Phish - Loaded / The Dark Side Of The Moon (1998)

After taking a year off from Halloween in 1997, Phish returned to their Halloween tradition the following year with a performance at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. With heavy rumours of Pink Floyd‘s 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' circulating, the band surprised everyone when they instead performed 'Loaded' by The Velvet Underground. This performance lacked any guest musicians, focusing instead on the four members of Phish as they performed the classic art-rock album, and 'Rock And Roll' remains the true standout from the night, having  found a home in Phish’s rotation of covers ever since.

Funnily enough (or not so funnily enough depending on who you talk to), Phish would deliver on 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' rumours just two nights later, performing the album in its entirety at an undersold “E” Center in West Valley City, Utah, as an unofficial entry into their Halloween catalogue.
