Phish

In December 2010, Phish was riding high on the resurgence of their career following their reunion in 2009 after a hiatus. By this time, the band had recently released their album "Joy" in 2009, which marked a significant return to form and included fan favorites that showcased their blend of improvisational rock and songwriting. The New Year's Eve show at Madison Square Garden, where the live recording of "Meatstick → Auld Lang Syne → After Midnight" took place, is notable not only for its festive atmosphere but also for being part of an iconic venue's tradition of New Year's celebrations. Phish is well-known for their unique and unexpected live performances, and this concert exemplifies their ability to blend humor and tradition, particularly with their playful "Meatstick" choreography, which has become a hallmark of their live shows. The event solidified their status as a beloved live band with a dedicated following.
