Dave Matthews Band Welcomes Trey Anastasio On This Date In 2001

On May 19, 2001 Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio sat-in with the Dave Matthews Band for the first time in over six years. DMB had brought their Spring/Summer Tour to the one-year-old Pacific Bell Park in San Francisco for the second of two consecutive shows at the home of the Giants which is now known as Oracle Park. Trey came out in the middle of the Dave Matthews Band’s set for a phenomenal “Lie In Our Graves.”

Anastasio went toe-to-toe with former DMB fiddle player Boyd Tinsley for a scorching call-and-response segment during the 17+ minute rendition of the Crash track before delivering a beautiful guitar solo. Videographer ChesterCopperpot5 shared the best footage of the sit-in to surface since it went down all those years ago. While it’s still fan-shot video and there are occasional heads that get in the way of the action, it’s well worth checking out:
