InsectEffect I'm loving the "no covers" trend so far this summer. One persistent feeling I've had during 3.0 is that Phish would do well to set aside some heavy-rotation workhorse songs in favor of giving newer material a chance to develop and shine.

By suspending covers and releasing a new album, they've done just that, and as others have said, it's already paying off. It's great to hear Undermind and Fuego songs getting some welcome room to breathe, and I'm definitely excited for the prospect of more bustouts, unique placements and surprising jams as the summer progresses. Spock's Brain, anyone? Mike's band rocked it all winter...

BTW, the soundcheck for this show --included in the phish.net setlist-- looks absolutely ridiculous (on paper)! Is it circulating? Link please!
