On July 21, 1993, Phish performed at the Orange County Fairgrounds during the HORDE Festival, showcasing their signature blend of genres and improvisational style. At this point in their career, Phish had recently released their fourth studio album, “Rift,” in 1993, which included more intricate compositions and narratives compared to their earlier work. "Maze," the song highlighted in the performance, is a fan favorite known for its complex structure and dynamic solos, particularly Trey Anastasio's fervent guitar work, which was indeed "on FIRE" during this show. The band's reputation for electric live performances was solidifying, as they gained a larger following and became staples in the jam band scene. This period marked a significant growth phase for Phish, showcasing their evolution as musicians and performers onstage.
