Phish

On October 27, 2013, Phish performed at the Hartford Civic Center, opening their set with a cover of Lou Reed's "Rock and Roll" just hours after Reed's passing, which added a poignant layer to the performance. At this stage in their career, Phish had recently released their studio album "Fuego" in 2014, following a series of highly acclaimed tours and the significant hiatus between 2004 and 2009. The choice to honor Reed during the concert highlights the band’s deep connection to rock history and their ability to incorporate it into live performances. Furthermore, this concert reflects Phish's trademark improvisational style, particularly evident in their live recordings, making each show a unique experience for fans. The emotional context of the night added to the already dynamic atmosphere for those in attendance.
