I sort of stumbled upon this show in Minneapolis. I was in town for a family event, staying a block away from the State Theater. Walking by I saw "Trey Anastasio" on the marquee and had a mini freak out.
I actually had Saturday night free to myself so I walked up to the box office at 4:00 pm...
I think this is my first review! Just noticed there are no reviews for it, and I was there.
Jam-wise, there wasn't anything too crazy or out of the box that makes this show stand out in the middle of what was an amazing tour. (...that may be a little overshadowed by the following Fall shows.)...
I (at some point, circa 1999) possessed a really crisp recording of this show, and I must say I'm surprised that no one has singled out this particular Antelope as noteworthy. Trey immediately takes complete control after the vocals and steers into a very haunting melody, slowly dissecting and...
Wow! What a difference a few days off makes. The 47th show of the tour brings us to the Midwest for their first show at the State Theatre and it's a good one. It has very relaxed and crisp playing for the most part. And speaking of crisp, the recording of this one is great! You can even hear...
The first set is mostly average, and a little shaky in spots, namely Stash and SITM. Trey is also pretty out of tune during the start of Divided Sky, but he tunes up when they hit the quiet section, and then this Divided Sky flexes its muscles a bit. The second set is where this one picks up...
A little lyric flub from Trey at the beginning of Chalk Dust, but other than that it's a fairly solid Chalk Dust opener. Sparkle didn't quite get up to the tempo I like, I think mainly because Fish almost lost it at the accelerando. Guelah was good; the interplay between Trey and Page was pretty...
First solo acoustic show for me and it was excellent. Not only was it a great musical performance but you get to experience an intimate interaction with the artist. You feel Trey’s authentic personality with every song and the little story interludes. Trey radiates so much joy and gratefulness....
The first "Type II" version in which the jam almost immediately breaks away into a rhythmic and rocking groove before settling into some good quieter space. The jam regains some pulse and power before -> to "Contact."
