Watch Phish Play “Breath and Burning” and “Blaze On” on _The Tonight Show_

October 11, 2016

 

After releasing their new album,
Big Boat, last Friday, Phish took to television in support of the effort, appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to play a couple of album cuts, “Breath and Burning” on the televised show and “Blaze On” for an online exclusive.

The group borrowed a horn section from Fallon’s house band The Roots for “Breath and Burning,” as Ian Hendrickson-Smith and David Guy added saxophone and trumpet, respectively, to the tune. Both musicians also play with Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings, and Guy was part of the horn section that joined Phish for their Halloween shows in 2009 and 2010. 

Watch both performances below.
