Stay tuned to The Wagger throughout the weekend for real-time setlists, photos, downloads and news from Indio. By the way, the only albums that have not been killed off yet are Exile on Main Street (The Rolling Stones), Hunky Dory (David Bowie), Electric Ladyland (The Jimi Hendrix Experience), The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Genesis), and MGMT. My original guess was that they would play Exile on Main Street. Check out the last albums left alive here. Hold your breath -- Phish's Musical Costume is close to being revealed!!!
