Phish - Shine A Light (Partial) Performance at Festival 8

Venue: Empire Polo Club Location: Indio, California, United States Date: October 31, 2009

On October 31, 2009, Phish performed at Festival 8 in Indio, California, marking a significant event in their career following their reunion in 2009. Prior to this live recording, the band released their album "Joy" in September 2009, which was their first studio album since their hiatus from 2004 to 2009. "Joy" featured a more polished sound and showcased the band's evolving musical style while still incorporating their classic jam band elements. Festival 8 was particularly memorable as it included a Halloween set where the band performed the classic Velvet Underground album "Loaded" in its entirety. This performance not only highlighted Phish's ability to celebrate musical history but also their strong connection with their fanbase, as their themed sets are a beloved tradition. The recording of "Shine A Light," though partial, captures the vibrant energy of the festival and the band's dynamic performance style during this pivotal moment in their career.
