Some of the best Phil I've ever seen has been in "Upstate" New York, and we just might have a doozie on our hands here. I'm betting that Sober Trey has some serious steam to blow off (and not in the Coventry "Glide" sense), and I can't wait to hear this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 I don't know, i'd be happy to catch any of the remaining shows on this tour. While Trey sitting in is a definite treat, it's by no means the end of the tour http://drewbkerr.blogspot.com/2007/10/lesh-anastasio-provide-night-to.html Sunday, October 21, 2007Lesh, Anastasio provide a night to remember The ticket stubs, the pre-concert advertisements and the marquee flashing outside the Glens Falls Civic Center all agreed: Saturday night’s concert belonged to Phil Lesh. But as much credit as the former Grateful Dead bassist deserves for the evening’s success, this show was all about Trey Anastasio. Anastasio, who fronted for Phish until the jam band’s 2004 breakup, was pronounced as a “special guest†early Saturday morning. But the moniker quickly showed it’s irrelevancy as the red-bearded guitarist settled into his position at stage front – noticeably centered with his microphone a few paces ahead of all else. His presence never dissipated through over three hours of improvisational harmony and his guitar solos were the cornerstones of many an improvised ballad. It can’t be said that Anastasio’s appearance was a complete surprise. The 42-year-old has been something of an enigmatic character locally since a tumble with Whitehall Police in December 2006. Known as Ernest J. Anasatasio in the Washington County court system, the former front man was ordered to attend drug court after admitting he had a trove of prescription painkillers when pulled over. As part of the drug court program, he was required to live in the area for at least three months. Consider this his coming out party. And what a party it was. The Vermont native acted as if he’d had nothing to do since settling across the border in the Empire State. He hit all the right notes and then added a few more during a nearly one-hour first set that featured Dead classics, “Friend of the Devil,†“Deep Elem Blues†and a raucous version of “Bertha.†In the latter song there was, for Anastasio, a certain emphasis on the line “Test me, test me, why don’t you arrest me?†The quip was not lost on the crowd – a motley amalgam of dreadlocks, loose ankle-length skirts and more than a few tie-dyed shirts that sufficiently distracted the arena’s security guards from the on-stage antics. After a perhaps-too-long 40-minute interim the five members of Phil Lesh and Friends – yes they were there too – returned for two more hours of seamless jams. And though it may have been Trey’s night the material was not. “The Cumberland Blues,†“Wharf Rat,†and a nearly 15-minute version of “Help on the Way†were clear reminders that this performance was still very much indebted to the Dead. The inimitable set provided a chance for Lesh’s friends – as in “Phil Lesh & Friends†– who are accompanying him on his latest 30-date tour to showcase their merits. Jackie Greene, a 26-year-old California who hooked up with Lesh on a relative lark, appeared sick – grabbing tissues constantly and disappearing at inopportune moments. But he still managed to display the promise Lesh, 40 years his senior, saw in him. Larry Campbell, best known for his recent work with Bob Dylan, also proved his resume is robust for a reason, offering healthy doses of vocals, violin accompaniment and guitar. I left wondering why he’s not more of a household name. Meanwhile, drummer John Molo did enough to maintain his seat at the table and Steve Molitz provided an intriguing bit of synthesized sound from behind the keyboards, giving the classics a uniquely modern appeal. It’s certain Lesh’s constant shuffling of venerable artists such as these that helps him maintain his show’s vibrancy. The constant reinvention of his music – while not losing sight of what made it popular in the first place – is what makes his show something to see. In an interview with the Post-Star this week, Lesh described his shows in metaphysical terms. And though I can’t speak for the rest of those in attendance, I certainly went on one hell of a musical journey.
