Phish

In June 2000, Phish was in a significant phase of their career, having released their album "Farmhouse" just a few weeks prior, on April 12, 2000. This album marked a transition for the band, incorporating a more streamlined and accessible sound while retaining their improvisational roots. The Japan performance on June 11, 2000, showcases this blend, featuring tracks from "Farmhouse," like "Bug" and "Farmhouse" itself, alongside fan favorites. Notably, this era also reflected their effort to reach international audiences, as it was part of a broader tour that distinguished them as a complex live act capable of adapting to different settings and cultures. Engaging performances like these helped solidify their status as innovators in the jam band scene during the late '90s and early 2000s.
