Phish

In July 1991, Phish was actively establishing their reputation as a formidable live act, having released their third studio album, “Lawn Boy,” earlier that year. This album showcased the band's eclectic style and intricate musicianship, further enhancing their growing cult following. The live recording from July 21, 1991, at Arrowhead Ranch in Parksville, NY, captures the essence of Phish's early jam-band ethos, featuring extended improvisations and a diverse setlist that includes fan favorites like "Divided Sky" and "Mike's Song." By this time, Phish had honed their engaging live performances, intertwining seamless transitions and playful interactions with the audience, elements that would become hallmarks of their concerts. This era marked a pivotal moment before the band’s rise into mainstream popularity, setting the stage for their subsequent successes in the 1990s and beyond.
