** The Coventry Festival, which ended that 2004 tour and were the band's last shows until they reunited, is considered to be the lowest point of the band's career. The festival was a TroubledProduction, hampered by sound issues, horrible weather and gridlocked traffic. As far as the actual music, it was often very clear that the band were too upset to perform at certain points. This culminated in a horrible, messy version of "Glide" during the festival's final concert that is usually considered to be the band's worst onstage moment. The band would recover with a great "Split Open and Melt" right after that, but that final show in general is considered to be one of the worst they ever played. Although Coventry is an important part of the band's history and does have a few songs worth recommending, it is not considered to be an easy listen. Happily, the band has been in ''significantly'' better form since they reunited in 2009.

** Almost all Phish fans agree that the band is best heard through live concert recordings instead of their studio albums. However, there is no such consensus as to what their best studio album is. ''A Picture of Nectar'', ''Rift'', ''Billy Breathes'' and ''The Story of the Ghost'' are the usual top-tier suspects as they are generally considered to be very good albums, but there's a lot of disagreement on to how to rank them, and you'll find just as many fans vouching for ''Junta'' or ''Lawn Boy'' or ''Hoist'' or even ''The Siket Disc'' being just as good.

Mike Gordon heard the tune on a Caribbean vacation in the late 1980s, fell in love with it, and taught it to the rest of the band when he got back to Vermont.

Not only that, but the show is widely considered to be one of Phish's all-time best concerts, with the band bringing both quantity and quality. Tell me with a straight face that isn't impressive.

The official soundboard feed for all of the band's concerts since 2002 are available for download or streaming on their website. Let us not forget the fan tapes, either: Over ''1500'' of the band's concerts, roughly 85% of the shows they've played since their formation in 1983, are circulating as completely legal fan-taped recordings. The sheer amount of these tapes make Phish the second most thoroughly documented act in pop music history, after Music/TheGratefulDead.

** A favorite show of hardcore fans is the June 14, 2000 concert at the Drum Logos club in Fukuoka, Japan, captured on ''Live Phish 4''. The show is part of Phish's second Japanese tour, where they played in small clubs to audiences full of Japanese noise-rock fans and American fans so devoted to the band that they traveled ''across the planet'' to see them play, giving the show a very homey, relaxed vibe. According to lore, Phish partook in some particularly psychedelic magic mushrooms before the show, and that caused the band to take their music in spacey, unexpected directions that night. The first set is well loved for its offbeat psychedelic jazz feel, while the second set is one of the most exploratory sets the band ever played, featuring two wild psychedelic jams and an 18 minute ambient version of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DUhX_x5GeU Twist]]" that is considered to be definitive version of that song.
