Phish

In August 1997, when Phish performed "Bathtub Gin" during The Great Went, they were in the midst of a remarkably creative phase in their career. The band had recently released their studio album "Billy Breathes" in 1996, which marked a stylistic shift towards a more refined sound compared to their earlier work. This live recording showcases the band's extraordinary improvisational skills and chemistry, particularly evident in the extended jam segment that begins around the 7-minute mark. The Great Went was a significant event, featuring two nights of performances in a unique setting, which reflected Phish's growing reputation as a leading force in the jam band scene. Interesting to note, this festival was their first large-scale event after the success of their album 'Billy Breathes,' further solidifying their fanbase and influence in the 1990s music landscape.
