Phish hosted the Clifford Ball on a decommissioned air force base in Plattsburgh NY on August 16th and 17th of 1996. The shows were strong & the entire weekend was a vibrant music marathon to close out the band's solid summer tour.
Phish recently announced the completion of a 7-disc DVD box set which documents the festival in it's entirety including footage of the epic late-night "flatbed jam".
