Trey is no stranger to the Tiny Desk, having . Bassist and drummer Jon Fishman for our Tiny Desk (home) concert series in 2020 with guitarist . And now, finally, we get a full Tiny Desk concert.
The set began with 鈥淪igma Oasis,鈥� which included a little musical reference to the All Things Considered theme song. The band continued with 鈥淓volve,鈥� a track from its 16th studio album released last week. Before the band鈥檚 final song, Anastasio and Gordon warmed up their fingers on tiny trampolines, which likely had the uninitiated scratching their heads. But for fans of this band, it was a clear signal of what was coming next: 鈥淵ou Enjoy Myself,鈥� a song that dates back to the band鈥檚 beginnings and can safely be called a Phish classic. In live performances, the jam segment features choreographed bouncing, and the band brought that spectacle right into our office.
After, the band ended its set and swerved out slowly through the crowd, singing while giving out high fives. But the audience's applause didn鈥檛 stop, so Phish came back out and played two bonus tracks: 鈥淪ample in a Jar鈥� and 鈥淐halk Dust Torture.鈥� 鈥淲hen we started the band, we used to practice in a room exactly this size鈥� it was probably smaller,鈥� Anastasio shared. What a gift to get to watch Phish perform in a similarly sized room 41 years later.
