Phish - The Rise & Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars (2016)

After a year off from their annual costume gig, Phish returned to the MGM Grand Arena in 2016, using their Halloween set to pay tribute to the legendary David Bowie, who had died in January of that year. Phish’s choice to cover Bowie for Halloween was not necessarily surprising - the band had never been shy about proclaiming his influence on their music, and 2016 saw the band play a number of tributes to their hero in the wake of his death. However, their choice to cover his iconic album 'The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars' was still extremely meaningful, for both the band and fans alike. During the performance, Phish truly did justice to one of the most-wished-for musical costumes over the years. The band offered up stellar renditions of some of Bowie’s most beloved songs from his glam era, including 'Suffragette City', 'Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide', 'Moonage Daydream', 'Ziggy Stardust', and 'Starman'. The band’s sound was supplemented by backup vocalists Jennifer Hartswick, Jo Lampert and Celisse Henderson as well as a string section composed of Sylvia D’Avanzo, Alisa Horn, Hiroko Taguchi, Todd Low, Antoine Silverman and Alissa Smith. At the end of the night, fans agreed that it was a perfect way for one legendary act to honor another.
