HAMPTON COMES ALIVE responded to the age-old query, "What could be better than one full Phish concert?" The answer: two full Phish concerts. AT THE ROXY, though, takes that train of thought even further down the line by presenting three entire Phish concerts over the course of eight discs. Standout tracks of this more-than-eight-hour offering by the Vermont jam band include the groovy "AC/DC Bag" and the silly epic "Fluffhead."

Rolling Stone (p.129) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "On Disc Five, guitarist Trey Anastasio, keyboardist Page McConnell, bassist Mike Gordon adn drummer Jon Fishman play for 60 non-stop minutes, weaving sharp funk grooves, virtuosic-bluegrass-esque ditties, mellifluous instrumentals and goofy covers into one big, glorious mess." Signal To Noise (magazine) (p.52) - "The band is irresistibly mischievous, and when they succeed, the music can be addictive. They have more in common with the attitude and virtuosity of improvisers like Han Bennink and Misha Mengelberg than you might expect."

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.
