They basically wrote the book on the modern rock festival. They were called the most important band of the 1990s by Rolling Stone and capped off that decade with 90,000 people at their millennial festival in the Florida Everglades. The band devoured every type of musical influence you could name, mixed it all up, and came up with a sound uniquely their own. Their concerts were events-full of theatrics, audience participation, and virtuosic playing. They grew slowly and through word of mouth. They got their start playing three sets a night in the college bars of Burlington, Vermont. Phish are guitarist Trey Anastasio, bassist Mike Gordon, drummer Jon Fishman, and keyboardist Page McConnell. They’re just four guys who met at college in Vermont and loved to practice, loved to play, and were committed to giving their fans a transcendent experience every night. They’ve never had a hit single, they made one music video that went nowhere. Since 1983 Phish have pioneered a genre-defying style of improvisational rock and earned themselves one of the most devoted fan bases of all time. Their Fans and Ice Cream Are Protecting A Lake
