Phish

In June 1989, when Phish performed "Fee" at The Paradise in Boston, they were in the early stages of their career, having just released their self-titled debut album, *Phish*, in 1989. This album was a crucial step in establishing their unique blend of rock, jazz, and improvisational music, setting the stage for their future as a pioneering jam band. At this point, Phish was still developing their sound and fan base, known for their energetic live performances and intricate songwriting. The performance of "Fee," with its playful lyrics and dynamic composition, exemplifies their burgeoning creativity and ability to engage audiences, which would eventually lead to their status as one of the most iconic live bands.
