Phish is
a band known for musical improvisation, extended jams, blending of
genres, and a dedicated fan base. Originating at the University of
Vermont in 1983 (with the current line-up solidifying in 1985), the
band's four members - Trey Anastasio (guitars, lead vocals), Mike Gordon (bass, vocals), Jon Fishman (drums, percussion, vacuum, vocals), and Page McConnell (keyboards,
vocals) - performed together for nearly 20 years before going on hiatus
in August 2004. They reunited in March 2009 for a series of three
consecutive concerts played in the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton,
Virginia, and have since resumed performing regularly.
