From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phish was a popular American rock band most noted for jamming and improvisation. The band's four members performed together for 21 years until their breakup in August 2004.
[edit] Studio albums
Although studio albums don't paint an entirely accurate picture of the band's creative talent, the band released many. They recorded their debut album, Phish, in 1986, playing 150 concerts in 1990 alone. They were signed to Elektra Records in 1991 and remained on the label for the duration of their studio career. All Phish albums feature the classic lineup of Trey Anastasio, Mike Gordon, Jon Fishman, and Page McConnell.
