Trey Anastasio Band – Fox Theater – Oakland, CA – March 5, 2011
Every Friday Oakland Jam Bands Examiner gives readers a free “live and legal” music download suggestion, pulled from a variety of shows in the Bay Area.
This week’s live and legal download is Trey Anastasio Band at the Fox Theater in Oakland on March 5, 2011. Playing to a sold out crowd, Anastasio brought back the original members of TAB for a two set, three-hour, musical magic carpet ride.
The Trey Anastasio Band show at the Fox Theater ended the band’s 12-date Winter tour. The set list was a mix ofPhish favorites and some interesting covers including an acoustic version of Outkast’s “Hey Ya!” and the Gorillaz’s “Clint Eastwood” with Jennifer Hartswick nailing the rap.
Oakland fans had to be ecstatic with the energy of the show and how relax Anastasio appeared on stage. The 2011 Winter Tour was the first time the classic TAB lineup of Hartswick (trombone, vocals), Russell Remington (tenor, saxophone, flute), Natalie Cressman (trombone, vocals), Russ Lawton (drums), Tony Markellis (bass, vocals) and Ray Paczkowski (keyboards) played the West Coast since 2008.
The show was divided into an acoustic and electric set; the first time this format was used since 1999. There was a rad acoustic version of “Down with Disease” and “Strange Design” among the 13 song set. Most Phish fans are used to hearing the songs only performed with a full electric band, so the acoustic set produced some new adaptations.
Anastasio’s electric guitar came out for the second set rocking out “Sweet and Dandy” and ripping on “Show of Life.” The 14 song electric set was another mixture of Phish, TAB and Trey’s solo work. For the encore, the band chose Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog.”
Trey Anastasio Band at the Fox Theater is available for free download on bt.etree.org and other sites. Remember that the music is free to swap and share, but illegal to sale. There are a couple of good sources for the show so remember to seed, seed, seed.
