Twenty Years Later: Phish Concludes Clifford Ball On This Date In 1996
Phish’s announcement was accompanied by recipes from Betty Frost. The “Longtime Phish Staffer” shared recipes for Leftover Turkey Meatballs in a Thai Coconut Curry broth, Chocolate Dipped Coconut Balls and a Kale Caesar salad with Roasted Squash and Rosemary Focaccia. Head here for the recipes designed to utilize Thanksgiving leftovers.
Clifford Ball was the first major festival organized by Phish. The event drew approximately 70,000 fans to upstate New York and served as a prototype for many festivals that followed including Bonnaroo. “There’s no underplaying the significance that Phish had, as a band and as an organization, in the direct development of Bonnaroo,” the Manchester, Tennessee-based festival’s co-founder Rick Farman told The Tennessean in 2019 interview.
