Live Phish Vol. 20 was recorded live at the Providence Civic Center in Providence, Rhode Island, on December 29, 1994.

This concert is best known for its experimental, 35-minute version of "David Bowie," widely considered one of the greatest Phish jams of all time. The band also strips down to acoustic instruments (banjo, acoustic guitar, stand-up bass, washboard) for the bluegrass standard "My Long Journey Home."

The album marked the first time that the song "I Didn't Know" had been issued on an officially released Phish recording.

This show was the second show in a four night stand that would see Phish sell out Madison Square Garden the next night and the Boston Garden two days later on New Year's Eve.
