Niagara Falls (Phish Album)
''Niagara Falls'' is a three-CD live album by the rock band Phish. It contains the complete concert recorded on December 7, 1995, at the Niagara Falls Convention Center in Niagara Falls, New York. It was released by JEMP Records on November 12, 2013. Critical reception On AllMusic, Thom Jurek said, "Given Phish's musical renaissance after their reunion in 2008, revisiting the band's past is often useful for the purpose of hearing just what made them such a dominant force on the early jam band scene in the first place. This date, recorded at the Niagara Falls Convention Center in December of 1995, is a prime example.... The sound captured is simply pristine; the show is top flight.... It's not just Phish's tight command of the material that's so remarkable, but the improvisational interplay that takes place inside an intricate, often knotty set of musical parameters. As evidenced by ''Niagara Falls'', playing and performing like this set the band apart in the early years — bef ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
