Phish Full Concert - 10/29/2016 at MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas

Venue: MGM Grand Garden Arena Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States Date: October 29, 2016

On October 29, 2016, Phish performed at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, during their fall tour. At this point in their career, the band had just released their album "Big Boat" in October 2016, which was their thirteenth studio album. "Big Boat" received mixed reviews but showcased the band’s evolving sound, offering a blend of jam band elements and more structured songwriting. During the Las Vegas show, notable moments included Trey Anastasio teasing “Call to the Post” during "Gumbo" and “Live and Let Die” in "Tweezer," highlighting the band's knack for playful nods to various musical influences. Additionally, Anastasio's use of the Marimba Lumina during "I Always Wanted It This Way" demonstrated Phish's innovative approach to live instrumentation and improvisation, reinforcing their reputation for spontaneous and dynamic live performances.
