On Monday night, Trey Anastasio Band continued their Colorado run with the first of two performances at Vail, CO’s Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater.
Trey Anastasio and his band—comprised of Russ Lawton (drums), Tony Markellis (bass), Cyro Baptista (percussion), Ray Paczkowski (keys), Jennifer Hartswick (trumpet, vocals), Natalie Cressman (trombone, vocals), and James Casey (saxophones, vocals)—opened up the first set with “Gotta Jibboo” before moving forward with TAB staples “Alive Again” and “Cayman Review”.
Trey then let out a soaring solo as the band moved forward with “Burn That Bridge”, a song from the Hands on a Hardbody musical for which Trey co-wrote the music. Following a high-energy take on Phish‘s “No Men In No Man’s Land”, the band dusted off “Flying Machines” for the first time since 2015, a track from 2015’s Paper Wheels LP. The octet continued on with “Everything’s Right” before surprising the crowd with the instrumental “Olivia”, last played on June 7th, 2003. The song was co-composed by Anastasio and Baptista and appeared on Trey’s 2007 studio effort, The Horseshoe Curve. Moving out of “Olivia”, TAB closed out their first set with “Sand”.
Despite issues with the stage lighting, the band returned to open up the second set with the instrumental “Mozambique”, which was followed up by TAB staples “Money Love & Change” and “Liquid Time”.

Trey Anastasio Band’s newly reworked version of Phish favorite “Camel Walk” was up next before the band sailed into “Ocelot”, allowing Trey a chance to fire off a series of red-hot solos. TAB continued on with “Set Your Soul Free”, “Dark & Down”, and “Tuesday” before closing out the second set with an explosive “First Tube”. The band finally returned to offer up a two-song encore of “Bounce” and “Blaze On”.
Trey Anastasio Band returns to Vail’s Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater tonight, Tuesday, August 13th, for the final night of their four-night Colorado run.
