What Would You Like On Your Costume-stone?
It's well established at this point that Halloween Phish shows are special. Different. Spifferent, they are. The reason is simple: On Halloween, Phish comes in "costume." Not dressed up, not that, Fishman dress aside. Their costume is musical. They become an act, and play one of those act's signature albums in its entirety.
They've been The Beatles. They've been The Who. In my favorite incarnation, they were The Talking Heads.
It's coming again. Halloween. And Phish is back. And the question becomes . . . which costume would make your dreams come true, would make you grin, would make you dance the meatstick until Thanksgiving?
This isn't a casual question for a Phish fan, my friends. These bands seep into Phish. They influence our favorite band. This summer we got at least two Beatles covers and a positively IMMENSE Psycho Killer. Whatever they do at the end of Octover, it is safe to say that it will have lasting reverberations throughout the Phishiverse.
I'm going to go with Stevie Wonder's Innervisions. What's your pick?

JOY.
plus mike did play 'swamp music' last night....
he also played '15 steps' by radiohead....hmmmm??
Appetite
Phish is definitely on a PR run as of late, so...
...that being said, I'm leaning towards something from the Rolling Stones.
Won't be JOY.
RadioHead or Pavement would be stellar...but I'm thinking it's just too mellow.
Whatever it may be...should be a Real Good Time.
My final selection is: WORKINGMAN'S DEAD.
TOO COOL!
Hey, check this George Harrison parody song.

With Exile you would definitely get the horn section. Let it Loose is probably my favorite ballad of all time, though I do like Memory Motel a lot too.
Thriller seems to be the most obvious choice though....
