Dave Matthews Band w/ Trey Anastasio - LIOG - 8/14/07

DMB playing Lie in Our Graves with Trey Anastasio at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga, NY. August 14th, 2007.

[@draz0909]

4 years of pent up music revealed in an instant.

[@Musqueify]

i feel like i just watched trey overcome opiates in about 5 minutes. beautiful

[@ryanweisenberger1869]

And now I'm crying all these years later. Wow. I've never see this. As a recovered addict. I can feel that fuck you towards the end. That you no longer hold the key to my chains. I carry them alone. They no longer burden me. It's time to be free. Blown away is right.

[@joespago9875]

I’m right there with you. Weeping. A recovered addict. There’s a moment just after the 5 minute mark, Trey tells his addiction that he’s stronger than it. Every note becomes a punch to the gut of his addiction. Blow after blow. Trey has clearly won the fight. Such a powerful moment to watch. Inspirational.

[@stambo1978]

3/28/16 after many tries. First rehab was Winter 07’ for me. HP just swoops in and kisses Trey’s forehead here and uses him as a conduit.

[@erikhoffman8398]

I saw this show live as a 14 year old, my dad took me the night after an incubus show at SPAC as he was a big Dave fan. Throughout my teens I had only remembered one aspect of this show, and it was this solo. In college I became a Phish fan, and later pieced together that I had witnessed Trey in a huge moment of his life. I wish I had known then the magnitude of the performance at the time. However, it’s amazing how much that magnitude/reality shined through in the music alone. To this day it is one of the most memorable moments in my live music experience.

[@thetruth34o9]

Very cool, this is a special moment in time no doubt. Thank your Dad for exposing you to this!

[@Vivafiniz]

I've watched this so many times its absurd. Every time I get goosebumps.

[@michele6091]

I feel thissssssss

[@grosebud4554]

Still coming back? Been coming back annually sometimes monthly since 2011

[@mysteryman5703]

Every time ! The crowd response to Trey is infectious

[@samuelfleisher]

This has to be one of the greatest rock solos captured on film.

[@settlinup1112]

Trey does that 4 nights a week

[@davidpaul4061]

@@settlinup1112the context of this solo is what makes it so special though

[@greatestescapes]

Treys solo in this tune gets me every time. His phrasing and choice of notes are more powerful than lyrics (or words in any context, for that matter) can ever hope to be.

[@kellenkramer6434]

greatestescapes for real nothing makes me happier with myself and makes me realize who and what is important in life like a trey solo

[@cntrlrb20]

Other than jazz legends, I find his style to be the most impossible to imitate. He’s a genius.

[@robertlilley4209]

3 years after Coventry to the day. Truly amazing how down and out he was. Dave fans got a very special treat.

[@keithpearson6900]

when trey is finishing his solo on beat on his own, and it comes in perfect time with the band, both dave and butch look at each other with a look of what the fuck just happened. They are used to sick guests and guitarists but no one can build a solo from scratch and turn it into a band jam the way trey did. Literally amazing for modern pop, rock, jam, deadish music.

[@ryanwald]

Your wrong! Trey is great! But the guy who plays with Dave right now can do that! His name is Tim Reynolds!

[@pnwelliott1]

Ryan Waldhuetter derp, wrong.

[@benallen12]

Around the 4:50-5:00 minute mark, Trey finally realized that he's probably the best guitar player that anybody in the crowd had ever heard. Just let it rip.

[@eric4041]

Tim Reynolds has entered the chat

[@Ltspineshank]

@@eric4041 You *might* have an argument for technical proficiency, but Tim just isn't on Trey's level when it comes to improvisational technique

[@themayorvt2]

Good points it’s what maybe dmb has always lacked for me…but then again I’m a phish fan since my first show in 1989 so…

[@gallagherbm]

Tim is not near Trey’s league, in any sense.

[@BenGardner87]

Man, once Trey starts to build his solo around 5:40 and you can hear the crowd go nuts (5:49) and we see the "trey face"...if you're familiar with Trey's career and that doesn't give you chills, I don't know what to say. When you take into account the circumstances of having recovered from addiction and just coming out of nowhere to appear on stage...pretty awesome stuff here. One of my absolute favorite videos on youtube.

[@gabedababe33]

Best solo I've seen trey do. So emotional and right when he got out of rehab. I wish I could get a better live version

[@riamisurellitozzi4018]

This was such a great nite! I just about lost my mind when Trey walked on stage . . .Thanks for posting!

[@caitlinmurtagh8293]

chills

[@hangingon]

2023 and still jamming this gem!

[@type7926]

I dunno why, but the jam portion of this song has always made me feel like I'm falling from some unimaginable height towards some bright light.

[@matthewhinner2139]

Treys ability and unique style of tension and release is never more front and center than in this heartfelt and emotional retain to the stage. Absolute legend.

[@sabretooth94]

I can't watch this enough!!

[@tobyrufus]

can't listen to this song anymore without hearing that note Trey plays at 1:42....best live version of any song i've ever heard, 8/14/07 will forever live in my mind as one of the greatest nights of my life

[@greatestescapes]

jesus listen to him get the crowd going... nobody knows how to speak to people's souls through music better than trey anastasio i danced in my chair to this

[@GinGVegas]

Trey face force is strong here....

[@chrisholland350]

You gotta put this solo into context a bit. Trey was fresh out of or still in rehab in Saratoga County. This was the first time on stage for him in a long time. Its a big moment.

[@RD-vt9uu]

Chris Holland why do you need to put it in context? It’s objectively awesome.

[@AMedda]

@@RD-vt9uu ...because this is Trey at his most vulnerable. He was rusty, he was nervous, and he found his groove halfway through. It's extremely moving for that very reason. If you don't know this, it's just a decent solo.

[@jammcrusader1981]

Better than anything tim ever offered on the song - well maybe besides the acoustic version - but that still isnt as giant as this haha

[@AMedda]

@state azure maybe you don't listen to Trey enough to recognize how he's playing.

[@AMedda]

@state azure well sure... but I absolutely stand by what I said.

[@97Tubert]

That is why he is my favorite.

[@Cornbreadddd]

this is the most amazing and beautiful piece of music i've ever heard.

[@stambo1978]

This is just huge. Perhaps tied for the heaviest emotional moment ever in the live setting for Trey. The other in my eyes being his TAB rendition of “It Makes No Difference” from the ACL fest a month after Coventry. The weight of what was happening was just HEAVY. Perhaps that moment and this one here are bookends to a very painful time in Trey’s life. Here the weight is released. Redemption is oh so sweet. He empties the tank here. Happy.Joyous.Free

[@Ltspineshank]

Good lord is this amazing. Chills every time

[@jasonwilliammerrill]

tears every time...

[@thomashoornbeck1871]

The rift Trey hits at 6:40 is from another planet

[@JBreitenbach388]

I was at this show and it is still one of the best solos I've seen Trey do to this day. Unbelievable.

[@andybishop4577]

got to love the old trey face

[@Improvise1013]

This video encapsulates the live music experience so well. Trey, battling what he was at the time, lays down an incredible solo just really giving it to the crowd and the crowd gives it right back to him. This is why we live music, this is what makes it so addicting. This is what magic looks and sounds like.

[@twa4077]

nothing but smiles smiles smiles. stuff like this is what kept trey sober.

[@lovelyladysarz]

Who's listening in 2020? Phish and DMB are about to cancel their summer tours, but this...

[@gusPEWPEW]

Was there that night. Little did I know it was the beginning of me being a fan of trey and largely phish after that. Went to my first phish shows tour 09. Absolutely magical to go back to that night with better context. His smile at the end of the solo is everything.

[@matth268]

2021

[@jeremycohen1165]

Still one of the best solos of all time and the context makes it better.

[@birdman3441]

This is my all time favorite thing in the music world ever. Nothing says love wins and you can be reborn like this solo. Chills everytime, and I watch it like monthly if not more, to remind myself Love Is What We Are!

[@Mastas2]

You know whats crazy, two nights before this show, my brother was lucky enough to meet Trey who was at an event at the Saratoga Polo club where my brother was working at the time. The event was for drug awareness and to show people the effectiveness of drug courts which Trey had been a part of. He asked him if he was playing with Dave in a couple days and he said he would if the judge would allow him to do so. Lets just say we can all thank the judge for this jam because trey just kills this!!!!

[@awolf007]

Nice to see my hero back in the saddle. Its interesting how other musicians can come in and bring the band to a more raging climax than they could on their own. The #41 with Warren Haynes that is floating around here on youtube is so unbelievable I can't find words. This clip holds a special place though because Phish was and always will be my favorite band. Miss you Trey.

[@gusPEWPEW]

Hope they still are brother! Here's to the triumphant return since 2009 :)

[@darzik]

This was one of the best nights of my year. So glad I attended.

[@tylerbrown6459]

Glad to see someone go get help for their problems and come back strong on the other side!! I can't believe we would lie in our graves wondering if we had spent our remaining days well!!

[@tcknapp1984]

likewise, absolutely amazing, still gives me chills

[@ItisTripp]

This is your future self in 2023 letting you know you are going to go through hard times but you are going to keep fighting through it.

[@newspapertaxis1]

Trey had to hit his groove...but boy when he did.....WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chuckAWD]

As soon as Trey walked on stage, the crowd absolutely exploded. It sounded like a hurricane just blew in then he played this amazing shape solo which just blew my mind. Thats how you get a crowd going. The solo was perfect, just like another LIOG inside of LIOG. Beginning, build, climactic, then beautiful one measure ending. Amazing.

[@cozmo525]

4:52 melts my face everytime I listen....everytime mates!

[@GratefulDeadPhish]

This song over the years told me a couple of things. To believe and never give up

[@JBreitenbach388]

First time I ever saw Trey. So great.

[@hikerboy14]

These guys have been playing together since the mid 90's. I don't think Dave has to show Trey anything. They know each other very well, and know the music of the other very well. This is as good as I have heard them play together. Two very good musicians having a good time...

[@evoshandor11]

I love you Trey,,,,,and Dave. I really love all of you and I am so happy to share this strange 3 dimensional reality with all of you.

[@travisschieber]

I'm so happy this was recorded

[@fox2mike28]

Ah man, That version is a tearjerker. Hang in there, Trey, we are all rooting for you!

[@CameronMayfield719]

Absolutely thrilling by all means. So beautiful hearing everyone. Wow.

[@kevmehl]

unbelievable...just magic

[@seeldig]

absolutly amazing concert.. trey owned this song!!

[@imagodolboy]

give me the chills everytime

[@TheRogueDriver]

This one get me almost to tears. To know what Trey was going through shortly before that concert and the way he brought it in that solo. It was like redemption on a spiritual level. DMB wanted him to bring it and you could tell that they loved what was happening up there. When Trey breaks it loose after 6:00 you can hear the love from the crowd. To have been there would have been epic!

[@jasari1986]

This was Trey's first big moment back. The beginning of the solo is as apprehensive as I can ever remember him being. Over a few minutes, and attempts, he gets it going and builds something absolutely beautiful. The 5-19-01 version is 2000x better than this, but the raw emotion makes this my slight favorite.

[@andybishop3454]

Jonathan Pol LOVE SOBER TREY

[@Beizie87]

it really is all there in this solo, super cathartic. he was going through alot at that time

[@AdamRek]

just amazing. great. im in love with it. really.

[@ToolahTheGreat]

Man...that was a magical performance....

[@itskvs]

This is unbeilable thank you for sharing !!

[@cccorkerton]

Mr. Anastasio killed it. 2/3s through i audibly lost the other guitars,and DMB is my favorite band.Trey nailed it.

[@rorydiamond2389]

so epic

[@jkidd5656]

amazing props to this video! what a great place to see the band every summer, now all the more for getting such an awesome guest and show! TOGA TOGA TOGA 4 LIFE BABY!!!

[@JohnLambrechts]

gave me the chills

[@ant5marching]

Thanks for the upload. this is great!

[@SpassMacher2000]

this was my first DMB show. When Trey came out, man, I still get goosebumps today thinking about it. It was incredible. I will be back to SPAC next summer. Definitely the best concert I have ever been to.

[@nl1281]

Guitar sounds like years of numbed out emotions being let loose at 6:40, you can hear the pain being released

[@beags12]

Wow...any of you that know about the old days, know that whoever was in attendance got a treat. I just saw this video as I live in TX now & due to getting older have gotten out of the jam band scene. However, seeing Trey back on stage with Dave, was amazing. And watching that solo grow starting around 3:20 into the video, to about 5:00 when the band and Dave got on pace, then at the 6:00 min mark when it got RAW. Sick. Brought me back to old school 92,93 &94 days when Trey tore it up.

[@jasonwilliammerrill]

Trey must be like "Thank you Carter!" - I love how he fumbles and then sorta looses it, then the crowd and the band bring him back up. Tears.

[@JWendel12]

I wish Trey and Carter made a band together. They mesh so well.

[@phanatic09]

and i've listened to this song over and over. treys playing is different, adapted, improvised, and brilliant. 5 min. and on is amazing...just feel the groove...

[@spd13062]

TREY RIPPING!!

[@spooninspoon]

Awesome performance. Trey really adds a great deal of magic to this song ...Thanks for uploading

[@rollingstoned58]

CHILLS!

[@deedisdone]

Best LIOG ever.

[@Mastas999]

Man i couldnt believe what i herd when i was listenin to this what a good show

[@keithpearson6900]

Most emorional trey I’ve ever seen. The recent GQ article make seing this again even better

[@Donovanvr]

SPAC!!!! Loved every minute of it

[@Antrieb530]

Trey is the man. He had to do "sober events" for part of his rehab and he was in a group with my good friend that was also in rehab. I went bowling with Trey Anastasio. Just the 3 of us!

[@sfpelkey]

goose bumps... awesome, thanks for sharing

[@frank60h]

magical.. great job by Dave to reach out to Trey and get him up there.. class act..

[@phunk97]

Thanks for sharing, that was awesome!

[@tylerbrown6459]

Wow

[@CAMiKiNSdAMNrITE]

thanks so much!

[@dooey139]

couldnt believe it was happening when i was watching it at the show. thank you.

[@OGKush555]

brings tears to my eyes and gives me goosebumps. sickness.

[@gianlucapaul]

The single thing that separates Trey from all others is his ability to keep his line going but pull in elements from the group. He keeps the tension building but makes the band move cohesively towards a the peak.

[@lonnyg5535]

He's come such a long way

[@Croutonza]

this sounds nice. thx for the post.

[@jtychy12]

it was unannounced, he just came out and the place went nuts

[@dfeld88]

Why is Trey so gooood!

[@adampensel4276]

Why did Boyd Tinsley even try after that? Jam should have ended as soon as Trey was done. That was unreal.

[@biegs28]

Haha you can kind of see everyone else on stage look around like "no Boyd don't do that. the song is over now"

[@dgmaffi]

Alex Bieger Listen to the whole thing here. Trey and Boyd actually play off each other beautifully. Unfortunately the youtube video cuts out half of this amazing performance. soundcloud.com/koch6/dmb-w-trey-anastasio-lie-in

[@jasonwilliammerrill]

I KNOW!!!!!!!! Fuck off Boyd... man Im glad he's gone

[@edgonzalez32]

thank you.

[@JesseLeiker]

Yeah....sounds like Trey Anastasio playing with Dave Matthews Band to me. amazing.

[@jdwrx01]

Man wish I was their!! i would have bugged if trey came out, wish he came out at spac...but amazing, powerful solo, amazing build up, goosebumps at its highpoint, he creates so much feeling, boyd has a little trouble sharing the spotlight but trey lets him know at 4:52 that it was time, carter is just amazing on the drums, him and trey feed off eachother real well in this, rock on trey your amazing, got my fingers crossed for next year!

[@Rhet0rik]

Anastasio is one of those guitar players who would play with any band out there, and probably show them up 99 percent of the time.

[@Jon-dj1wk]

Amazing how one player has more talent and heart then the rest of an entire band, really puts this Ams in their place …quickly

[@edgonzalez32]

this song was the best part of the concert. god damn i was so happy trey showed up. cant wait till spac this year. : )
