Exile on California
In the months leading up to Festival 8 (Phish's first festival west of the Mississippi), fans were anxiously guessing what album they would cover on Halloween night. The wide range of rumors ranged from '70s rock classics like David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" to modern epics such as Radiohead's "Kid A." But by Halloween morning, all bets were settled when the show's program guide officially revealed The Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main St." The 1972 double LP had a major influence on the band (Phish has been covering "Loving Cup" for years) and on Saturday in front of 40,000 people, the concept of covering the entire album became a reality. All four members (Trey, Mike, Page and John) took turns singing Mick Jagger's lead vocal parts, while a 3-piece horn section and background vocals (featuring Sharon Jones) elevated the classics to soulful new levels--while respecting the integrity of the original arrangements. Of course, a few of the songs were extended Phish-style, yet they jams were tasteful and never too noodle-y. Keep in mind: there are 18 songs on "Exile" plus they played two other regular sets that same night.
