Trey Anastasio Band geared back up for the second leg of their tour last night following a two-week break after their performance at The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto, Canada, on May 7th. To kick off this latest tour leg, the eight-piece band made their debut at The Fillmore in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania before the group continues on to DelFest, Summer Camp, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre in the coming week.During last night’s performance, Trey Anastasio Band opened their show up with “Sand,” harkening back to their tour opener at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, in mid-April. Across the first set, the band worked through regular numbers from the TAB catalog including “Mozambique” (which heavily featured Natalie Cressman), “Cayman Review,” “Valentine,” “Tuesday,” “Pigtail,” and “Curlew’s Call.” The first set also Phish’s “Magilla,” “Gotta Jibboo,” and “Ocelot” sprinkled within the set.For Trey Anastasio Band’s second set at The Fillmore, the group opened up with the classics “Drifting” and “Night Speaks To A Woman.” From there, the group moved into a cover of Leon Russell’s “Delta Lady,” marking the third time the ensemble has played the song following its debut in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on May 2nd, and its second performance a few days later in Indianapolis on May 5th. Again, pulling from their tour opener at The Capitol Theatre, the group returned to a cover of Portugal The Man’s “Feel It Still” following TAB numbers “Simple Twist Up Dave” and “The Song.” After Crosby, Stills, & Nash’s “49 Bye Byes,” and Anastasio’s “Last Tube” and “Architect,” Jennifer Hartswick led the group to close out the second set with covers of Gorillaz’s “Clint Eastwood” and Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog.”To end the night, Trey Anastasio Band put on a three-song encore for the Philadelphia crowd. Trey and the horn section—composed of Cressman, Hartswick, and saxophonist James Casey—sang an a capella rendition of “The Parting Glass” before the rest of the gang joined in for “Heavy Things” and “Push On Til The Day” to close out the night for good.
