Performer: Phish
Engineer: Paul Languedoc
Distributor: Alternative Dis. Alliance

Notes: Personnel: Mike Gordon , Jonathan Fishman, Page McConnell, Trey Anastasio. Recording information: Ervin J. Nutter Center, Dayton, OH (12/07/1997). This LIVEPHISH recording presents everyone's favorite Vermont-based jam ensemble performing in Dayton, Ohio, during late 1997. Standout tracks of the two-disc concert album include a fairly faithful version of Talking Heads' restless "Psycho Killer," the spacey "Dayton Jam," and the funky, Warren Zevon-like "Wolfman's Brother," all of which showcase the band's amazingly tight, intuitive interplay.

Of all the jam bands to emerge in the late-1980s and early-'90s, Phish were widely regarded as the inheritors to the Grateful Dead's throne. While the group's jazzy, mercurial sound was more progressive and light-hearted than the Dead's, Phish's massive, adoring following modeled themselves after the vagabond Dead Heads, calling themselves "Phish Heads." After letting off steam through various side projects (Oysterhead, Vida Blue) and sabbaticals, Phish finally called it quits in 2004.
