Live Phish 10.31.90 is an archival live album release by the American rock band Phish. The show was originally webcast on October 10, 1999. It was also released in MP3 format in 1999 through eMusic, making it the first archival recording released officially online. The show was later made available when Phish launched its LivePhish website and is currently available exclusively through that site.[1] This archival release is also believed to have been the first ever commercial download release of a full, live concert by any band.[2]

This was the first Phish Halloween show to take place outside Vermont, and although this is a Halloween show, it does not feature Phish donning a "musical costume", as they later would do in 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2021. The show was part of a five-day tour through Colorado, a state where the band toured often in the early years.[3] It was an all-ages show on the campus of Colorado College. The tickets for the show indicated “Costume Required”. Keyboardist Page McConnell's costume consisted of pumpkin-shaped glasses and an orange shirt. Before the second set, there was a Halloween costume contest on stage during which finalists had to come onstage to jump on mini-trampolines.[4] The song "You Enjoy Myself" contained a musical quotation of the Munsters theme from Mike Gordon, and the end contained a vocal jam based on "A Night in Tunisia".[5] "Tweezer" contained "Heartbreaker" teases from the band.
