Yea basically this. Phish can be tough to get into because you need to poke around to find an entry point and it's usually different for everyone.
If you hear a song on an album you like you can check phish.net/song/ for recommended versions of that song. Then just listen to the whole show you pick.
Just to prove everyone is so different when it comes to Phish:
In terms of studio albums, I think Story of the Ghost is their best achievement, followed by Fuego. Everyone always picks Lawn Boy or Junta, but really all the songs on those albums came into their own on stage, not in the studio. Ghost and Fuego are both fully realized records, IMO.
But live is still the best. I always recommend the official MSG 95 release as the best way to start Phish. I think it captures the live experience better than any other release.
Nice! I was going to add that Story of the Ghost is my favorite studio album but I thought there was enough information in there.
And I think Fuego is a really good album. I listened to it a bunch after it came out and have enjoyed it thoroughly.
Billy Breathes is another one high on my list of recommendations for people to listen to because it's so different from other studio output.
I guess there's just a lot of stuff to sift through when learning about a band that's been playing together for 30 years.
