Phish

In December 2011, during Phish's celebrated New Year's run at Madison Square Garden, the band was in a vibrant phase of their career, revitalized after a brief hiatus from 2004 to 2009. The live performance of "Rock and Roll" from December 28, 2011, showcased the band's improvisational prowess and deep connection with their fans. Just prior to this, in 2009, Phish released "Joy," their first studio album in five years, which marked a significant return to form and re-establishment in the jam band scene. By 2011, they had built a considerable momentum, touring extensively and featuring a mix of classic songs and new material, enriching their live shows.
