The second week of Trey Anastasio\u2019s The Beacon Jams <\/a>served to be even more jam packed with surprises than the first week<\/a>, including a string quartet joining in, and one of the most beautiful versions of \u201cDivided Sky\u201d you\u2019ll ever hear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, the live streamed performance from New York City\u2019s Beacon Theatre we available free via Twitch, with donations encouraged to The Divided Sky Fund, which focuses on delivering quality care and compassionate treatment for those battling addiction, through Phish’s WaterWheel Foundation<\/a>. On this night, the goal of $100,000 was surpassed roughly 100 minutes into the performance (9:41PM ET), with Anastasio sharing his experience on the road to sobriety, and the plans to open an addiction treatment center in Vermont.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The night began as it did last week with familiar faces from Trey Anastasio Band – Tony Markellis on bass, Russ Lawton on drums, Ray Paczkowski on keys and Cyro Baptista on percussion. Cyro dove into his cache of percussion to create bird call noises preceding the show opening \u201cGotta Jibboo.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After \u201cUndermind,\u201d which Trey said held the secret of the universe, was the world premiere (and a college try) of \u201cEvolve,\u201d one of Trey\u2019s quarantunes<\/a>, which quickly showed huge potential for both Trey Anastasio Band and Phish versions in the future. Trey was then joined only by Jeff Tanski for \u201cDivided Sky,\u201d which stands as one of the all-time great versions. The pair together performed the entire composition flawlessly, with Tanski getting a round of applause from the band after, and likely from many at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
