Reviews: Trey Anastasio & Classic TAB @ Terminal 5 [Billboard]
Nineteen months and over 50 Phish concerts later, Anastasio brought his TAB unit — plus a familiar horn section — to New York City’s Terminal 5 on Feb. 16, for an evening that celebrated the past and a promising future.
Unlike Phish, where Anastasio’s leadership role goes unspoken, there’s no question that he is the ringmaster of TAB. While this allows him a certain freedom to plume his feathers as his supporting cast recedes into the background, he also revels in the glow of his carefully crafted ensemble. During each of the band members’ solos and audience-energizing crescendos, Anastasio jumped and clapped along like a proud big brother.

TAB has always been a forum for Trey to tool around with various solos and effects pedal pyrotechnics, so there were certainly moments of long-winded guitar wizardry throughout the band’s three-hour plus workout. But I was surprised at how well this version of TAB really gelled as a cohesive unit.

The Talking Heads’ “Cities” was another extremely welcome treat and again saw the band deliver on some very relaxed funk before an absolutely slamming “Free.” I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, “Free” is the quintessential Phish song - lyrically, stylistically and spiritually. Gordon owned this tune, like always. “Halley’s Comet” followed and the slight flub didn’t even matter as the Garden was bouncing to the line, “I’m going down to the central part of town.” MSG is not only the central part of town, but might be the central vortex of the world’s greatest city.
