Phish

On June 26, 1994, Phish was on the verge of a significant breakthrough in their career, having recently released their album *Rift* in April of that year. This studio album showcased their evolving sound and complex arrangements, further solidifying their reputation in the jam band scene. The live recording from this concert at Municipal Auditorium in Charleston, WV, captures the band at a pivotal moment, just as they were gaining momentum and a devoted fanbase. Interestingly, *Rift* is notably one of Phish's more theatrical works, featuring a narrative that runs throughout the album, which was unusual for the band’s typically more improvisational style. The performance of "Tela," a song known for its lyrical depth, reflects Phish's ability to blend storytelling with intricate musicianship, making this concert a highlight as they transitioned from club shows to larger venues.
