Phish Performance of 'My Friend, My Friend' at Evergreen State University

Venue: Evergreen State College Location: Olympia, Washington, United States Date: November 30, 1994

On November 30, 1994, during the performance featured in the video "My Friend, My Friend" at the Recreation Center at Evergreen State University, Phish was in the midst of a highly prolific period in their career. This recording occurred shortly after the band released their critically acclaimed album "Hoist," which came out in May of that same year. "Hoist" marked a significant moment for the band, as it showcased a more polished sound while still maintaining their signature improvisational style. The band was gaining a prominent following during this era, known for their dynamic live performances and unique blending of genres. The 1994 tour, in particular, is often remembered for its creativity and experimentation, reflecting their artistic growth. Notably, this performance also exemplifies the band's penchant for narrative and theatrical elements within their music, especially highlighted by the song’s eerie ending.
