Phish

The live recording from Phish's concert at Redbird Arena on August 17, 1997, captures the band at a pivotal moment in their career. Prior to this performance, Phish released their critically acclaimed album "Billy Breathes" in 1996, which marked a significant point in their evolution as a band. The album showcased a more mature sound, blending elements of rock, jazz, and bluegrass, and helped solidify their reputation within the jam band scene. Following the 1997 concert, Phish would enter a prolific phase, expanding their improvisational style and touring extensively. Notably, the year 1997 was part of their "The Great Went" era, where they started experimenting with setlists and longer jams, elevating their live shows and enhancing their connection with fans. The Redbird Arena show is a great example of their synergy and evolving musical prowess during this transformative time.
