In June 2006, Phish was on hiatus from live performances, having disbanded in 2004. During this period, the band's guitarist and vocalist, Trey Anastasio, was involved in various side projects, one of which was the supergroup Oysterhead. Formed in 2000, Oysterhead consists of Anastasio, Les Claypool from Primus, and Stewart Copeland of The Police. Their performance at the Bonnaroo Festival in 2006 marked one of their rare live appearances. Just prior to the Bonnaroo show, Phish had released their album "Round Room" in 2002, and the band began making plans for a reunion soon after this performance. The Bonnaroo set featured a mix of eclectic songs, showcasing the unique blend of styles from the members' diverse backgrounds, and contributed to the anticipation of Phish's eventual return to the stage in 2009.
