Phish

On October 1, 2000, Phish performed "Piper" in Phoenix, Arizona, during a period marked by significant transformation for the band. Prior to this recording, they had released their album *Farmhouse* in 2000, which showcased a more polished sound and included notable songs like "Farmhouse" and "Back on the Train." This live performance captured the band in a vibrant phase, as they were reinvigorating their improvisational style after returning from a hiatus in 1999. The "Phish: Live in Vegas" DVD, which includes this performance, underscores the band's commitment to live music, highlighting their dynamic engagement with audiences. By this time, Phish had solidified their reputation for extended jams and musical exploration, making live recordings like this one essential to their discography and fan experience.
