Phish - Performance of 'Walk Away' at Woodbury Ski & Racquet Club
In April 1990, when Phish performed their cover of "Walk Away" by the James Gang at the Woodbury Ski & Racquet Club, they were in a pivotal stage of their career. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their second studio album, "Lawn Boy," which came out in 1990 and showcased their evolving sound characterized by a blend of improvisational rock and diverse musical styles. Phish's live concerts around this time were marked by their unique ability to seamlessly blend covers and original material, demonstrating their influences while simultaneously building a distinct identity within the jam band scene. Notably, their performances in the early 90s helped cultivate a dedicated fan base and set the stage for their future success, as they began to establish themselves as a prominent force in live music, drawing crowds eager for expansive, adventurous musical experiences.
