![]() “Camel Walk” is always a treat and Trey was all smiles as the band ripped, but it was “The Moma Dance” where the band really let go and allowed themselves to stretch out a bit. The first set kicked off with a high energy “Set Your Soul Free” that got the place rockin’ before the horns took center stage on the bouncy “Olivia.” Both Jen Hartswick and Natalie Cressman took the opportunity to leave their typical spots, make their way out front, and engage Trey in a bit of back and forth jamming. Some could argue that the Saturday night show in Vail had some better setlist choices, but it’s really hard to complain about getting to see Trey and the band strut their stuff on whatever songs they choose. ![]() Instead what we got was a standard TAB show and that’s pretty great in and of itself. There were no guests, no massive bust-outs, and no out of left field covers that left jaws on the floors. So, the question looms: was this a Sunday show that will go down in the annals of jam jore? Probably not. No doubt that makes Monday morning staff meetings a little harder. Trey Anastasio and his supremely talented band turned in nearly three hours of music on Sunday and, despite the early start time (ticket said 6:30, the band took the stage at 7), it was likely midnight before many in the capacity crowd made it home. ![]() I think many in the jam world would start this piece with the ol’ “Never Miss A Sunday Show” cliche (and I guess I just did), but is every Sunday show an epic throwdown that you shouldn’t have missed? The short answer is “no” but it’s understandable that people want to feel like they were rewarded for going out on a Sunday night and catching a marathon performance.
