Phish

In August 2021, Phish was actively engaging with their fanbase after a hiatus due to the pandemic. This performance of "Split Open and Melt" at the Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville came during their Summer 2021 tour, marking the band's return to live performances. Prior to this, they released their album "Sigma Oasis" in April 2020, demonstrating their continued creativity during unprecedented times. The album showcases their unique blend of rock, jazz, and blues elements, solidifying their reputation as a staple in the jam band scene. During the 2021 concert, the band’s improvisational prowess was on full display, especially in a fan-favorite like "Split Open and Melt," which highlights their ability to craft extended jams and engage with the audience. Phish's return to the stage in 2021 symbolized a revival for both the band and their dedicated fans, eager to experience live music once again.
