The latest lineup of Trey Anastasio’s TAB ensemble debuted their version of Windora Bug, a song that has been part of the Phish front man’s solo repertoire since his very first tour, last night at the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Anastasio engaged bassist Tony Markellis in a bit of a discussion during the reggae tune telling him that “a bumblebee is a bug too” leading the horn section to respond with a taste of Flight of the Bumble-Bee. Eventually Trey asked Tony, “is that your hair or a rug,” and then the pair changed the normal Windora Bug lyrics to “Is that your hairora rug?”

Thanks for sharing, Scotty! I remember cracking up when they did the “hairora rug” lyrics the first time I saw TAB play the song, 2/24/01. (I was lucky enough to catch both Phish versions.)
