On season 30, episode 11 of Austin City Limits, Trey Anastasio graces the stage with his guitar in tow, bringing a mix of his solo work and Phish classics with him.

Anastasio, known for his intricate guitar playing, puts on an impressive display as he shreds his way through "Alive Again" and "Push On 'Til the Day." He also shows off his softer side, with heartfelt renditions of "Pebbles and Marbles" and "Backwards Down the Number Line."

The crowd is fully engaged throughout the show, bobbing their heads, swaying to the rhythm, and singing along to favorite Phish tunes like "Heavy Things" and "Bathtub Gin." Anastasio's personable stage presence adds to the experience, as he interacts with the audience, fills them in on some personal anecdotes, and even takes a brief moment to perform a jig with a young fan.

The energy only builds as the show goes on, with Anastasio's bandmates contributing to the high-energy performance. Audience members also get a special treat when longtime Austin musician Charlie Sexton joins the group on stage for a few songs.

Throughout the show, Anastasio stays true to himself, mixing in playful guitar riffs and taking some risks to put his own unique spin on familiar tunes. And it's clear that his passion for music and performing is still going strong after over 30 years in the industry.
