Trey Anastasio continued his solo acoustic tour on Oct. 23 at Canton, Ohio's Palace Theatre, with the first acoustic "Alaska" since its 2008 debut.
Anastasio opened the show with another solo cut - "Snowflakes in the Sand" - and at one point chatted with the crowd about his affinity for the Talking Heads, pleading with them to reunite.
The aforementioned "Alaska" bustout occurred mid-way though Anastasio's single set and bled nicely into "Chalkdust Torture." And while T.A.B. played a plugged-in version of the tune as recently as August 2019, the last acoustic version of "Alaska" came on 7/6/2008 at the Rothbury Festival, which would later be known as Electric Forest.
Anastasio ended his Ohio outing with a four-part encore of "Strange Design," "Shade," "Wilson" and "Say It To Me S.A.N.T.O.S."
In other Phish-related news, the quartet just announced an intimate SiriusXM/Pandora gig at The Met in Philadelphia, marking one of their smallest shows in over a decade.
