I wasn't thrilled about Exile compared to most of the other choices, but dang, they nailed it, they just hit it out of the park, followed by a killer set III, this was a classic show. I don't care for the "Phishbill" -- I wish they'd keep the surprise under wraps and publish their liner notes after set II -- especially considering the way-cool montage that introduced the Halloween costume set. I was somewhat disappointed in the selection, but it was awesome, a far better show than 1998. I'm not sure the phish sets reach the heights of 94 and 95, but Exile will probably end up with Remain in Light as the most successful costume sets ever.

Hubris to cover the Stones? What did you think about the Beatles and the Who? Doesn't that kind of close the circle there with one double album from each of the 3 greatest rock bands ever? Hubris? Read the Phishbill... this was done out of respect, not hubris. If the set had fallen flat, it could have been lame, but they crushed it. I don't own a single Stones album, but I know a band in the zone when I hear one. Naysayers stand down.
