This Week in Live Music History: Phish Opens for Big Star’s Alex Chilton in Chicago, 1990
Photo: Steve Eichner/WireImage — Jon Fishman performs with Phish at Wetlands Preserve in New York City, 1990. By the end of the ‘80s, Phish was playing all over New England and just beginning to venture into other parts of the country, sometimes opening for other artists in cities where the budding jam band wasn’t yet a major draw. In March 1990, Phish visited Chicago for the first time, playing the Lounge Ax, a 300-capacity club in Lincoln Park. Eight months later the band returned, this time opening for a somewhat surprising headliner: Alex Chilton, best known as the leader of the acclaimed ‘70s power pop band Big Star.

Chicago Bakeries Knew Apple Pie Needed More Pieces
Chicago-style apple slices take everything comforting about apple pie and reshape it into soft, bakery-sized bars made for sharing. Tender apples flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg sit between pastry layers, creating fruit-filled squares with more convenient portions than a traditional round pie. Every piece offers soft apple filling, warm spice, and enough pastry to keep the dessert sturdy in one hand. The rectangular format also means more people receive those prized edge pieces where the crust becomes especially golden. It is a nostalgic Midwest bakery treat that feels familiar even to anyone who never stood before a Chicago display case. Simple ingredients and an old-fashioned presentation give these bars the character of something a neighborhood bakery might have been selling for generations.
