No matter-the band pushed through a rocky start to craft a particularly dialed-in “Bowie” jam that harnessed the song’s patented set-closing energy in full.ĭuring the break, as classic electronic music played, the stage was rearranged to include four platforms, two square and two circle, one for each band member. True to its name, the back half of this “Kill Devil Falls” descended into the underworld with creaking synths and ripping guitars before moving into… “Free”? The choice sent puzzled murmurs rippling through the crowd: “how does ‘Free’ fit in with the ‘Halloween songs’ theme?”ĭespite there being plenty of spooky songs still on the table, the ensuing “David Bowie” confirmed that the thematic thread had been cut short early-one of various elements of the performance that would wind up feeling somewhat under-realized. This was never more apparent than during “KDF” as Trey Anastasio telegraphed fragments of an unmistakable ABB sound without directly quoting anything in particular. It feels important to mention here how much the Allman Brothers Band felt represented in Trey’s playing during the set. Add this “Ghost” to the long list of must-listen jams from fall tour 2021.Ī potent reading of “Wolfman’s Brother” in the fourth slot gave way to another standout piece of improv on “Kill Devil Falls”. Throughout its 27 minutes, this “Ghost” had several segments and motifs, and most of the band members moved through their respective effects to create a vast sonic palette. Things eventually quieted down dramatically, as if the band was ready to finish her off, but out of the serenity came some of the most interesting and ambitious improvisation of the run. At certain points, it sounded like Trey wanted to move towards “Mountain Jam”-something of a theme throughout this run-but things got exciting when he teased “Drowned” and the band followed him into a jam very reminiscent of what you might hear after a pass through The Who tune. This one started mellow and stayed that way for the first few minutes as the band patiently waited for the moment to turn it on. As the last notes rang out, Trey quite literally rolled up his sleeves before strumming the riff to another on-theme song, “Ghost”. Much like Thursday night ( descending numbers) and Saturday night ( animals), Sunday’s first of three sets began with a notable setlist theme: whether they were chilling, thrilling, spooky, or seasonal, Halloween-suitable songs filled the 80-minute frame.Ī nice pass through morbid instrumental “Buried Alive” got the All Hallows show started, followed by Ween‘s lyrically playful, pumpkin-referencing “Roses Are Free” (for the first time since 12/1/19). The 2021 Sci-Fi Soldier Halloween “costume” set offered new creative elements alongside aesthetic and thematic echoes of 10/31/18’s Kasvot Växtset and New Year’s Eve 2019’s “Clones” gag-from the thrilling to the outlandish to the unsettling. : Phishonce again offered up a character study for Halloween 2021, inventing a comic book narrative about Sci-Fi Soldier-a “New Miami”-based band from the year 4680-and performing the group’s “album,” Get More Down, complete with futuristic robot suits, pyrotechnics, lasers, and motorized, geometrical LED elements bobbing and weaving over the stage. : One year after the Phish/ Sci-Fi Soldier Halloween spectacle, a new “studio version” of Get More Down has appeared on Spotify.
