Phish

On November 2, 1990, when Phish performed "David Bowie" at the Glenn Miller Ballroom in Boulder, Colorado, the band was in the midst of their early career, having released their album "Lawn Boy" earlier that year, in 1990. "Lawn Boy" showcased the band's eclectic musical style and laid the groundwork for their evolving sound. This live performance is notable not just for the song's intricate composition and improvisational elements, but also for how it captures the band's growing confidence and stage presence during this formative period. Additionally, the Boulder show occurred mere months after Phish's debut at the famed venue, which had become a regular stop for the group. This performance and the broader tour in which it occurred helped to solidify Phish's reputation as a captivating live act, setting the stage for their future success as masters of live improvisation.
