Live Phish Vol. 15 was recorded live at The Omni in Atlanta, Georgia, on Halloween night, 1996.

This show marks the third in a series of Halloween shows in which Phish dressed up in a "musical costume" by performing an album from another artist in its entirety. The band, along with a horn section and Santana percussionist Karl Perazzo, unveiled a complete performance of Talking Heads' Remain in Light sandwiched in between two sets of Phish's own music. Unlike previous Halloween shows where they kept their album choice a secret until the moment the set began, they revealed the choice of Remain in Light in a Playbill distributed to fans upon arriving at the venue.

The performance is noted by the band as their favorite Halloween show. The band has subsequently included "Crosseyed and Painless" in their live show song rotation.
