Phish Festival 8 Halloween Cover Album Teaser

@zzyzx (after the freeway exit!?sweet)

“Now since every last one of the campground albums doesn’t really have a hit or has a song Phish have played (except for Electric Ladyland)

I am understanding you to say all the camp albums do not contain a hit song and have a tune Phish has covered?
There are several camp albums with Hits(bowie,prince,stones) and I was not aware they ever covered a Genisis,Crimson or radiohead song(but could be wrong)

I think I just misunderstood, but want to ‘get’ your theory.

Camping is always a matter of the person parking your vehicle. If they understand that there needs to be room between vehicles, it all works out. If they sandwich everyone in, you will be sleeping in your car.

On this note - They have NEVER allowed cars into the campground at this location before, so hopefully it will be phish staffers who handle the parking!

Just be good neighbors and it will all work out, share the space, share the groove, and be good phamily.

Last note - I noticed a LOT of kids (As in the under 18 set) on tour this summer, so party hard - but please watch out for the little ones.

———————————————-
off topic but is anyone else concerned with the campsites only being 10x30 ? I think my tent alone is almost 10x20!! Im hoping thats not including the spot were your car goes. Are they just assuming youll sleep in your car? Im sure it will all work but let me know if youve heard any more details.
——————————————————

god i hope its bigger…. where did you see this?  I have 2 shade tents that are 10x10 each and all of our normal tents, need room for tables and chairs etc, if your car is supposed to fit in that space too they are on crack.  Please say its not as tight as this…....

@iHeardtheOceanSing

Not sure if those numbers are correct since I haven’t seen the campground specs, but if you can’t get comfortable on 300sqft of land, then you brought too much stuff.  Lighten the load, buddy.

P.S.  A 10x20 tent isn’t a tent.  It’s a small home.

OK there’s a tiny bit of wishful thinking here but this just came to me. Tomorrow, say they eliminate CTA, Apostrophe, and Double Nickles - none of which I could see the band playing due to arrangements (CTA) or obscurity.

That leaves, you guessed it, 16 albums left. Now since every last one of the campground albums doesn’t really have a hit or has a song Phish have played (except for Electric Ladyland), maybe those are the runner ups. So Wednesday, they declare the finalists and runner ups, making the final 8:

Born to Run
Ziggy Stardust
Zeppelin I
Thriller
The Wall
Marquee Moon
Astral Weeks
The Yes Album

Tell me that wouldn’t be a great final 8 that would get people excited to see which one gets chosen. Maybe Zappa or CTA could be subbed in for Morrison or Television, but this is my post so it’s my rules.

@tim from GardenGrove
“of course they would bring in guests to help out. the giant country horns played a part on the remain in light cover.”

Thanks, I did not know that, definitely makes
~ Sharon Jones singing Chicago with Horns ~a possibility. Now that would be a party.

10x30 is huge!!  its better than at coachella, only a 10x10

off topic but is anyone else concerned with the campsites only being 10x30 ? I think my tent alone is almost 10x20!! Im hoping thats not including the spot were your car goes. Are they just assuming youll sleep in your car? Im sure it will all work but let me know if youve heard any more details.

Festival 8 Flash Phreeze, second song of halloweeen set!!!!!

@jphardy

Right! Stevie has been left off. Been kinda surprised by that all along.

Give me Songs in the Key of Life and I can die happy.

But I really don’t think it’s a 100th album.

@ jphardy if the 100th album is stevie, he’s got pretty good aim for a blind man.

please kill king crimson, chicago, television, and yes immediately

of course they would bring in guests to help out. the giant country horns played a part on the remain in th light cover.

If you’re reading this Phish, just to let you know there’s not a single record left on this list that I would be disappointed in hearing you play.  Every single one left would be freaking awesome.  Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan I can’t wait. I seriously can’t remember the last time I was this excited, this is going to be one long ass party 100 hour long epic party. With emphasis on “party”.

The one artist that’s truly been left off this list is stevie wonder. Not a single album on the list… so if there is a 100th album killer… i’m hoping it’s a stevie album… maybe innervisions or to go along with the last album left ALIVE…Songs in the Key of Life…

Zep 1

Zepp all the way….

But I’d also be happy with Hendrix, Minutemen, Floyd, Zappa, or Bowie…

I’m just super-relieved they axed U2….I would’ve been SOOO disappointed.

I didn’t know that the youtube links were active on the phish.com album gallery now. I’ve known that there have been links in the xml for a while now, I just didn’t realize they actually worked in the gallery. I accidentally clicked on The Minutemen and I got to see a video for “Jesus and Tequila”. Calexico does a great version of that song.

If you subtract the 7 albums that were on the map, heres whats left.

Bruce Springsteen | Born To Run
Chicago | The Chicago Transit Authority
David Bowie | Ziggy Stardust
Frank Zappa | Apostrophe
Led Zeppelin | Zeppelin I
MGMT | Oracular Spectacular
Michael Jackson | Thriller
Minutemen | Double Nickels On The Dime
Pink Floyd | The Wall
Television | Marquee Moon
Van Morrison | Astral Weeks
Yes | The Yes Album

theres also the possibility that the album IS one of the campground albums, so i dont have a clue anymore.

Granted my computer at work can’t handle the Phish.com album gallery, I think the only truly dead album (if you go by Zombieland rules) is Pork Tornado.  More than a double pump for sure.

@Boris

Dirty Little Girl is totally rockin!?
Phish could have done Elton serious justice, but that’s moot now.
Exile is the front runner for sure now.  I’m so so about this as I think its not very dynamic, but I do think Phish could make it so.

Cosmic Debris is actually on Apostrophe but good call on Overnight Sensation.  The solos on 50-50 are the most Phish-like sounds in Zappa’s entire catalouge.  I Am The Slime would be sick.  I also remember seeing Overnight Sensation as a 2for1 CD with Apostrophe on the same disc.  They are both such short albums I wonder if they would consider playing both.

I cant wait to find out the truth about the Sharon Jones rumor. She can wail, check out their album, naturally.  They even make Woody Guthrie sound funky.  Im suprised to see there has been no play on the ladyland/landlady, but the ladies will have to do.  go ziggy!

T. Rex gets nailed.  Shoot, woulda been fun.

Why not Kid A? If they can perform Remain In Light, they can perform this.

Whats up with the 100th album theory??
Is it that they are going to reveal one more album?
If that is the situation,then I will make a rock solid call on an album that I was very surprised was not on this list.
OVERNITE SENSATION FRANK ZAPPA
Come on…Zappa is one of the boys biggest influence.
Moving to Montana
Cosmic Debris
Cam Brillo
Zombie Woof
Dinah-Moe

I would also like to ad why I dont think the festival teaser map bringing California back does not = bringing dead album back. California was hoisted off by air-balloons while the other states had more permanent destruction.  These albums all die the same way so Im not expecting a zombie album but anything could happen.

@Mr.Palmer195
I agree, I was saying the idea of Off The Wall being off the wall is a corny idea, not that the album is corny. I totally respect MJs music and have an open mind about hearing anything. The Halloween set is such a small part of the whole weekend.. I just think they have a better sense of humor than the Off the Wall gag would entail.

@Todd Levy

I’d like to say, before I forget…  THANKS FOR RUNNING THIS THREAD!!!  So much fun. Great way to pass the days until the fest.

@Everyone Else Here

It’s been a joy reading all of your posts.  The imaginative theories that some of y’all have come up with over the past few weeks have been gripping good reads.  Most of them are patently bogus and way far-fetched, but still fun to read.  Better than the latest Dan Brown novel.  And, really, I don’t mean that as an insult.  Heck…I’ve been calling for Maiden, Nugent and Blue Öyster Cult and they’re not even on the list.  Just havin’ some fun shootin’ the shit with some good people who like good music.

Have a blast at 8 everybody!

T.Rex is extinct.  what a bunch of garbage

T Rex Gone…. one less i have to bone up on

And we’ve made it into the teens…..Adios, T. Rex!  19 to go.

While I don’t see it happening, them covering the Yes Album would be fucking awesome.

T.Rex is extinct.  No surprise here, I haven’t seen any post in favor of it…

Today was supposed a day without fatalities… if you like patterns ;-)

Go Lamb!  Seriously, give it a listen… Revitalize it (check IT out)!

T-Rex is extinct.

and the there were 19.  The sharon jones thing (and I hope it’s true) points me to exile or thriller out of the albums on the list. But I think if the 100th album theory turns out to be true it would be unreal if Let it bleed turned out to be that album…they would kill it. 4d 9h 22m 8s

“T.Rey” is gone- it is a slaughter this morning!

pretty glad goodbye yellow brick road bit the dust

dirty little girl sounds just like benny and the jets

T Rex OUT!!!

if they play the lamb
whos gonna be the slipperman?
tom marshall?

counting out time~

And now Electric Warrior has gone the way of the dinosaur…

Someone banged a gong and T.REy is gone.

whoa its gonna be the lamb!

hairless heart is gonna be awesome!

pages piano on the cage!!
better get some mescale

wow, these are diein’ quick today. T.Rex, just saw a documentry on TV Sat. night, got my hopes up, but didnt mean a thing I guess.

Ok to all you 1.0’s out there giving he ll to 3.0.  I am a 1.0 and I remember feeling like an outcast because I didnt have dreads and Patch work.  Guess what 16 years later I still dont have dreads so i say let the new kids enjoy everything we got to enjoy and who cares if the dont know every little thing about the band honest i have a feeling that the people that are giving 3.0 kids he ll are kids that only listen to PHISH get a clue and dont be so negative.  To all those kids saying they will walk out if they play MGMT well guess what, people said the same about the talking heads when it was rumored and that is the sickest halloween set EVER. to everyone just be happy that our fav band is back in th best way and be happy just be F N happy its a phish show not the lottery.  I am happy with anything and everything I guess it is just a kye thing

I’d be happy with anything on the wall, except Bruce.  Hoping for Jimi though
Didn’t mean to take up all your sweet time
Give it right back one of these days
daylight savings later that night,  just saying

thanks Todd

With Sticky and GYBR now with the axe, unfortunately the leaked final 8 is looking pretty definite.  I am still pulling really hard for one of them to get killed to throw us all for a loop again, but its not looking great.

With that said I am still pulling for Hunky Dory.  Oh! You Pretty Things should be in Phish rotation anyway.  Plus as far as the interview with Trey goes, I feel like they were working on Ziggy, Trey calls Page, and they switch it over to the other Bowie album, Hunky.  It would be fantastic.

Obviously, Exile and Ladyland are also up there.

And another problem with them playing MGMT that I havent heard on this forum but my brother told me, is that I think it will be really bad for that band.  I agree it would be a tragedy that they play it, although I enjoy the album, but think about this: Phish will play it sooo much better than those 2 geeks ever could.  Hey MGMT, you know your up and coming album?  Yeah, watch us bring it to a place you can NEVER reach.  Something to think about.

Anyway, thanks for the thread, its been a blast, couldnt be more excited for the festival.  I hope to run into fellow posters there, until then!

I haven’t taken Purple Rain seriously in this process at all - they used to play that song every freaking night for a while and it was typical terrible Fishman butchery. The comic relief portion of the show. I guess it was Summer ‘94. They were doing a lot of a capella Freebird too. We got kind of burnt on the Purple Rain joke but the local crowd always seemed to get a kick out of it.

I guess Purple Rain might be OK..maybe…

But please no Kid A, Genesis or KC. I just tried to choke down Kid A again and I have no idea what some of you see in this record.

t rex gone too.  3 days left. let the mass murdering begin

I’m devastated by the axing of London Calling.
If it ends of being King Crimson, I am going to find Trey and piss in his ear to see how he likes it.
Just kidding.
But I seriously do not want to hear KC.

There will be 8 albums left when the campgrounds open, the 7 that are on the map from the list of 99 and the 100th ‘Killer’ album. They will kill those 7 throughout the week and reveal the 100th album on Sat. I have to go with ‘Let it Bleed’ as the 100th album.

Elton John is gone, goodbye.  The “fake” map still holds true

Note that by killing albums today (the 26th), they broke the “no murders every 8th day” rule.

Just an observation.  There ARE no rules!

@iHeardtheOceanSing

Trey said himself he would absolutley consider doing a Micheal Jackson album.  Off the Wall is not as corny as Thriller and actually has some great guitar and keyboard on it.  Not saying it would be my first choice but its defenitly think they could rock a few tracks this one.  Don’t Stop ‘til You Get Enough, Rock with You, and Burn This Disco Out, especially.  anyway whatever they play im pumped.  Best thing is to have an open mind about everything.

all in all its just another brick in the wall

The only horse I still have in the race is Ziggy Stardust…it seems since I posted my list everyone on it is getting killed pretty quick! Maybe I am the killer!

Seriously they are going to suprise us all and it will be great! I can’t wait for 8!!!! See everyone soon. Any solids on a meetup?

@Zegonite - “I wish I could be one of these 3.0 whipper-snappers myself”

Age is just a number man, I’m a 3.0 and I turned 47 in May, whipper-snapper indeed.  :)

See you all there!!!!

We can figure it out if we just keep posting here.  I know we are close.  We just need more speculation.  Obviously this will play out in a very logical and straight forward manner.  This is a serious matter, no funny business. 

BTW - Contracts ARE signed.

Read between the lines.

@Jeff:  “If he is the Boss, then I quit.”

Haha, funny!  I can appreciate the Boss for what he is but don’t want to hear that album on Saturday.  As in, THIS SATURDAY, wow…it’s finally here!

here’s why they wouldnt do the Minutemen:

i don’t think they would cover an album in which they humiliate the original artist by playing their songs better, tighter, and more interestingly than they did.

i really do believe that.  so forget the minutemen

Now that elton is gone—

Jimi, Bowie and Bolan got more of a chance—and that is what I prefer.

This sharon jones talk could be to sing the Flow and eddie parts on Electric Warrior. (eventhough The Slider would be a better pick)

Or how about Sharon Jones singing Chicago? I dunno is it really Phish covering the album if there’s a guest vocalist? Kinda like cheating so Im not convinced shes singing the Halloween album.

Goodbye, yellow brick road

holy shit. Elton lies bleeding in my hands. Oh well, woulda been sweet , a little slow in the middle though.

Yes I will be happy with whatever they play, and no they don’t owe me anything!

I will, however, express the unpopular view that I agree with a previous post that described Exile on Main Street as somewhat of a mediocre rock album.

It IS a good match for Phish as a group and it is well within the genre that we could expect them to excel at - but it is NOT the White Album, Loaded, The Who, or the Talking Heads material quality. The best tune on the album - loving cup - has been done VERY WELL by Phish, and they would do well to leave it at that.

The Lamb is musically beautiful and fun, but too predictable. We know they know it, I don’t think they will show it.

MGMT is too happening now - they are active up and coming band and I don’t think it would make sense.

Kid A - Rocking and weird - but very obscure.

Due to the nature of the festival, I think they are going to be more mainstream this time around, which is why I think Exile, MJ, or even Prince stand the best chance of survival. I don’t see them throwing something too obscure at us with 70,000 people who have no clue what is going on.

BUT WHO THE HELL KNOWS! That is one of the BEST things about the band - they ALWAYS keep us guessing.

Zero Disappointment with whatever it will be - good festival to all

@Mr.Palmer195
“you think they would bring in a singer to cover anyone else?”

Yes, YES.

No Stones if map was right, phew.
Off The Wall, really? I mean the boys can be corny sometimes but not that corny.

P.S.
I went back to my original handle, iHeardtheOceanSing, due to a joint class action law suite: Plantiffs Hoover & Electrolux et al. LLC. vs. Me

oww haha axe in the crotch for sticky fingers. I’ve been fearing this day for a while.

@j-rock
pretty funny.  careful when you joke like that, people might think you are serious.

So sad about Sticky Fingers. Can’t you hear me knockin’ would’ve been incredible. As for this Sharon Jones thing and this Let it Bleed thing, I’m assuming she would sing Merry Clayton’s part in Gimme Shelter and the Dap Kings would play horns and back up when needed? That’s the only thing that makes sense. I also like this “Off the Wall” thing, she would also have to be called in to sing these vocals. Eventhough there is zero chance they play MGMT, I don’t think the albumis bad, in fact, for a newer album it is quite good. Them playing it would throw everyone off but if you give it a listen, you can see how they could make it reallllly good, talk about dancing. Now that Sticky Fingers is gone though,let’s all pray they choose electric ladyland!!!! please!!

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road…No seriously…goodbye

FINAL ANSWER AGAIN, minutemen’s album “double nickels on the dime”

I just listened to as much as I could stomach of the Elton John album and I pray they don’t play this album. It’s just so lame. I will also be heading to the sports bar if they play the Bruce Springsteen Album. If he is the Boss then I quit!!! Pretty much anything else looks pretty good to me at this point.

As we get closer, I am firmly convinced the 100th “Killer” album is the costume.  It just seems to fit too well.  I just can’t see the boys doing something so far out of their element (GYBR, MGMT, Ziggy).

I’m betting on Houses of the Holy or Let it Bleed…personally I’d love to see Zeppelin, maybe thanks to Trey dedicating GTBT to “The Man in the Dragon Pants” at my first show.

On my way to work this morning, was listening to Buried Treasure (Tom Pett’s radio show on Sirius Deep Tracks) and Soul Survivor came on.  I thought that was cool b/c 1) it’s on Exile, 2) Sticky got knocked off today, and 3I’m a huge Stones junkie.  Definitely pulling for Exile!!

So staring at my fantasy Teams this morning I noticed something. Next weekend is week 8 of the NFL season. Just sayin.

Acoustic Super Bowl Shuffle Sunday! Bears!

Flying out wed. night, see all you wooks out there!!! BTW Please no KiD A…If you’re trying to have a dance party, I just don’t see how this album fits in….That being said, whatever they play I’ll be happy!!!

@ matt chicago

who is gonna sing it?  that is why they brought in Sharon Jones. you think they would bring in a singer to cover anyone else?

@Jb
  Ive heard that also.  Makes sense.

I must be honest.  I’m disappointed by the 7 campground albums and I pray that MGMT, as rumored, isn’t the eighth.  But after seeing Sticky and the Clash get axed recently I’m sure the map is legit.  My hope is that at the start of the fest it’s those 7 plus a few more alive (Elton especially) and the possible “100th album” to keep the mystery.  I regret reading that map.  Definitely spoiled it for me.  If it is those 7 only I’m pulling for Hunky Dory.

@andygump:

That’s exactly why you can count that out. They wouldn’t do the same trick twice. Or would they…

(Think Sicilian death scene in Princess’s Bride). 

The last thing we expect is for them to do the same trick twice, so that’s exactly what they’ll do!  I still like the 100th mystery record showing up but then that’s not the one they play and there’s some death fight between them

NOOOO!!! Sticky Fingers AND Back in Black!?!?!?  What a rough day…

hopefully they’re still fucking with us (which I’m sure they are) a la taking Cali off the map.  If not, here’s to Ziggy!

It’s been 5 years!!!(8 really)

Listening to Television… just feels too much like another “Loaded.” It is a fantastic album but i think where the band has gotten to ... its gonna be more of a crowd pleaser, Marquis Moon is too esoteric.  That is unless they plan on breaking out the Wall in Cabo.

I’m going to be happy (they want me to be happy) no matter what gets played… I’m personally ruling MM out.  Speaking of “the Wall” ... I think its not got the right “party time” tone either… I was watching it on VH1 last night and man it is Sooooooo dark, nihilistic, breakdown.  Musically still stunning after all these years but by no means a party.

Oh Jesus, here it comes.  I knew it was only a matter of time before the crybabies who didn’t get their album would start bringing up California coming back.  If AYE? or London Calling comes back, RAD, but if that’s the case what was the whole point of the gallery?

Lamb/Marquee Moon.

~o

@JB

Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings have not been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.  They’ve only been a band since ‘96, which means they couldn’t even qualify. 

Also, they are not a Chicago based band.  They are Brooklyn, through & through.

Just had to clear that up.

Wow, I go and get really busy at work and look what happens: all hell breaks loose on the Phish album-murder blog!

BTW, again, Todd, this is a great page.

@Mike from Rockville… I’m as shocked as you are about Sticky Fingers.

@PiNT… glad to see you turning around bout Kid A, and You’re right: they’re not going to play that… although my allegiance to Radiohead is going to cause me to do whatever I can to camp in that section.

@IHeardtheHooverSing… definitely up for a FOAM or a bowl hit.  Hit me up on my email (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)) and we can exchange numbers or we can meet up somewhere particular at a particular time.

Wow, Sticky Fingers, London Calling, Brian Eno… Eno was my dark horse pick.  I’m going to have to go with Ziggy or Marquee Moon, 50/50.  I can’t really see any reason to believe the leaked map is bunk as the borealis was on there before anyone leaked info on the borealis, as well as spots for Pollock art, and crane booms for lighting… the bloody mary bar, etc.  You’d need CAD knowledge to fake that map and most of the engineers I work with are a bit tapped in the humor/practical joke department, if you know what I mean… although they DO love all the prog, haha!

Either way, even if it is Off The Wall, this thing is heating up to be one of the best memories in the making and I’m glad you’re all gonna help make it so.  Anyone else up for meeting for a brew (or ecoutrement), feel free to email me as well.

@-phunguy,

They are covering the new Umphrey’s album.  Vampire Weekend ARE playing Sunday at the 8. CONFIRMED!! I just talked to Rog and Pete (Mike C is gone…)and they confirmed that “Trey loves the shit outta those guys and feels it an honor to share the same venue with such precocious artists.”

I find this kind of snarky… like it somehow validates one persons opinions more then another because of when they got into phish.

> The Phish fan thing is a reflection of the time in history in the bands existance.

> 1.0 - before the 2000 ‘hiatus’
> 2.0 - 2002 to 2004 (after ‘hiatus’, before ‘breakup’
> 3.0 - After reuniting in 2009

Cut it out =P - Stop the labeling -

“Rehumanize yourself!”

“I am not a number, I am a free man!”

and in this my opinion is most relevant because I’ve been going to shows for a long time ;-)

Forbin and anyone else who is interested -
if it is MGMT, meet at the bloody mary bar.

and i dont want to hear any criticisms or insults, people. we’re all entitled to our opinons, and our tomato-based alcoholic beverages.

I bet ziggy stardust and zappa are the next to go

I actually think it’s funny that phans feel compelled to tout their grandfatherly phan status. I’m a 1.0’er myself (barely, saw my first show in ‘99) and I’m 29 yrs old as of last May- too damn old for my liking!!! I wish I could be one of these 3.0 whipper-snappers myself- ah the excitement of scratching the surface of the Phish phenomenon for the first time at 21 (before you’ve lost any hair, or have had any of your highest ambitions crushed no less), sigh… Remember also, more young fans = more pretty young ladies running around too, fine by me. ;) Is it ok for a guy on the verge of his 30’s to appreciate the eye candy?

Anyway, Have a good time young’uns, you’re as welcome as any of us!!! (Though I may still end up hating you if they play MGMT.)

@JB from Waitsfield, VT

hey man dumb guess, off the wall???
hey man did you know this

1:the 8th biggest selling album of all time is
the backstreet boys millenium

2: the backstreet boys are playing a show on Sunday November 8th 2009 weirdly enough acdc is playing a show in texas on that same day what a mystery

3 there are 4 backstreet boys if they were cloned there would be 8! weird

4.i herd a rumor from two different sorces the backstreet
have a combined 8 legs all together

5.the backstreet boys 8th tour called theUnbreakable
Tour i bet this is what trey felt like before he quit useing drugs

so the facts are here they are gonna play millenium by the backstreet boys!!!!!!

this is how retarted some phish fans are sounding
lol

quit with the mj
what ever jackson album they play will sound like crap
whos gonna sing as mike?

Dont forget that, they sucked out california in the middle of the annoucing of the festival.  so dont rule out ones that they killed off.  just my 2 cents

After all these 99 albums…After pouring thru endless rumors and albums for weeks now, I now believe fo sheez that the album is:
Off the Wall by Michael Jackson…No doubt.
1 = Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings have been confirmed by 2 sepatate sources as playing at 8 (btw they were inducted into R & R hall of fame in 2008)
2 = Rumors have had Hartswick practicing with Trey in Chicago….where the Dap Kings hang out and make music;
3 = Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings open their first tour in a while at Higher Ground on Nov. 20;
4 = Trey’s interview with Atlanta radio show a while back where he mentions that they chose album, started to learn it, and then called Page and they agrred to bag it (ie Thriller)
5 = Radio interview question asked Trey if Thriller is still on the radar…Answer: “...Sure it’s on the radar..I mean “Off the Wall” is on the radar..”
6 = Off the wall is the 100th album which will remain alive at the end bc…duh…it was off the wall…
They’re assholes….Me wants Ziggy.
You heard it here first…Or on Phantasy tour///

sticky fingers just axed
21 to go phriends

@PiNT
”Exile really isn’t in the same league as, say, The White Album”

“And Oracular Spectacular is?”

Oh definitely not - and Exile is a better record than OS. Don’t get me wrong - if I were on a desert island I’d take Exile, of the two. But I’ve heard it a zillion times, and it seems a bit anticlimactic.

I still can’t believe they would actually play MGMT.

Clearly I don’t know a damn thing about what they want to play. That much has been proven in this endeavor.

They should play Genesis.

Cheers!

Electric Ladyland!
My dream would be the ultimate guitar virtuoso, Jimi Hendrix. Decades ahead of his time in guitar playing and his song writing is timelss.

The guitar would be great for Trey. Mitch Michell on drums, yeah Fishman would love playin that shit. Page could have a good time with Steve Windwood’s heavy organ. Mike might get bored.But FUCK! This is a true classic rock album.

They could do a good twist on the songs and all have a great jammablity. I’m hoping for the best!

There will be no side stage/opening act/ other bands.(period)
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, if true, will be on stage with Phish for the Costume.  I’m also pretty sure any album listed on that map will NOT be one that is chosen, so that was a spoiler of huge proportions.

@PiNT
“Why is anyone speculating it’s not one of the ‘choosen 8’?  Do you think they will play an LP that got killed?”

No, its because were assuming those 7 campground albums are eliminated ,the 8th being mgmt is just rumored which means the album is one one the remaining 22 besides the 7 camps. Which leaves 15 albums to choose from. We weren’t supposed to see the map, there will probably be 8 left Thurs. and without the map we would have gone to see the unknown 7 camps to reveal the 8th winning album.
Of those 15 Id like id like Marquee Moon but still think maybe GYBR or Electric Warrior.

I think it is hysterical that everyone wants to meet up and enjoy some FOAM when/if MGMT comes on.  I must admit…before googling I had to ask some friends who/what MGMT were…lots said “management…duh”.  I listened and was not excited…I will enjoying a FOAM or five with those who feel the same way….
Where are we meeting!!!???

I don’t know if anyone else has noticed, but AC/DC back in black is gone (someone may have already posted something as I’m typing this, so congrats, you beat me to it). Either way, I can’t wait to party down in Indio! Our group heads out on Tuesday @ noon for a 32-hour road trip from Wisconsin. I can honestly say I have not been this pumped for a festival in a long time.

As far as albums go, I was kind of upset to see ‘Boston’ slain so late in the game. The vocals would have been tough, but I can’t stop thinking bout the few times they covered Foreplay/Longtime around 1994. Good stuff.

Anyways, my top 3 ‘picks’ (as of 10/25/09 11:00 PM CST) that are left goes like…

3)The Wall- highly unlikely, but I’m a Floyd fan at heart.

2)Chicago Transit Authority- this just seems really likely to me, plus   I am a huge fan of the 7.10.1999 Bathtub Gin with a funky “I’m a Man” jam

1)Zeppelin I - I know..I know..i’ve seen plenty of objections to this because “they’ve heard a Good Times, Bad Times encore 6 times”..I just think Trey really wants to be Jimmy Page for Halloween, that’s it, that’s all. The album itself is great (in my opinion of course) and I think the boys would do it justice. If not, they might as well play MGMT so I can walk up to the Overlook and gaze at the surroundings.

As a final side note, I also see a Bowie, Zappa or Stones album as strong possibilities. Who knows, I could be wrong and it will not be any of the 6 I mentioned. Either way, I can’t wait to party down in Indio! (to reiterate my original point before the journey begins….)
