Venue: The Gorge Amphitheatre Location: George, Washington, United States Date: July 17, 1998

On July 17, 1998, Phish performed at the Gorge Amphitheatre, a venue renowned for its stunning views and acoustic properties. At this point in their career, Phish had recently released their album "The Story of the Ghost" earlier in 1998. This record showcased their artistic growth and experimentation with different styles, marking a shift in their sound compared to earlier works. The live recording features notable songs such as "Mike’s Song," "Weekapaug Groove," and "Character Zero," all of which highlight the band’s improvisational prowess and connection with the audience. Interestingly, the performance is part of the "The Great Went," a celebrated festival that took place not long after, further cementing Phish's status as one of the leading jam bands of the era. The dynamic setlist from this show reflects their ability to weave complex musical narratives while maintaining a playful atmosphere.
