Phish

In October 2016, Phish was on the heels of their thirteenth studio album, "Big Boat," released in 2016. This period was significant for the band as they celebrated their ongoing evolution in sound and live performance, embracing both their long-standing fans and new listeners. The live recording from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas captures a notable show during their fall tour, with the performance featuring the rarely played "Have Mercy," which hadn’t been performed since June 4, 2011. This revival reflects Phish's penchant for deep cuts and the spontaneity of their live concerts. The event also included intricate teases and quotes, showcasing their improvisational prowess and engagement with their catalog. This concert exemplifies Phish's vibrant live presence, a hallmark of their career, and demonstrates how their performances often revisit older material while intertwining it with newfound energy and creativity.
