Phish

The live recording of "Meat" from the Star Lake Amphitheatre, captured on August 11, 1998, was later included in the "Star Lake 98" 2-DVD set released on December 11, 2012. This period marks a significant era in Phish’s career when they were achieving considerable commercial success and expanding their fanbase. Prior to this, Phish released their album "The Story of the Ghost" in 1998, which was well received but marked a shift in their sound. By the time of the live recording, the band was known for their improvisational prowess and unique live performances, solidifying their place in the jam band scene. Notably, the "Meat" track showcases their playful approach to songwriting, often blending humor with musical complexity, which became a hallmark of their extensive live repertoire. The DVD release serves as a retrospective, highlighting Phish's creative peak during the late '90s and their sustained commitment to live music.
