Festival 8: Phish Covers Exile On Main Street [Hidden Track]
Admittedly, I am not the biggest fan of The Rolling Stones. Certainly don’t hate them, but they’re not at the top of any lists for me. None of that matter when it became clear just a few tunes into set two, Phish’s full performance of Exile On Main Street, that this would be the most tightly performed Phish set in recent history.
Festival 8: Phish to Cover Exile on Main Street [Jambands]
Phish will cover the Rolling Stones’ famed 1972 release Exile On Main Street this evening as party of its Halloween tradition of covering another artist’s album in its entirety. The band broke the news by handing out a series of “Phishbill” programs to fans as they entered the venue area of the band’s Festival 8 site Saturday afternoon. Sharon Jones, the lead singer of the Dap-Kings, will sing backup with the group. In addition, Dave Guy (trumpet), David Smith (trombone), Tony Jarvis (sax guitar) and Saundra Williams (vocals) will support the group during its set.

Contest: Win Tix to Phish’s Halloween Set [LA MetBlog]
Leave anything you want in the comments: links to pictures or blogs, your own stories (in under 150 words, please), anything–anything that might possibly convince me to relent and give you these tickets. Because Phish may be groovy and all love-your-neighbor-dude, but today you must beat that neighbor to a pulp in order to secure these golden tickets for yourself…you hippy.
Festival 8: What Album Will Phish Play on Halloween? [MTV News]
Of the remaining albums, it’s probably reasonable to eliminate all of the metal (which means Metallica’s Master of Puppets and Black Sabbath’s Paranoid can take a walk) and hip-hop (say goodbye to the Beastie Boys’ Hello Nasty). Since the newest album the group has ever covered was Talking Heads’ Remain in Light, it seems unlikely they’d roll out anything too new (like Radiohead’s Kid A, Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot or MGMT’s Oracular Spectacular).
Any of the remaining albums could probably get the nod. The Newsroom’s vote? Go ahead and jam on Purple Rain, boys. You’ve earned it.
Songs: Save The Date Jam - 10/31/98 Wolfman’s [Dog Gone Blog]
The jam, which is from the Wolfman’s on Halloween ‘98, is the perfect example of the musical depths that Phish can take us to. Given the right setting, and the proper amount of energy, the band can often reach musical plateaus that seem other-worldly. This jam is a perfect example. Coming from the most unlikely of songs, the band slowly delves into pure ambiance. At 21:20 you will hear the exact clip played on Phish’s website.

Halloween: Let’s Pretend It’s 8PM, What Will Phish Play? [Hidden Track]
The scenario is this: It’s October 31st at 8pm in wherever Phish will play their Save The Date festival. Phish has not announced what musical costume they are performing and they have not handed out playbills this year. Those banks of lights go down and it’s time for THE set. What’s it going to be?
