- He came so humble, holding his acoustic guitar and wearing his heart on his sleeve. Trey Anastasio isn't new to NPR: Concerts of his have even included "All Things Reconsidered," a variation on the All Things Considered theme.
Anastasio was in town to perform a concert with his big band of brass and brawn, but this selection of Phish and solo tunes felt more personal. "Summer of '89" is about his wife, Sue, while "Backwards Down the Number Line" reflects on his bandmates and friends. He opened this set with "Sleep Again," a song that looks to a better and brighter future. It's a treat to catch such an intimate glimpse of someone often seen in arenas, steeped in collaboration.
Set List

He might not be everybody's idea of 'the best singer', but this guy has brought a lot of joy and happiness to a lot people for a lot of years.
Absolutely, hit the nail on the head. I personally love his stuff like this, just goes to show the depth of his talent. He has several really well written and poignant songs in the catalog, his songwriting doesn't get near enough credit
Carlton Nelson I think that's because in allot of his early songs, Trey admits to not giving the lyrics a whole lot of thought or emphasis. "Stash" would be a perfect example. Incredible composition, nonsensical lyrics.
Man, all your fans love you Trey, myself included. How rad is it that this dude beat that whack addiction and came back to be able to play even better then before. Phish are such rad dudes, here's hoping they play for another twenty years. Summer of '89 gives me the tingle-shivers. Did you ever see the video of Trey playing acoustic in some nowhere place in 2005 or something...he was sick, dope sick, and playing bad...it was a dark time...but here he is, healthy, happy, playing well, the fans and his friends and family, we're all so blessed to have our dude Trey back on track and hitting the notes perfectly and fuck yeah, we love ya Trey!!!!
I love this man and phish as a band. they've brought me so much happiness in the darkest points in my life and I can't thank them enough for that. such beautiful people.
Some people say more with a few notes on a guitar than others say in a lifetime of babbling.
This man has bought to me some of the happiest moments of my life. Thank you Trey, you are just wonderful.
Who doesn't love this guy? Seems like such a kind person.
lots of people surprisingly. there are a lot of people who don't only not like Phish (which is fine, it's not for everyone), but go out of their way to insult and belittle trey and his fans.
Yes, this is true and I take solace in the fact that they don't know anything about Trey or his journey or his music. They speak from ignorance. They are scared because they don't understand and simply dismiss it and move on. Let them move on.
Have you met him? I have a few times actually when living in Burlington and he was pompous and arrogant each time. Just saying....
@@likeachimney I've met him 1 or 2 times. I'm only 23 so this was all 3.0 era, the first and most lengthy time was in 2009 after his memorial show for his sister at Carnegie hall in NYC. Waited outside the back door at the age of 13 until he came out to leave and he took the time to talk to everyone, take photos, sign things, etc. it was a somber event for his sister's death, but he was patient even after the stress and ordeal of playing a live show in a venue such as that. Everyone has bad days, everyone has dark days / years, times of misleading lifestyles, etc. But trey seems to me to be a kind soul, a genius artist and composer, and when you look at his actions and efforts over the 30 year career he's had - it seems hard to me to believe anything other than his "intent is for our delight."
@@Phishcactus wise beyond your years Mr. Jacobs. Fantastic comment.
How Trey (& Phish) is omitted from just about every "top guitarist", "top rocker", "top songwriter" list is beyond me. He is one of the most prolific writers & genuine performers, blending so many genres and styles into a truly unique sound that resonates with my soul like no other frequencies. Follow his chord progressions, melodies and harmonics from Gamehendge into the Ghosts of the Forest and tell me you didn't find new pieces of you along the way.
Conjuring profound curiosity, adventure, soul-seeking journeys, playfulness and above all love, Trey's themes continue coming full circle layering back moments, memories and provoking dreams that don't exist.
He was in Rolling Stone's top 50 guitarists.
@@vertyisprobablydead great news. Know which year by chance ?
hes nearly always in the top guitarist lists
@@JacobTellthis year
Part of being countercultural. It’s not bad for us the phans
It might be because I've been listening to Trey for so long but, I think he has a beautiful voice- full of emotion and warmth, especially in an intimate setting such as this.
M G. M G? As in mike gordon?
Check out the Providence David Bowie and tell me the same thing, most amazing Bowie I’ve heard but the vocal jam was weird lol.
What makes his voice so beautiful is that he sings with intention and honesty. You can really feel and get a sense of who he is through his singing and playing.
Word brother.
Trey is an excellent guitarist and a fine song writer. A true American treasure.
this comment is a treasure
Haha, I thought he was at least a GOOD song writer, but I’ll settle for fine.
We do not deserve him
It's actually crazy how you can just see his happiness flowing out of his smile. He plays like it's his first and last time playing a song. It actually makes me melancholy how happy he is.....
this is a man who got a second chance at life and its amazing to see that happiness flow!!
it helps.... um.... ALOT, that he's RICH BEYOND COMPARE and gets to fart around the country/world just jamming. You'd be stupid happy too
@@matycee yea I was going to say that too... still its fun to watch and live vicariously I guess...
His voice really brings me peace.
This seemed pretty emotional for him. That's refreshing. Nice to see an artist you care about care about what they're performing.
Summer of 89 has always got me right in the heart. It's a beauty.
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
Trey, I'm an older music head. My first concert was the Doors & Jefferson Airplane out on the football field at my H.S. in '67 and I've seen everyone on the roster of rock and jazz worlds in the intervening years, many of them many times. Your the real deal, and people like me love your creations and performances. (P.S. My kids grew in the Santa Cruz mountains in the 80s, similar to your Vermont story.) Thanks for this.
What a genuine dude. He plays his heart out no matter what he's doing, and you can tell he really cares about his music. He doesn't take success for granted at all and I am really glad I've seen Phish three times in concert.
I’ve seen them 91 times and the word you said is spot on...genuine. He is so appreciative. And Phish is a band that takes nothing seriously, but takes everything seriously.
@@dylanp346 They're totally serious about being ridiculous. I just read a book about them and it made my memories of those concerts much more special, and it really made me appreciate the experiences I've had with their music.
Man. Summer of '89. As much as that song maybe didn't hit home for me on stage with the Phish, gets me right in the feels here. Beautiful.
Everytime I hear Backwards Fown the Number Line I am transported to a different place. Everything bad and sad goes away and Im just filled with love and smiles. Thank you Big Red for being such a big part of many, many phans lives and making us a little happier every single day. (Except for when you play More during a Phish show)
The amount of joy this man has brought me, my friends and countless others is immeasurable. Eternally grateful for the music Trey has poured out of his soul to us. So lucky we are.
I. Fucking. Love. This. Man.
I recently saw the best Backwards Down The Number Line on 10/28/21 in Vegas. The Numbers Show. Trey and Phish are my crutch when I feel down. Truly an American treasure.
That was really good, but the BDTNL in Eugene (10/20/21) was even better.
@@katzpdx i was at both of them. the band was en fuego fall 2021
as i sit here and listen to this amazing man play and sing so wonderfully i am completely baffled to see that 21 people disliked this! How is that possible?!?! What is there to possibly dislike about this?
❤
I was at a little party during the summer of 94' when a guy put the album "Rift" on the CD player. It was the first time I had ever heard Phish. Though I don't remember the guys name, or even what he looked like, I can remember the first time I heard the band. I became and ardent fan. I would listen to them compulsively for the next 6 years, seeing them in 95 and 96 in Vancouver and then 5 times in short succession on the 1998 European tour (2 shows in Prague and 3 in Barcelona). The last show I ever saw was July 10, 1998 @ the Zeleste nightclub in Barcelona. Like Trey I am continually influenced and interested in new things. I listen to Phish for about 3 hours a YEAR now. I rarely focus my attention to one band for any length of time, rather always seeking out new sounds. That said, I do listen to a lot of Louis Armstrong. Seems like I always have, and always will. I am reminded of Phish this week as I was spending time with them during this time 17 years ago. This is a wonderful video and it is a joy to see Trey sharing himself with us. I will always be grateful for Trey and the rest of the band sharing their music with me.
thank you for sharing this
This made my heart happy!
I also remember the exact moment I heard Phish for the first time... a life changing moment indeed, January 1996. Saw my first show 11/13/96, and have been a part of the phamily ever since... just caught them at The Gorge (Aug. 27/28/29, 2021), and feel they are at the height of their game. It's so nice to see all 4 of them so happy and healthy, and feel blessed to live in the right place in time that I can exist while they exist. Much love from Oregon!
For the 39 people that disliked this you you need a hug.
Amen
Their names are probably Brian and Robert...
Just now stumbled onto this gem, not sure how I hadn't seen it yet. I saw that "Number Line" coming a mile away though LOL.
trey is a public radio guy if ive ever seen one
Lol this is funny, it's so true. He's such a dad.
My radio in the bathroom stays on NPR 24/7. Before covid it was really good. Loved listening to live from here, formally prairie home companion, on sundays. Like everything else, that show got canceled though
What a legend. Beautiful person. Such a great soul.
very nice in person too!
His singing kinda reminds me of Clapton, never realized it until he stripped down like this. Phish never did anything for me personality but have and always will be grateful for the positivity they share with this world
summer of 89: DAMN, that song is good.
Whether solo acoustic, with TAB, or with the core 4 of PHISH... this guy brings me joy. Started out as a DEADHEAD in my early years, will end my life as a total Phish phan!!
Kevin Silvers don’t forget about oysterhead 😂
Trey Anastasio deserves a lot of credit
Absolutely soothing. Thanks Trey & NPR
Popped back up on my Home Screen so I gave it another watch and listen. So beautiful ❤️
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
somewhere on you tube tray talks about getting sober and he was so powerful. i am recovering for a long time and it was very hard. for a rock star it must be so hard and i give him so much credit. wonderful man
Number line is probably the one song trey wrote that makes me cry every time.
I did cry as usual, lol, it's pure joy.
Me too. It was the song that I woke up to at Bonnaroo 09 and said I’m officially a fan. Beautiful song, favorite song etc. love it
@@wadebunn8583 its a tear jerker
arguably, possibly, the song that revived phish.
same! i have so many phriends and i love them so! thanks Trey
I've been listening to Phish and TAB for the over 20 years. I love them now more than ever and most of that comes back to Trey. His spirit is infectious and creativity is seemingly endless. We are blessed to have almost 40 years (and counting) of music to listen to!
Nice songs Trey! Greetings from Venezuela.
What a good songwriter!
I'm pleasantly surprised.
Thanks!
Summer of '89 is incredible. No need for Phish to play it but it's a great, honest song for Trey to play. Autobiographical.
Oh, but they have played it.
was in Hartford when Phish debuted it...Trey is great at those acoustic storyteller songs...
Love this! Trey is so wonderful. Love the song selection as well.
Definitely a class act. I like Phish, though not a big fan. I would love to hear more of Trey solo acoustic like this. Great TDC.
So happy this was done! New TDC's are always a treat. Keep up the good work NPR!
Awesome, absolutely great performance! Thank you !
I first found this when my friend Patrick sent me the link. We lost Pat a year ago this past Sunday. I needed this this week. I love Trey. I love Patrick. God Rest your soul, Pat.
Sorry for your loss.
Fantastic - such a great simple, sentimental song - gets me every time - great version!
Song always makes me cry. RIP Brett ❤
Trey is always a treat!
Ya know, all that has been built up around a single person, I'm so fortunate to see all of that pulled away for a little while. thanks to all of you who put effort into these tiny concerts.
Always in tears for sleep again. RIP Brett ❤
Needed sleep again lyrics, poignant.
Such grace and beauty in the way he plays. Thanks for bringing Joy to so many!
He is a perfect Singer perfect. And balanced. And from the heart of energy. 150% perfect
gah! He's the best! Thank you Trey!
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
Trey took a mean verbal beating from a lot of heads, which is sad. He is a great musician and didn't deserve the abuse. Nobody does. Awesome job Trey!!
?
@@CruznN4th Deadheads, most likely
man i love him.....he is one beautiful soul.......
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
Can’t agree more . TREY = good vibes and amazing legacy so far 🫵🏻rip king of the kids
Love one love all
Enjoyed listening!
I'm hoping to go to many more phish shows but my health is that bad yall glad i got to see u again
wow those songs are wonderful.
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
Phish is the sound of my childhood
Trey Anastasio (April 30, 2002) is one of music's greatest albums
Treyyyy
Waiting for the Phish tiny desk concert! 🥵
This was so good!!
In my opinion trey is the most innovative and creative musician ever. Hos passion for music and the crowds experience is second to none. Phish best band ever. True real music no auto tune
Ive loved phish since the very first time I ever heard them back in the 90s😊
i don't care what anyone else says, TREY IS ADORABLE AF
hes literally my fav person in music
Thanks Trey!
Good lyrics and a masterful guitar performance, what's not to like?
While this isn't entirely tight or as good as many of the tiny desk concerts, it's nice to see a guy like Trey with a different gleam in his eye, singing his songs in a different light.
Love Trey!!!
I had never heard Summer of 89 ... man I had something in my eye the whole time he was playing that one. I swear I was not crying tho
Such a great musician
Another really good one is the connection
This guy is better than Slash as a guitar player....my 90s HS years...so effortless...I must have seen 10 Phish concerts in my teens as a Canadian...
Thanks Trey!!!
Love this guy!
Trey looks so good and healthy #mancrush
GoaGuy I know it's so awesome, so happy for him.
that's what not doing drugs does for people
Great, especially today, after Yesterdays ordeal. thanks
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
Phish NPR? I love Phish. I love NPR. Make it happen!!!
Thank you trey
Despite his vocal limitations, Trey's a consummate musician. BoyManGodShit. Get familiar. Keep up the great work N.P.R.
'A Flock of Words' is one of the best songs I've ever heard.
Vocal limitations=lolz. He sings better, unquestionably, than 99% of the males on the planet, at least. Also, singing while playing guitar is different than just getting up on a microphone, so please don't compare the two.
Nebraska West Brainwashed by who? Maybe you’re the brainwashed one hahaha
Very sweet
love love love!!!
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
Never seen him in this setting. reminds me so much of Cat Stevens in this light.
Love that man
"The Greatest Guitarist Alive"
DAVINOENTERPRISES Absolutely.
that is highly debatable. Let's be honest...
I dig Phish but there are so.many better guitar players. Try Lionel Loueke.
Lol. He's no Earl Klugh or Derek Trucks but he's definitely a fine player
That's right.
3 songs- 13 minutes, who is this impostor? That should be the length of ONE song.
Just kidding. I love Trey.
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
i love trent i cant wait for 2021 so i can watch my fist phish show!
Pure magic
He’s so likeable 😊
Trey solo acoustic is a good way to see why he's such a good player.
Charming!
❤ and light 🤘
bem legal de ouvir!
Nice tone on the guitar.
Trey is great
Love love love
True master
is that eric claptons brother?
Anyone else smiling so much it hurts?
It's about my friends 💙
This guy is good because he allows me to create a whole personality for myself around taking psychedelics at concerts.
🎊 TREY ANASTASIO 🎊
Imagine if the did a Sleep Again, Summer of 89, BDTNL live with Phish? It would be anarchy haha. But I liked this acoustic and listening to Trey talk.
