tmwsiy Funny the notion that so many people believe Phish has always been a jam band & that that is what they do. It is the exception, not the rule. To be shocked when Phish doesn't take out a deep extended jam belies their history. (Barring some notable brief stretches) This was a pretty good two-show run but not above average nor did they shit the bed on either night. Night 1's first set had plenty of highlights and was definitely pleasing. Night 2's Tweezer > No Quarter was enough to have made it worth the trip for me. Phish is special, but every song is not, nor is every show. Always been that way. Always been with the Possum too. Frankly, I'm much happier for them to pick something from the "jukebox" and rock it out rather than sleepy bullshit or a cappella or any of the other time wasters they've done in the past. They are playing well now and I do think the table has been set for a pretty good summer.
