Phish

On October 31, 1996, Phish performed a pivotal Halloween show in Atlanta, Georgia, where they famously covered the entire "Remain in Light" album by the Talking Heads as part of their second set. This concert came shortly after the release of their album "Billy Breathes," which was issued in 1996 and marked a period of increased mainstream recognition for the band. Notably, "Billy Breathes" included hit tracks like "Free" and "Waste," showcasing Phish's evolving sound and lyrical depth. The Halloween show is significant not only for its ambitious cover but also for the continued evolution of Phish's improvisational style and live performance reputation. This event exemplified their tradition of thematic Halloween shows, where they honor influential albums, reflecting their diverse musical influences and connection with fans. The performance is now often celebrated as one of their classic sets in their extensive live catalog.
