Coral Sky

Coral Sky is a humid, electric snapshot of a band in the midst of a profound stylistic metamorphosis. Recorded at the Coral Sky Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach during the Fall 1996 tour, this performance finds Phish shedding the frantic, zany complexity of their early years in favor of a deeper, more patient rhythmic pocket. The addition of guest percussionist Karl Perazzo, of Santana, is the catalyst here, transforming the four-piece into a polyrhythmic engine. The result is a sound that is denser and more textured than their standard live outings, characterized by a thick sonic profile that feels as heavy as the Florida air.
