In an homage to the film’s opening scene, in which the main character awakens from a coma 28 days after a highly contagious virus has ravaged civilization and must scramble to comprehend his terrifying new reality, we see Trey wandering the desolate, decrepit arena, picking up old newspapers on the ground to slowly find out how this dumpster fire of a year has unfolded since he first stepped on that platform in the final moments of 2019: ‘Global Lockdown,’ ‘Murder Hornets Arrive In The U.S.,’ ‘Trump Impeached,’ ‘Phish Tour Cancelled’…

In the pre-recorded intro clip, we see the now-scraggly Trey, still wearing his green “ clone” suit, finally figure out how to get down from the MSG rafters-barefoot, with his meme-ified bag of oranges, which had been covering the platform’s “down” switch these last 10 months-as the ominous intro music from British post-apocalyptic horror drama 28 Days Later begins to play. What came next just may have been the most entertaining segment of The Beacon Jams so far. But wait, it’s not empty… The camera panned to Trey’s green New Year’s Eve platform-in an alternate timeline in which he had never been rescued in the very first hours of 2020. Rather than panning down to the Beacon stage however, streamers were presented with shots of the now-empty confines of The Garden. Wait, what’s that they’re playing… it’s “Rescue Squad”! How perfect to hear the quartet breathe life into the pseudo-song Trey had improvised as he was being retrieved from a faulty platform above Madison Square Garden some 10 months/ 84 years ago-the same song that gave them their new name. This week, however, the first sounds we heard were the Rescue Squad Strings, the string quartet introduced on Night 2 that’s quickly becoming a Beacon Jams fixture. The last three weeks, this has led us straight into the five-piece Trey Anastasio Band lineup kicking off the performance. Trey Anastasio & Page McConnell – “Waste”Īfter a brief “stand by,” the regular introductory bumper animation began. It wasn’t perfect, but damn if it didn’t scratch that pesky emotional itch we’ve been feeling after a Phish-less summer and fall. showtime was past their bedtime, Trey and Page delivered a duet performance of “Waste”. This time, after a quick exchange of pleasantries and some jokes about how the 6:20 p.m. Much like on Night 3, the broadcast started with a new selection from Trey and Phish bandmate Page McConnell‘s pre-recorded porch session at the Barn.
Would he honor the holiday in some way? It didn’t take long to find out.

That seemed to dash the predictions of a full musical costume, but surely Trey was still lamenting the missed celebration of the band’s cherished “costume” tradition as much as we were. By the time Friday night came around, Phish had already claimed Saturday night for a Dinner and a Movie triple-feature of past Halloween sets. With The Beacon Jams and 2020, it’s anyone’s guess.īack before the virtual residency began, when we were all still clueless as to what we could expect, we wagered a long-shot guess that Trey could cover The Residents after a promo clip about a formative experience he had enjoyed while seeing the avant-garde collective at the Beacon many years ago gave new life to an old fan theory. Would Trey use the 10/30 show for a musical costume? That’s the fun thing about this unprecedented format-in the past, it was easier to surmise what would and wouldn’t make sense based on previous years’ patterns. If we were keeping with the last few years’ “one on, one off” schedule, we were due for a Phish Halloween show in 2020. Heading into Friday’s performance, the specter of Halloween hung over fans’ predictions for the All Hallows Eve (Eve) show.
On Friday, October 30th, Trey Anastasio brought The Beacon Jams to its midway point with his fourth of eight weekly livestreams from New York’s storied Beacon Theatre.
