Phish

In May 2000, when Phish performed at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City, the band was riding high on the success of their album "Farmhouse," which had been released just a week earlier on May 16, 2000. This studio album marked a significant period in their career, as it was their first release after a hiatus and featured a more polished sound that broadened their appeal. The Roseland concert included the performance of "It's Ice," a track from their earlier album "Billy Breathes," showcasing their ability to seamlessly blend new material with fan favorites. This live recording captures a vibrant moment in Phish's evolution, where they were transitioning from their classic improvisational roots to a more songwriting-focused approach while still delivering dynamic live experiences. The fact that the band used a celebrated venue like Roseland highlights their continued popularity and influence in the music scene during this era.
