On December 28, 2019, Phish performed “Rocky Top” at Madison Square Garden in New York City, a venue synonymous with the band's storied live history. This performance took place during the band’s New Year’s run, a multi-show tradition that showcases their improvisational prowess and fan-centric celebrations. Leading up to this concert, Phish had released "Farms", an EP in 2019, marking a continuation of their innovative approach to music-making after their 2017 studio album "Big Boat".
