Trey Anastasio returned to SPAC for night two of three on Saturday. As on the first night, Trey was joined by the Rescue Squad Strings.

In addition to the string accompaniment, Anastasio was also joined by a very special guest. Towards the end of the second set, Trey casually welcomed Phish keyboardist Page McConnell to the stage and SPAC went wild.

Watch Trey Anastasio and Page McConnell Perform “Waste” at the Barn in Vermont

Last week, Phish members Trey Anastasio and Page McConnell shared some footage of them performing “Evening Song” from the famous Barn in Vermont. The surprise footage was beautiful and begged the question—was there more?

Last night, Trey released the second track from their session at the Barn—”Waste.” The beautiful interplay of Trey on the acoustic guitar and Page on the keys produces a near-perfect version of Billy Breathes track. Before launching into “Waste,” Trey asks Page “We haven’t done Waste yet?!” in disbelief which surely means that there are plenty more tracks from the session to come.

Thanks to Phish for the footage!

Listen to Phish’s Tweezer-fest at the Met in Philly – 12/3/2019 SBD

Phish continued their fall tour at the Met in Philly last night. The gig was announced after the initial tour was planned and was billed as an Sirius XM special event. Aside from being a free show and broadcast exclusively on Phish’s XM radio station, the show was remarkable because it’s the smallest venue that Phish has played in decades.

Approaching showtime, there were tickets being sold in excess of $1,000. To say this was a hot ticket would be an understatement.

Phish opened the show in true Phish-phasion with an acapella rendition of “Hello My Baby.” After the Phish crooned the final notes of the 100+ year old tune, they took their places and settled into their first of many “Tweezers” of the evening. In all, “Tweezer” made an appearance four times before the night was capped off with a “Tweezer Reprise.”

SET 1: Hello My Baby, Tweezer > Free, The Moma Dance > Tweezer -> Blaze On, Jesus Just Left Chicago, Kill Devil Falls > Tweezer > Ya Mar, Drift While You’re Sleeping

SET 2: Chalk Dust Torture[1] > Tweezer > Mike’s Song > Sparkle, Ass Handed > Weekapaug Groove, Miss You > Waves > Twist > A Day in the Life > Also Sprach Zarathustra[2] > More

ENCORE: Waste > Tweezer Reprise
