Phish: New Year's Eve 1993 Live At Worcester Centrum Box Set

A new archival Phish release covers their first big NYE show in full as 5LP and 3CD box sets. The audio on New Year's Eve 1993 Live At Worcester Centrum was recorded on 2-inch 24-track reels. The show features the instrumental Down With Disease Jam (a bit of footage was used for the band's first video).

They used an aquarium stage set-up for all four shows for the end-of-the-year run, hence the inclusion of the pop-ups that come with the release.

New Year's Eve 1993 Live At Worcester Centrum Box Set is available for pre-order via the band's Dry Goods, the only place so far for those who want the 3CD version. Release date: February 17.
