“It wasn’t until concertgoers arrived at the gates that they finally learned what classic album Phish would cover in its entirety during their “musical costume” set at Festival 8. Reviving a tradition that began in 1994 when Phish covered The Beatles’ The White Album, last night the quartet staged an ambitious cover of the Rolling Stones’ 18-song double LP, Exile on Main St. As in years past, the costume choice was a closely-guarded secret until the day of the show, when thousands of “Phishbill” programs (à la Playbill) were distributed, complete with bios of the “cast,” which included Sharon Jones on vocals and members of the Dap Kings on horns.” [LAist]
