I know they are beloved like few other bands are today. A few years ago we were driving out of Florida when I think Phish agreed to hold over at Zephyrhills for a couple of extra nights. I-75 was jammed for miles with people trying to get to the extra shows.

    Pretty amusing thread.

And most likely the ones that aren't spot on were his way of honoring Clapton's goofy original solo.

    The real question is...Did Trey get this shirt from Jerry Garcia? I saw it again!

    phish will play an entire album front to back on Halloween sets, this being said if they don't do a perfect job on a particular album, who cares. If I hear a phish cover it's most likely not going to do the song any justice I would have loved to see them play this album, my favorite band playing an awesome beatles album.
