One Great Elvis Impersonator and Four Crappy Ones

Stop reading and skip forward about 1/3 of the way into the video, past the two ladies performing I Want to be a Cowboy's Sweetheart (even if it was the first Country &Western song by a female artist to sell over one million copies).

You'll know you're in the right place if Trey is doing a little narration about Jimmy and Poster Nutbag heading to Vegas and having a run-in with some local Elvii.

At that moment, midway through an extended Harpua encore, four Elvis impersonators come on stage much to the delight of the Halloween crowd at the Aladdin.

The band starts up Suspicious Minds, and pretty much all hell breaks loose. The impersonators channel the King — dancing, gyrating, and generally taking their skills to the next level. Meanwhile, Trey rocks the drum kit and Mike grooves in some absurd sequin pants.

After much anticipation Fishman is welcomed to the stage, donning his light-up Elvis cape, to join the impersonators for a rousing high-energy finale.

This one's gotta be in the top 10 legendary Phish moments, and Suspicious Minds was rightfully shelved from there after.

And for better sound quality and much more music, a soundboard of the show is available from LivePhish.
