Trey Anastasio is not any stranger to the Tiny Desk, having carried out a solo set in 2015. Bassist Mike Gordon and drummer Jon Fishman additionally carried out for our Tiny Desk (residence) live performance collection in 2020 with guitarist Leo Kottke. And now, lastly, we get a full Phish Tiny Desk live performance.
The set started with “Sigma Oasis,” which included somewhat musical reference to the All Issues Thought of theme track. The band continued with “Evolve,” a monitor from its sixteenth studio album launched final week. Earlier than the band’s ultimate track, Anastasio and Gordon warmed up their fingers on tiny trampolines, which doubtless had the uninitiated scratching their heads. However for followers of this band, it was a transparent sign of what was coming subsequent: “You Take pleasure in Myself,” a track that dates again to the band’s beginnings and might safely be referred to as a Phish basic. In stay performances, the jam phase options choreographed bouncing, and the band introduced that spectacle proper into our workplace.
After, the band ended its set and swerved out slowly via the gang, singing whereas giving out excessive fives. However the viewers’s applause didn’t cease, so Phish got here again out and performed two bonus tracks: “Pattern in a Jar” and “Chalk Mud Torture.” “Once we began the band, we used to follow in a room precisely this measurement… it was in all probability smaller,” Anastasio shared. What a present to get to observe Phish carry out in a equally sized room 41 years later.
