New Year's Eve 1995 Live At Madison Square Garden
Phish
New Year's Eve 1995 – Live at Madison Square Garden is an official live album from Phish documenting the band's celebrated December 31, 1995 performance at Madison Square Garden in New York City — a three-set, 27-track show spanning over three and a half hours that Rolling Stone named one of the "Greatest Concerts of the '90s." Originally released on December 20, 2005 to mark the show's tenth anniversary, the album was mixed from the original multitracks by Elliot Scheiner. The 2026 reissue — a new pressing of the 6-LP box set originally created for Record Store Day 2015 — presents the complete show across twelve sides of 180-gram vinyl, mastered for vinyl from 24-bit flat masters by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, and packaged with photographs from the show and an essay by Parke Putterbaugh. The show captures Phish at the peak of their early career confidence, operating during what many fans consider their richest creative period — their touring schedule was relentless, their improvisational language had reached a new level of sophistication, and their capacity to hold an arena crowd across multiple sets was unmatched in the rock world of the era.
The three-set structure gives the album a genuinely epic shape. The first two sets move through a combination of composed pieces and extended improvisational vehicles — "Runaway Jim," "Stash," "Tweezer," and "You Enjoy Myself" among them — while the third set, beginning just before midnight, builds toward the band's signature New Year's Eve countdown and the theatrical spectacle that Phish made their annual tradition at MSG. The show also includes a first performance of "Sanity" since June 1994, adding a rarity to the occasion's already heightened energy. The setlist draws on the full breadth of the band's catalog at that stage of their career, balancing fan favorites with deep cuts and exploratory improvisation in a way that makes the recording as compelling in its entirety as any individual highlight moment — a complete document of what Phish could do when everything was firing at once.
