Twist Up Dave" followed, as did "Ether Sunday" and "Ocelot," before a set-closing sing-a-long to "Tuesday."
Anastasio then offered a five-part encore, starting with solo acoustic takes of Phish's "Water in the Sky" and Ghosts of the Forest's "Brief Time," marking the first solo acoustic version of the latter.
The final solo acoustic tune of the night was fan favorite "Brian and Robert," and the full band returned for the TAB debut of GOTF cut "Stumble Into Flight."
A smile-inducing "Set Your Soul Free" closed the performance; Trey Anastasio Band will return to the Brooklyn Bowl tonight - Monday April, 29 - for another full show.
