Phish: Lawn Boy Performance with Carl Gerhard at Arrowhead Ranch
Venue: Arrowhead Ranch
Location: Parksville, New York, United States
Date: July 21, 1991
In July 1991, when Phish performed at Arrowhead Ranch, they were riding high on the success of their album "Lawn Boy," which had been released just months earlier in April of that year. "Lawn Boy" marked a significant step in their evolution, showcasing their eclectic style with influences from rock, jazz, and progressive music. Notably, the album features their well-known track "Bathtub Gin," which would become a staple in their live shows. The presence of trumpeter Carl Gerhard in this recording adds a unique layer to the live performance, highlighting Phish's openness to collaboration and experimentation. By 1991, the band had already established a loyal following and was gaining recognition for their improvisational skills and energetic performances, setting the stage for their future successes in the jam band scene.
