Several other album covers have been altered. Look Closely

Beastie Boys
Steely Dan
Ramones
Rush
T-Rex
Tom Petty

Many of the album covers have been “tampered with.” Look closely at Rush “Moving Pictures” (Trey and Page moving a keyboard), Steely Dan “Pretzel Logic” (Fish’s horn helmet), Tom Petty’s Phish T-shirt, Beastie Boys’ “Hello Nasty” sardine can. They’re messing with everyone…

The Beastie Boys cover is a pic that was in this very magazine. There’s at least one other that has been altered. I freakin’ can’t stand Phish and I somehow know this?

come on Hot Rats!

would love American Beauty…

The opening notes of the first track on Hendrix’s “Electric Ladyland” sound exactly like the spooky gong sound on the Phish Halloween site. Could be a clue…

American beauty would be awesome…SEE YOU IN ALBANY PHANS LET THE PARTY BEGIN

bring on albany!

what you albany phans need too do is get to Indio for the HALLOWEEN SHOW. You will jizz in your pants when you see how the west coast throws down, all the medi weed you can handle baby, mushrooms grow wild up north in oregon and washington!!!!! Just so you know I’m from upstate NY and moved west 8 years ago, wouldn’t dream of moving back with or without all the big festies out there. West is where its at if youre a real head! I sense a huge exodus of more east coast kids to the west after this show is over with.

fuck the west coast! The west coast blows compared to the east coast. Ive been west and all the people there are way too chill and boring. East coasters now how to get down and rage. Seeing shows on the east coast is so much more exciting. Enjoy the festival in Cali because I am sure it will be the last west coast festival….

To each his own.

I personally hope they play MGMT. All my phriends hate this band and I would love it so much.

See ya’ll in Cinci and VA.

Like I said if youre a real head. Sounds like you’re full of “rage”, you are right though, we are way chill!!!! Must be all that west coast love!!

dude i went to a phish show once, got sold some shooms in the parkinglot, met some fat chic, had sex with her in the parking lot, never made it in, she got pregnant, we ended up getting married and now have 3 kids, i work in a shoe store and hate my life. Thanks Phish.

Another alteration: Evil Empire lists its band as “Page” Against The Machine.

But I’m rooting for Ziggy Stardust.

Obvious alteration on the Nivana cover. That’s Fishman’s pecker.

hmm so for the nyc shows you think i should get up close or is it better to be a little further back into the crowd..which way is better to enjoy the concert

YOU WANTED THE BEST AND YOU GOT THE BEST, THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE LAND…PHISH! They will be joined by Peter and Ace at some point as well. It’s gonna be baddass!

i guess if you can’t come up with any good material of your own you might as well cover somebody else.

Not sure if it’s been pointed out -Fishman appears on Exile on Main Street. I’m on the American Beauty bandwagon. In my circle of friends who are “Phans,” most avoid any talk of the Dead as part of a Phish conversation- likely due to the early and unfounded comparisons between the bands, i.e. Phish mimicks the GD, or Phish capitalized on the absence of the GD. That was a long time ago, and Phish has more than established themselves as unique, talented and creative. Point is, I think a lot of fans would enjoy a GD cover, not necessarily for the Halloween show, not necessarily an entire album, but something GD other than those poor recordings from the mid 80’s. I think American Beauty would be a great musical costume for Phish and be a big surprise to those of the “Grateful Dead… that’ll never happen” bunch. Just my opinion, and I’m not hanging my hat on American Beauty… there are plenty of amazing albums left on the chopping block. When the smoke clears on 10/31, I have no doubt a good product will emerge.

Are they ever going to come south again? its been since 99

Phuck Phish. Listen to WideSpreadPanic

And they won’t come down south because of the debacle in Knoxville. Ktown cops hate ‘em cause they confiscated like a millie in drugs from thier last show there. A retarded amount of people got arrested and Im pretty sure they told Phish to get out of town and stay the phuck out. Hell, the cops there almost arrested Dave Matthews for playing too long, it was a great show and he played forever, wich was past thier bedtime I guess. Dave hasn’t been back yet either.
But WideSpread comes every year and burns the house down. They are unbelievable live.

best band in america right now

Don’t even compare Panic to Phish. Completly different.

the hottest cover band in america…

its thriller
think about it. The first concert that they played people put thriller on after they finished the first set. You can all thank me later

you can be assured the halloween set will be Dio, Holy Diver

smelly hippy kids

So many people who hate on Phish are straight up haters who never acknowledge that they are reading every damn article that gets posted about them! Why the fuck are you reading the article then? We don’t need your stankin ass anyway. I know that when I see a Rod Stewart or Smashing Pumpkins article, I don’t click and read and post about it; I just skip it like it wasn’t ever there. Why waste your time and mine, Phish-haters. You’ll never understand this music. Deal with it, and keep it to your goddamn self.

A few more altered albums to note. Minutemen’s Double Nickel’s has Page in the rearview mirror. Electric Ladyland has Fishman in the middle of all the ladies. Bob Dylan’s Basement Tapes has Phish hiding out in the back row.

You Forgot about Jon Fishman’s face on the “banned” cover of Jimi’s Electric Ladyland.

brilliant

“Thriller” gets my vote for Halloween cover. Don’t love the original version but would LOVE to hear THEIR version! Imagine the possibilities!

born to run would be the lamest thing ever if thats what they decided to cover. i think i would actually leave the festival if thats what they chose. it was lame when they played together, please spare your fans the touture of an entire album of BS.
