Phish

In February 2003, during the performance at U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Phish had just released their album "Round Room" the previous year, in late 2002. This period marked a significant phase for the band, as "Round Room" was their first studio album after their hiatus from 2000 to 2002. The live recording captures the band in a dynamic and exploratory phase, showcasing their improvisational prowess, particularly through the extended jam in "Mike's Song" seamlessly transitioning into "Free." This concert took place during a tour that was crucial for revitalizing the band's connection with their fanbase, following their reunion. The performance exemplifies Phish's distinctive blending of rock, jazz, and bluegrass elements, emphasizing their reputation for spontaneous, eclectic live shows. The Cincinnati concert remains a notable entry in the band's extensive live repertoire, highlighting their continued evolution as a live act.
