nichobert It is utterly amazing how many times I completely went off the rails in that first post. Sorry. I meant to tie everything together and instead I just walked the planks of tangents.
I can't tie it up, but here, i'll throw the strings still in my hand at it.

Phish is probably jamming as much as pre-97 Phish. It comes in multiple short shots instead of big ones, and this tour is certainly less improv inclined than the first leg, but there are still major highlights. I totally understand the fear that we're reverting to a previous 3.0, but they've already played 3 of the most complete sets of the past 3 years just in the past 10 shows. I'm nowhere close to writing off how this thing could end though. If Dicks comes out St. Louis-ing us, this leg is a success. Period. 5 great shows out of 12 is just too much heat. Especially when the "bad shows" have stuff like that Rock & Roll-> Lizards, DWD> Birds,Tweezer, KDF> Golden Age> Free & Chalkdust-> What's The Use? or the San Fran Simple. Pretty heady highlights. I'd put them on a vegan burrito and ice it down with organic dark dank beers and trade it to a custy for his puffy shoes and his sweet flat-brim any day brah.

Bustouts can be great if the song is great. But the 2032 kids begging for Dr. Gabel are going to be asking just to put it on their HoloStats.
