Phish

On August 17, 1997, Phish performed at The Great Went Festival in Limestone, Maine, delivering an iconic version of "Bathtub Gin" that is often celebrated among fans. This live recording occurred during a prolific period in the band's career, shortly after the release of their album "Billy Breathes" in October 1996. By 1997, Phish was gaining substantial recognition for their improvisational style and elaborate live shows, which were integral to their identity as a jam band. The Great Went, being a significant outdoor festival, further exemplified Phish's ability to create an immersive concert experience. Notably, this performance took place during a time when the band was exploring new sonic landscapes and honing their live setlist to include extended improvisation, making the "Bathtub Gin" from that show a significant highlight in their extensive live catalog.
