Phish

On July 11, 1996, Phish performed at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in London, an important moment in their ongoing evolution as a band. At this time, they had recently released their album "Billy Breathes" in October 1996, which marked a turning point with a more polished sound and greater emphasis on songwriting. The live recording captures Set 2 of the performance, featuring notable tracks such as "Harry Hood" and "Bouncing Around the Room," showcasing the band's improvisational prowess and dynamic stage presence. During this period, Phish was gaining international attention, having developed a dedicated fan base and becoming a staple of the jam band scene.
