Rhino Records has announced the March 3 release of a 7-DVD set that captures Phish’s three-night residency at Virginia’s Hampton Coliseum in 1996. According to a press release, “it was the largest concert event of 1996 in North America and set the tone for festivals including Bonnaroo and Coachella." Or as Billboard put it, “Bonnaroo is a direct descendant of Phish’s one-band festival extravaganzas like Clifford Ball... Bonnaroo launched with—and maintains—the same self-contained, immersive experience as the Phish events, as well as its laissez-faire treatment of fans and spirit of community."

Three complete sets per day and more than 9 hours of bonus live footage is included in the Hampton package, which will be available at a retail price of $99.99.
