The All-Stars Came Out for HeadCount Benefit at The Cap

Trey Anastasio, Bob Weir, The Roots, Warren Haynes, Grace Potter and Bobby Keys all on the same stage. No, this was not a fantasy. It was the most recent HeadCount benefit concert, at the newly re-opened Capitol Theatre.

The evening was a celebration of democracy, the Theatre, and HeadCount board member Pete Shapiro's 40th birthday (Shapiro is the force behind the Theatre's reopening).

Weir had not played the Capitol Theatre in 40 years, following a legendary run of Grateful Dead shows there. Anastasio had not been there in 20. For many, it was their first time at the hallowed hall.

For many Phish fans in attendance, the highlight was Anastasio's unique performance of Phish classics "First Tube" and "Bathtub Gin" while backed by The Roots and the pounding percussion of Questlove.

The setlist featured classic after classic.
