Phish have announced that the next LivePhish archival release will be their July 21, 1997 show at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater in Virginia Beach, Va. The show is highlighted by a sit-in by the late Dave Matthews Band saxophonist LeRoi Moore, who joined Phish for the jam out of “Theme From The Bottom” and “Funky Bitch.”
The new release will be available to stream and purchase on LivePhish.com starting at midnight ET on July 24. It will also be played in full at 9 p.m. ET tonight (Jul. 23) on Phish Radio on SiriusXM.
The show was chosen for the band's Dinner and a Movie broadcast series and aired on May 19. It was the first show of the band's 1.0 era (1983-2000) to be highlighted for the series. They have since aired two more 1.0 selections: June 19, 1995 and the second set of Phish's May 1, 1989 performance.
