Phish, the iconic jam band known for their improvisational live performances, made a memorable appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The band, consisting of Trey Anastasio, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon, and Page McConnell, brought their unique sound and energy to the late-night show.
The highlight of their appearance was a performance of their song “Evolve,” off their latest album “Sigma Oasis.” The band delivered a powerful rendition of the song, showcasing their musical prowess and tight-knit chemistry. The performance was a reminder of why Phish has been able to maintain a dedicated fan base for over three decades.
But the real surprise of the night came when Phish joined forces with host Jimmy Fallon and house band The Roots for a hilarious cover of Aerosmith’s “Love in an Elevator.” The song was aptly renamed “Phish in an Elevator” and featured Fallon on lead vocals, with the band providing their signature funky sound. The performance was a playful nod to the band’s improvisational nature and their ability to have fun on stage.
Phish also sat down with Fallon for a brief interview, where they discussed their upcoming tour and the challenges of performing live during the pandemic. The band expressed their excitement to hit the road again and connect with their fans in person.
The appearance on The Tonight Show was just the beginning of a busy year for Phish. The band recently announced a 2022 summer tour, which will kick off in Arkansas and include stops in major cities across the United States. This will be their first tour since 2019, as the band had to cancel their 2020 tour due to the pandemic.
Phish has proven time and time again that they are a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Their ability to constantly evolve and surprise their fans with new and exciting performances is a testament to their talent and dedication. As they continue to push the boundaries of their music, fans can’t wait to see what Phish has in store for the future.
