amazing rock.

their first one was the Beatles white album, the whole thing.. then they did quadrophenia completely the next halloween
the one after that they did talking heads remain in light and the halloween after that they did Velvet Underground's LOADED

two nights after Loaded they played all of dark side of the moon

it takes some skillz to learn and arrange whole albums in the few weeks between voting ending and the concert!

All four shows have been released in their entirety as Live Phish Volume 13, 14, 15 and 16.[

I got the white album as a bootleg soon after they did it. it was awesome and while my guitar gently weeps was fucking killer

Beat me to it.

Yeah, I have all of their Halloween shows.....and a shit more too.

But yeah, the White Album one is pretty fucking great. They nail it.

Laibach should cover everything. Luckily, they seem to be in the process of doing precisely that.

Carla Bozulich covered the whole of the Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson, and it's very, very near to being as good as the original (although, obviously, no-one touches Willie).

Screeching Weasel - Ramones.

Glice · 08.20.2008, 01:15 PM

Someone did the whole of Trout Mask Replica, can anyone remember who that was? Or did I imagine it?

noisereductions · 08.20.2008, 01:19 PM

OH Smithereens covered MEET THE BEATLES last year.

atsonicpark · 08.20.2008, 01:21 PM

Nah, no one's done Trout Mask yet . Someone should though.

I read a few years back about some guy who covered a lot of DK songs on accordian; not sure if he did a whole album though.

demonrail666 · 08.20.2008, 01:26 PM

Neil Haggerty would probably do something interesting with Trout Mask. The fact that he'd probably do something interesting covering any album is another matter.

noisereductions · 08.20.2008, 01:34 PM

Recently some singer-songwriter I never heard of covered a bunch of Crass songs. Dont' know if it was an album in full deal.

Also of note: Dump's amazing THAT SKINNY MOTHER... (Prince songs). Soooooooo good.

MellySingsDoom · 08.20.2008, 01:38 PM

Some band whose name I foget (Beslan???) covered a good part of Whitehouse's "Great White Death" in a "rock" stylee a while back...

mangajunky · 08.20.2008, 02:18 PM

I seem to remember Husker Du touring doing Tommy live.

Savage Clone · 08.20.2008, 02:58 PM

It's an excellent way to keep up with contracts during periods of writer's block.

johnnywinternoshow · 08.20.2008, 03:39 PM

Camper Van Beethoven - Tusk (Fleetwood Mac)
Kelly Stoltz - Croc-o-dials (Echo & The Bunnymen)

Jeffrey Lewis

Very good it was too

last night i just saw queen diamond, an all-girl king diamond tribute band, switch gears to metallica and cover master of puppets in its entirety. killer. they're from philly and they're school of rock all-stars to boot. they totally slay.

noisereductions · 08.27.2008, 01:15 PM

Oh Yeah, Nels Cline's INTERSTELLAR SPACE REVISITED is amazing! (Coltrane)

PAULYBEE2656 · 08.27.2008, 01:28 PM

irish guy mark o reilly i think did an album of radiohead songs on a clssical piano....real nice if you like to drink wine and eat cheese and look like adickheaded penguin whilst you hob nob with someone named quentin......

noisereductions · 08.27.2008, 01:39 PM

Though Paulybee makes little sense, that Christopher O'Reilley album (TRUE LOVE WAITS) is pretty ok. Although I think Brad Mehldau's interpretations of Radiohead are better.

batreleaser · 08.27.2008, 03:46 PM

kylie minoise did that awesome version of the napalm death tune, the name escapes me, one of the best noise artists on the planet right now

these would be cool i think:
the flying luttenbachers (RIP) doing the damned's 'damned damned damned', and also the weasel walter quarter/sextet doing ayler's 'spritual unity'.
the hospitals doing thee headcoats' 'beach bums must die'
the dead c doing suicide's 'debut'
the silver daggers doing the screamers demos collection
burmese doing brutal truth's 'extreme conditions demand extreme responses'
lightning bolt doing black flag's 'the process of weeding out'
ruins doing magma's 'mekanik komandoh'
six organs of admittance doing van morrison's 'veedon fleece'

It's kind of disturbing that you know that much about Phish.

schizophrenicroom · 08.27.2008, 05:55 PM

the walkmen covered harry nilsson's "pussy cats" and it's a bit weird, but spot on.

noisereductions · 08.27.2008, 06:57 PM

I love the Walkmen version of PUSSY CATS. In fact, it's the only Walkmen album that I listen to regularly.
