Bands Covering Whole Albums

demonrail666 · 08.20.2008, 10:20 AM

Pussy Galore did Exile on Main Street, The Queers did Rocket to Russia and SY talked about doing the whole of The White Album. Just wondering what other bands might do an interesting job of covering another band's whole album.

oh there ws something huge, I cant really remember....man
whish it will come back to my mind, something like covering the whole backkatalog of a band

fugazifan · 08.20.2008, 10:22 AM

didnt Sy once sing half of a black flag album at some show?

demonrail666 · 08.20.2008, 10:23 AM

I wouldn't be surprised if they did that with half of Damaged, can't imagine them going for another album though.

I thought that Thurston recited the first half of Family Man because their equipment was messing up.

Hah.

demonrail666 · 08.20.2008, 10:27 AM

I suppose the fact it was Thurston doing it makes it more likely that it wouldn't be the 'obvious' choice.

I think the opportunity has passed now, but for a while it seemed like a Grateful Dead album (say Workingman's Dead) would've been an obvious candidate for a SY cover job.

narlus · 08.20.2008, 10:43 AM

clawhammer did the first Devo LP.

does Dirty Projectors' take on _Damaged_ count?

noisereductions · 08.20.2008, 10:52 AM

The Walkmen did Nilssen's PUSSY CATS.

Phish did a bunch of live album cover albums didnt they?

blunderbuss · 08.20.2008, 11:10 AM

Acid Mothers Temple did Terry Riley's "In C".

Rob Instigator · 08.20.2008, 11:31 AM

Phish had a tradition of Haloween shows. they let their fans vote on which album that Phish would "wear" as a musical costume. They played three sets on their halloween shows, a 1 hour set, then a break, then the complete album chosen by fans, then a break then a 2 hour set
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

noisereductions · 08.20.2008, 11:38 AM

Yeah I was always interested in picking up THOSE live albums. The only actual Phish album I liked (that I heard) was FARMHOUSE.

Rob Instigator · 08.20.2008, 11:45 AM

their albums are hit and miss. they were a very very sepcial live band though, improvisational freakouts that in no way sounded like the fluffy bullshit of dave matthews.

Dream Theater do it a lot, but Dream Theater are bad music

SYRFox · 08.20.2008, 11:56 AM
