Phish has unveiled their latest archival live release via LivePhish. For this new official release, the band takes fans back to July 19th, 1991 at Somerville, MA’s Somerville Theatre. The performance marked Phish’s sixth stop at the Boston-area venue, where they were joined by The Giant Country Horns and Jon Fishman‘s mother, Mimi Fishman. The latest audio release out of Phish’s extensive vault marks only the second LivePhish release ever featuring The Giant Country Horns, which included Dave Grippo, Russell Remington, and Carl Gerhard.
This show featured The Giant Country Horns for all songs excluding “Fee”, “Squirming Coil”, “I Didn’t Know”, “My Sweet One”, and “Runaway Jim”. Phish’s first set featured noteworthy, horn-heavy takes on “Golgi Apparatus”, “David Bowie”, “You Enjoy Myself”, and “Gumbo”, the latter of which featured Jon Fishman on trombone. The band opened up their second set with a rockin’ “Suzy Greenberg”, which was followed up by exploratory renditions of “Tweezer”, “The Mango Song”, and “Big Black Furry Creature From Mars”.
Phish’s performance from July 19th, 1991 performance is now available for streaming for LivePhish+ subscribers. Fans can also download the recording here in multiple audio formats.
