Phish Full Concert - 1997 Loreley Performance Featuring Taste, Water in the Sky, and More
On June 22, 1997, Phish performed a memorable concert at Loreley, St. Goarshausen, Germany, during a pivotal period in their career. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their album "Billy Breathes" in 1996, which marked a significant evolution in their sound, showcasing a more polished and accessible style while still containing their characteristic improvisational flair. Phish was touring extensively in Europe during the summer of 1997, a time when they were gaining substantial popularity. The band began to incorporate elements like funk and ambient soundscapes into their live performances, as evident in setlists from this era. Notably, a distinctive feature of Phish shows, including this one, is the playful and intricate arrangements, as well as the seamless transitions between songs—qualities that have solidified their legacy in the jam band scene.
