@nichobert and @kyediggs - I agree with much of what you write. I certainly don't want Phish to be a retro or nostalgia act. And it's great they've moved on to so many other great jamming songs. A jammed out Halfway To The Moon or Heavy Things would be awesome. I just wish 2 things as far as Bowie goes:

1) Once in a while, let it breathe, just a little - not in '94 style, in '12 style, the same way that happens currently with Tweezer or Light or Sand;
2) If most of the time, it's going to be played Type I, that's fine, but make it great Type I - check out 11/5/88, 12/7/90, or 5/27/94 for fantastic Type I versions.

But your points are excellent. Thank You!
