Phish to Release Hampton/Winston-Salem ’97 Box Set

Phish has just announced the long awaited 7 CD Box Set  showcasing three complete shows from 1997.

The box set will include 2 nights at the Hamton Coliseum in Virginia, and one night at the legendary Memorial Coliseum, in Winston-Salem, NC.

According to Jemp Records who is releasing the CD set on December 6th:

“These shows were a memorable triad for the band and fans. They are among the most requested shows for release from the Phish Archives and make up a compelling slice of the twenty-two-show tour that stretched from Las Vegas to Albany. The Hampton/Winston-Salem ’97shows were packed with notable renditions of classics including “Split Open And Melt”, “AC/DC Bag”, “Slave To The Traffic Light”, “Mike’s Song”, “Halley’s Comet”, “Tweezer”, “Run Like An Antelope”, “Stash” and “Bathtub Gin”.
