if trey and the boys can do the trick and do the rest of the album half as good as they've been doing lovin' cup all these years, this will be quite the treat

Now if only the Stones would play the whole album in it's entirety I could die happy. Phish seems like an odd choice for this mission.

why? it's been their custom to do full albums on halloween...and they rock about as well as anyone as i've seen the last 20 years...

Everyone can listen for free. Sirius is offering 7 days of free listening.


Sirius free 7 day

The show is on Channel 17

The show started early...Exile will be performed in the 2nd set as stated in the first post.

They haven't played it yet have they? I just signed up for the 7 free days...

Not yet, they finished the first set, so it should be coming on anywhere from 15-30 minutes from now? Maybe a bit longer? Depends on what's happening backstage.

Listening now and there seems to be a lot of speculation as to whether or not they'll actually play Exile or something else...

The DJ is a douche bag...They are playing Exile.

Haha, he really didn't know what he was talking about when he was talking about Exile. Saying that it was a turn to a darker side? Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers were much darker than Exile.

My wife also commented on that as he was babbling.

I wouldn't mind if the guy who said they were gonna do Let it Bleed was right.

I wouldn't mind if the guy who said they were gonna do Let it Bleed was right but if it's not the Stones I'm done listening.

I was thinking it might be an Altamont set after the long delay....It's EXILE they are on!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!


RIP THIS JOINT!

Casino Boogie's on now. Pretty good but sounds a little Beatleish to me. It's just not quite raunchy enough for me.

Overall...Outstanding job on Exile last night.
They did 'em proud for sure.

Phish's performance last night was absolutely epic and a terrific display of musical talent and classy showmanship

Phish Cover the Rolling Stones’ “Exile on Main Street” at Festival 8

11/1/09, 4:29 am EST

Combining two of their most beloved traditions for the first time — the multi-day festival and the Halloween album “costume” — Phish got their rocks off at their Festival 8 in Indio, California, during the second of a three-day set with a crushing start-to-finish version of the Rolling Stones‘ classic Exile On Main Street. Just a day earlier, Stones frontman Mick Jagger took the stage himself 3,000 miles away, joining U2 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert in New York.

Under pristine conditions at the Empire Polo Field and in front of a devoted Phish crowd of 40,000 fans, the Vermont foursome rollicked in Exile’s swamp blues and roadhouse country, extending several songs with their own jams, highlighted by a spacey interlude between “Ventilator Blues” into the gospel-esque “I Just Want to See His Face.” Special guests Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings added their own flourishes (horns to “Sweet Black Angel”), and each band member took lead vocal turns. Incredibly, four of the double album’s songs made their big-stage live debut —”Soul Survivor,” a scorching “Casino Boogie,” “Turd On the Run” and the flickering ballad “Let It Loose” — having never been performed by the Stones themselves. The set clocked in at nearly a 100 minutes, 33 more than the actual album.

It was perhaps the safest, most durable album choice for the band to tackle — they’ve played the bar-room sing-along “Loving Cup” in their own sets for years — narrowing it down from a list of 99 in September. On their Website the band vowed to play “the last album alive” where albums that didn’t make the cut “killed off” by an ax or arrow.

Besides Exile, the final contenders were Radiohead’s Kid A, Genesis’ epic Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, King Crimson’s Lark Tongues in Aspic, Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix, Prince’s Purple Rain, Hunky Dory by David Bowie and a nod to the kids, MGMT’s Oracular Spectacular.

But like previous Halloweens, where they’ve covered works by the Beatles and the Who, Phish stuck with a formative favorite — lead guitarist Trey Anastasio said he first heard the album in a friend’s dorm in the late ’70s.

For the night’s finale, the band performed a monster closing set that included faves “Fluffhead,” “Ghost” and “YEM” capped off a with sinister vocal jam augmented by giant flamethrowers shooting off in the concert field. Sharon Jones and Co. returned for some more vocal fireworks on a blistering encore of “Suzy Greenberg.” A hot night in the desert all around.

That really does sound good, and I'm generally not a big Phish fan.

just downloaded the show - kudos for doing the whole album, overall a very good effort with plenty of bum notes. A couple of @#$%& up intros and sometimes they don't really get into the groove - but still enjoyable
