Plot.

On July 22, 1997, Phish performed the second show of their US summer tour at Walnut Creek Amphitheatre in Raleigh, NC. During the show, a thunderstorm of biblical proportions passed by, letting loose a torrential downpour with thunder and lightning that accentuated the electricity of the event. This DVD documents the collision between a force as imaginative and powerful as Phish and the supreme forces of Creation, and it contains the complete concert, uncut.

Wiki.

Walnut Creek is a concert DVD released on August 8, 2008, by the rock band Phish. It was performed on July 22, 1997, at Walnut Creek Amphitheatre in Raleigh, North Carolina during a stormy night, the second show of their 1997 U.S. summer tour.

During the first set, lightning struck the stage three different times, hitting the stage during the band's rendition of "Taste," forcing the group to cut the set short and leave the stage. After a one-hour intermission (purposely extended in order to let the storm pass), the group returned to the stage for an additional 90 minutes of music.

The DVD footage is taken from the venue jumbo screen video feed displayed in concert during the show.

This concert is also available as a download in FLAC and MP3 formats at LivePhish.com. As a bonus, the download includes You Enjoy Myself recorded at Walnut Creek on June 16, 1995, with guest Boyd Tinsley of the Dave Matthews Band on violin.
