Phish will issue official audio of their November 27, 1996 concert at Key Arena in Seattle this Friday, July 2 via LivePhish.com. Archivist Kevin Shapiro spun tracks from the forthcoming release on SiriusXM’s Phish Radio for the latest episode of From The Archives which premiered on Monday and will re-air throughout the week.
The quartet’s Key Arena debut came towards the tail end of their extensive Fall Tour 1996. Phish celebrated the late Jimi Hendrix birthday in his hometown by covering “Bold As Love” to end the evening’s first set and “Fire” to end the second set.
Phish kicked off the closing stanza in Seattle with an adventurous “Down With Disease” that spanned well beyond the lauded 20-minute mark. A stellar cover of ZZ Top’s “Jesus Just Left Chicago” came next as the four-piece left “Disease” unfinished. Then, “Scent Of A Mule” was followed by a ferocious “Tweezer” featuring a jam on Aerosmith’s “Sweet Emotion” that gave way to the end of “Down With Disease.” A number of Phish fans quickly dubbed the sequence the “Diseezer” and the nickname stuck.
Audio featuring Phish’s November 27, 1996 show will be available for download via LivePhish.com starting on Friday. LivePhish+ subscribers will be able to stream the recording the same day. Tonight, Phish wraps their Dinner And A Movie archival video series (for now) by broadcasting the group’s July 20, 1991 concert at Arrowhead Ranch in Parksville, New York.
