AMG Review of Live One

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

Phish's strength has always been its live shows, and A Live One shows why. Given the opportunity, the band takes its songs in every direction, winding through several different sounds within the course of a song. A Live One also features seven previously unreleased songs, making it worthwhile listening for even casual fans. Then again, most fans of Phish will want to hear everything the group has ever played.
