Phish

On July 22, 1997, during the performance captured at the Walnut Creek Amphitheater in Raleigh, North Carolina, Phish was at a significant point in their career. This live recording of "Taste" came shortly after the release of their album "Billy Breathes," which was released in October 1996. "Billy Breathes" is often noted for its more melodic and introspective nature, showcasing a matured sound compared to their earlier works, and features popular tracks that have become staples in their live sets. By 1997, Phish was solidifying their reputation as a premier live act, known for their improvisational prowess and dedicated fan base, often referred to as "Phishheads." The band's performances during this era were marked by extended jams and a sense of experimentation, which is exemplified in the rendition of "Taste" performed at this concert. This period also included their memorable summer tour, which was pivotal in expanding their audience.
