Phish

In the fall of 1998, when Phish performed "Boogie on Reggae Woman" at the Hampton Coliseum, the band was experiencing a significant moment in their career. This recording was part of the "Hampton Comes Alive" album, which was released in 1999 and features highlights from a multi-night run in Hampton, Virginia. This live performance showcased Phish's improvisational prowess and their ability to merge different musical styles, a hallmark of their dynamic sound. Leading up to this recording, Phish had released their studio album "The Story of the Ghost" earlier in 1998, which further established their eclectic range. The Hampton shows were particularly notable for their celebratory atmosphere, reflecting the band's devoted fan base and their status as a leading force in the jam band scene. This era solidified Phish’s reputation for delivering unforgettable live performances, entwining complex jazz, rock, and funk influences into their setlists.
