Phish - The Wedge Live Performance at The Gorge Amphitheater
In August 2011, during the performance of "The Wedge" at the Gorge Amphitheater, Phish was in the midst of a dynamic phase of their career post-reunion, which began in 2009 after a hiatus. Prior to this live recording, the band released their album "Joy" in 2009, followed by "Beacon Jams," a series of live streams in 2020. The band has developed a reputation for their improvisational prowess and diverse setlists, which were exemplified during this Gorge performance. Notably, the venue itself, known for its stunning natural scenery and acoustics, has hosted Phish numerous times, becoming a staple location for their tours. The 2011 concert also featured a mix of classic tunes and newer material, reflecting their ability to blend legacy with innovation, appealing to both longtime fans and new listeners.
