I generally try to keep to the "if you've got nothing nice to say, then don't say anything". But this tour has been taxing my patience... big time.

I honestly don't give a crap what songs the boys decide to play. Fast, slow, dark, bliss, composed, woohs, whatever... but they need to jam... a lot. That's why I'm a Phish fan. That's what they do so well that virtually no one else does. But this tour, with its sing songy, lots of songs per set, micro-mini jam (to the point where it doesn't exist) nonsense is not what I'm looking for in a Phish show.

Sure, there have been some exceptions... but this show is a great example of Phish as a standard band playing a whole bunch of songs. Sure, some of them are "deep catalog tracks", but again... where's the beef?

I really hope that the NYE run takes us to the other extreme. A 5 song second set sounds just lovely about now!
