Phish
Phish Full Concert at Gorge Amphitheatre featuring Tube, Funky Bitch, and more
By September 11, 1999, when Phish performed at the Gorge Amphitheatre, the band was riding high on the success of their studio album "The Story of the Ghost," which had been released earlier that year. This album showcased the band’s evolution, incorporating both jazz and rock influences, which was apparent in their live performances. The concert at the Gorge is notable not only for its scenic backdrop but also for the band's unique setlist, which included a mix of fan favorites and improvisational jams. The show exemplified Phish's commitment to live performance, as each song was often extended with lyrical improvisation and dynamic interplay among band members. This concert also occurred during the peak of Phish's popularity, just prior to the commencement of their ambitious "The Island Tour" in 2000, marking a crucial time in their career where they began to explore more experimental sounds in their live sets.
