| Phish, one of the most successful touring bands of all time, are legendary for their spectacular and vastly populated weekend festivals. In 2009, they return to the road with members Trey Anastasio (guitar), Jon Fishman (drums), Mike Gordon (bass) and Page McConnell (keyboards) for the first time in four years. In celebration, Rhino's 7-DVD boxed set The Clifford Ball presents their entire performance at the landmark 1996 concert event that was the first of seven two-day festivals they staged. The seven disc box from Rhino/JEMP contains over nine hours of footage filmed and recorded live on August 16 and 17, 1996. It presents all three music sets and encores the band played on each night, plus bonus extras including: a sound check from August 15; the band's late-night "Flatbed Jam," performed on the back of a truck; an interview with longtime Phish artist Jim Pollock; interviews with band members and other rarities. The Clifford Ball is a regionless DVD set including options for stereo and 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound Audio, remixed and mastered from the band's multi-track tapes.
