Phish

In October 1995, during the live performance captured in "Harry Hood" at the Spokane Opera House, Phish was in the midst of a prolific period in their career. This concert occurred shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album "Billy Breathes," which had come out in October 1996. "Billy Breathes" marked a significant evolution in Phish's sound, incorporating more structured melodies and lyrical themes, reflecting their growing maturity as a band. The Spokane show is notable not only for the stirring rendition of "Harry Hood," a fan favorite known for its uplifting jam, but also because it showcases Phish's unique ability to blend intricate musicianship with spontaneous improvisation. By this point, Phish had solidified its reputation as a live band, with extended tours and a dedicated fan base, establishing them as central figures in the improvisational rock scene.
