Phish - 'Birds of a Feather' Live Performance at Farm Aid Concert

Venue: New World Music Theatre Location: Tinley Park, Illinois, United States Date: October 3, 1998

In October 1998, Phish was in a prolific phase of their career, having released their album "The Story of the Ghost" earlier that year in April. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, incorporating more studio effects and a diverse range of musical styles. The live performance of "Birds of a Feather" at Farm Aid is particularly noteworthy not just for its musical content but also for its association with a significant cause aimed at supporting family farmers in America. Phish's participation in this concert underscores their commitment to social issues and positions them within a larger context of musicians advocating for causes they believe in. Additionally, this performance showcases their improvisational prowess, a hallmark of the band's live shows, and highlights their ability to connect with both fans and a broader audience supporting agricultural sustainability.
