As Phish prepares to kick off an eight-show spring tour this weekend, LivePhish has released Live Bait Vol. 19. Per custom, the compilation features memorable live tracks from past performances in each market the band will visit this year on tour.
The 17-song collection, available to stream and download for free via LivePhish, was compiled by Phish archivist Kevin Shapiro from recordings captured by Paul Languedoc (tracks 1–6, 8–11, and 15–16), Garry Brown (tracks 12 and 17), and Jon Altschiller (tracks 7 and 14).
