Live Phish 04.04.98 is a live album by American rock group Phish, which was recorded live at the Providence Civic Center in Providence, Rhode Island, on April 4, 1998, which serves as the third night of the four-night "Island Tour",
The short mini-run quickly became one of the most popular Phish performances of all time[citation needed], with the band mixing the funk of 1997 with the high-energy jams of the mid-1990s along with brand new compositions.
The first show in Rhode Island will always be remembered for its extended jams (even "Birds of a Feather" clocked in at 15 minutes). Highlights include a heavy, energetic 18-minute "Ghost" and one of the most celebrated versions of "Harry Hood" of the late 1990s. After a 12-minute "Brother", guitarist Trey Anastasio says the band will now play the "radio friendly" version, resulting in a humorous ten-second version of the song. Before the band played the next song, "Ghost", they inform the audience that the song is "radio un-friendly, because it's really long, and really slow".
In addition to being a CD release, this concert is available as a download in FLAC and MP3 formats at LivePhish.com.
