Trey Anastasio has just announced that his incredible run of shows dubbed The Beacon Jams is getting an official release as an album! The compilation LP was released digitally on Friday, November 25 and benefits the Divided Sky Foundation.
Co-produced by Trey and Vance Powell and remixed by Powell, the 18-track, 145-minute new anthology collects varied acoustic and electric highlights from the event, spanning solo material, Trey Anastasio Band favorites, and unique versions of classic songs from the Phish catalog.
145 minutes! Yessssss! Stream it below via Spotify:

For a dip into the archive, check out our coverage from The Beacon Jams run as we were stuck on the couch like everyone else during that set of shows. What a weird time.
I remember that some of the highlights that Trey posted on YouTube fully aligned to my opinion of the top moment from the livestream that night, including the absolutely incendiary “What’s The Use.”
