“Gotta Jibboo” was premiered by Anastasio, Markellis and Lawton at Higher Ground in Winooski, Vermont on February 15, 1999 during what’s considered the first
Trey Anastasio Band show. Then, the three-piece played the song 10 times the following May as part of their debut tour.
Trey brought “Gotta Jibboo” to Phish later in 1999. Despite the trio performances in May, the Phish debut came on the second night of their Fall 1999 tour at The Gorge on September 10, 1999 as the quartet didn’t play the song the previous summer. “Gotta Jibboo” is a staple of the TAB repertoire as for example the group performed the song eight times over the course of their 12-show January 2020 run.
Amy Helm shared her version of Daniel Norgen's "Are We Running Out Of Love," which is set to land on the singer-songwriter's upcoming album, 'What The Flood Leaves Behind,' due out in June.
