The Trey Anastasio Trio kicked off their first show since 1999 in Cleveland this week. The paired down rendition of the Trey Anastasio Band includes bassist Tony Markellis and drummer Russ Lawton. The reason for the skeleton crew is that TAB keyboardist Ray Paczkowski is recovering from surgery to remove a brain tumor.
Despite the 19 year gap between shows, the trio sounded sharp and raring to go. The two sets included healthy doses of TAB and Phish tunes. Trey took the lead where Page or the horns would usually solo. While Trey was at the helm on most solos, Tony and Russ kept the groove going, especially on tunes like “46 Days.”
The trio continues their tour tonight in Chicago with the first of three sold out shows.
