Official Recordings Of Trey Anastasio Solo Acoustic Shows Available

Earlier this month Phish frontman Trey Anastasio embarked on his first ever run of fully unplugged performances. Anastasio presented material from throughout his career as well as a few choice covers at three shows in the Northeast. Official recordings of all three shows are now available for streaming and purchase via LivePhish and the LivePhish app.

Anastasio began the brief tour on March 8 in Northampton, Massacusetts. Next up was a performance in Troy, New York on March 10. The finale took place in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on March 11.

Trey played a total of 65 different songs over the course of the run. He performed “More” at all three shows, while “Steam,” “Backwards Down The Number Line,” “Summer Of ’89,” “Wilson” and “Bouncing Around The Room” were the only tunes repeated at two of the three solo acoustic concerts. In addition to treating each of the capacity crowds to songs from throughout his career, Anastasio was in full storyteller mode each night. He told many tales each night and honored a number of notable figures with his stories including unheralded collaborator Scott Herman and late Santana percussionist Raul Rekow.
