Phish Performance of 'Driver' at Sessions at West 54th, New York
On October 20, 1998, Phish performed "Driver" during a live session for "Sessions at West 54th" in New York City. This recording took place shortly after the release of the band's album "The Story of the Ghost," which came out in 1998, reflecting a period of significant creative exploration for the group. "The Story of the Ghost" marked a stylistic evolution for Phish, showcasing their venture into more complex song structures and lyrical themes. Additionally, the year 1998 was notable for the band as they were getting ready for a brief hiatus in 2000, leading to this performance being part of a vibrant live phase in their career. During this show, the setlist included several signature Phish songs, highlighting their eclectic musical influences and improvisational prowess, which have made them a cornerstone of the jam band scene.
