St. Louis '93 is a six-disc live album by the rock band Phish. It includes two complete concerts, recorded on April 14, 1993 and August 16, 1993. [2] [3]

Contents

Phish's 1993 tour in support of their fourth studio album, Rift , saw the band play colleges and theaters. St. Louis '93 includes the band's first stop at the American Theater that year, April 14, dubbed the "Roger Proposal" show when Trey Anastasio's friend Roger Holloway opened Set II by proposing to his girlfriend onstage. [4]

Phish returned to the American on August 16. Jams connected many of the songs. The show finished with a quartet of covers, including Duke Ellington's "Take the "A" Train", Led Zeppelin's "Good Times Bad Times", "Amazing Grace", and Felice and Boudleaux Bryant's country standard "Rocky Top". [5]
