I think they do Exile or Purple Rain. Final answer.
Exile, While a great work, wouldn't be anything special or that different IMO....
I disagree. I think it'd be fun. Loaded with singalongs. I don't think they do either of the prog albums. Kid A would be too tough to pull off live and vocally. Hunky Dory is too down-tempo and piano-driven; if they were going to do Bowie, they would have done Ziggy. I'm not sure if Trey wants to take on Hendrix (calm down, guys, I'm not saying he can't, just that he probably won't), but Electric Ladyland is a possibility. That leaves Purple Rain and Exile. :popcorn:
:lmao: at the preemptive "calm down, guys"

Did I hear a rumor that horns have been booked?
Rumor a few weeks back that Giant Country Horns had been rehearsing with the band.Exile looking more and more likely, unless it's an album that's not listed (possible IMO).
To me this is the only scenario left. I cannot imagine them covering the albums that are left, extremely weak in my opinion. Exile would be too cheap and easy. Not saying it is not a good album just not a mind blower on Halloween. I think the unidentified album will be the one "killing" the others. It will all come together tomorrow night, phish is too smart and whimsical to just play exile on Halloween. Rumor yesterday was Alice Cooper, which would be unique and fit the motif but still cannot see them pulling the trigger on that. I have a feeling we are going to have our minds blown. Thank goodness for Sirius.

setlist at phish.net says trey hinted at a Bowie album tonight. Hunky Dory anyone?

Friday, 10/30/2009 Empire Polo Club, Indio, CA

Set 1: Party Time, Chalk Dust Torture, The Moma Dance, NICU, Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan, Stash, I Didn't Know, Poor Heart, Cavern, Beauty of a Broken Heart, Ocelot, Time Turns Elastic

Set 2: Punch You In the Eye > Down with Disease -> Prince Caspian > Wolfman's Brother > Piper > Joy, David Bowie, Harry Hood > Golgi Apparatus

Encore: Character Zero

Notes: This show is part of the three-show Festival 8. During "I Didnt Know", Trey announced that Henrietta would, for the first time in human history, suck and blow at the same time, in the shape of a figure 8. During Bowie, Trey said, "Here's a hint for the Halloween album."

Red herring.
 
Phish's Costume is EXILE; NYE is in MiamiFor tonight's second set, the band will perform the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street. Playbills are already being distributed on site. The Phish.net song database is being populated with the new songs (Loving Cup and Sweet Virginia have been played previously), and complete song histories will be posted within the next week or so. The same Playbill also confirms that New Year's Eve will be in Miami, FL, as suspected by many since early June.
 
I am sure they are going to kill it and I know Exile is a good album, but I wish they did something more complicated and dark for Halloween. I will listen regardless, still wish it would have been let it bleed

 
I'm going to be carting my boy around town tonight. If y'all listen tonight, update the thread with opinions and such when you get a chance. Links to downloads at some point wouldn't be bad, either. Share in the groove, my friends.

 
Jealous jealous jealous of everyone in Indio, but at least we get Widespread Panic spookiness here in Austin tonight, hopefully they'll bust out "Sweet Leaf" or another Sabbath tune.

Listening at home:Sample (good trey jam, not too tentative) ->Divided Sky
 
What else can be said about the Exile cover, then "amazing" They are better than ever, that was a band playing at their peak. All songs were tight, some were done better than the Stones.

Loved the Casino Boogie, torn and frayed, loving cup, ventilator blues. Just wow.

 
i skipped the acoustic set at noon on Sunday, but of the other 7 sets of the weekend, sets 3 on Sat and Sunday are the ones to get. Fluffhead, Ghost, YEM, and Suzy in particular were great Sat nite. And the Tweezer > Maze to open Set 3 on Sunday was like being caught inside on an overhead day - right when you come up for air they're another 8 footer crashing on your dome.

what a weekend. phish is hitting on all cylinders right now. those of you with winter tour tix are in for a treat. :thumbup:

Holy Crap!!! What a friggin' weekend. I have way too many good stories, I will post some soon. Basically, no you stupid wookie I don't want any molly, where the #### are the doses?? Are you kidding me? Phish is going to start to the last set during the top of the 9th inning tied 4-4 with two outs, and then open with Tweezer?? Booooooooo. Luckily, the Yankees scored right about then, but still. Exile, no way. I've heard Loving Cup like a thousand times. Oh wait, never like that!!! Best Loving Cup eva, and the crowd was on it, totally awesome. Not to mention Reba, Fluffhead (even though Trey was totally lost for about 30 seconds missing a whole section of the song, lol. Did I mention the wookies?

Do it again in a heartbeat. More stories, such as why Tommy couldn't find me and why I didn't make any posts, etc., etc.

 
Last night's show was a ripper. 1st set a little spotty but when they were on they were on fire. Thought it was the best Melt of '09 but that's probably not saying much. Missed the Walk Away cover walking 10 sections just to get a Brooklyn Lager, that was my worst screw up of the night. Alaska and Party Time are both fun songs.

Second set was where it got crazy. Very jammy spacey Seven Below into Ghost, had the crowd in a trance. About 40 minutes on the first two songs of the second set alone. Wolfman's was very funky, very upbeat and that led into Julius which was just awesome. Trey was on fire for Julius, I would dl the show for that alone. They seem to be playing a lot of YEMs this year, too many but the Encore was great, it was top notch.

Good scene in Albany, sort of an underrated place, would definately go back and see more shows there.
