Phish lore dictates that on the 31st of October, a new album from start to finish will be covered in its’ entirety. The passing of David Bowie in 2016 was one that shook and continues to shake the music world. Phish paid homage to the “Thin White Duke” by performing his classic “Ziggy Stardust” at the MGM in Las Vegas last night. It was definitively one of Phish’s better Halloween offerings; with the Beatles’ “White Album” and Talking Heads’ “Remain in Light” being frontrunners for past highlights.
Vermont’s finest are currently supporting their new album, “Big Boat,” released October 7.
“Five Years”
