nichobert I'm pretty much positive to a fault when it comes to 3 .0 Phish..

But holy cow, 3 segues perfectly lined up in -> Water, -> Piper and -> Weekapaug. Fishman bungled all 3 in the exact same way. By being incapable or unwilling to go with the flow and jump into a song in its second measure.

He has done this a LOT on the past few years. You'll get a few bars of the band successfully sliding into a new song, then Fish decides to stop playing and start from the 1.

It drives me way more nuts than a Trey ripcord because when Fish does this, the segue has already happened but he refuses to acknowledge it. With ripcords, it's more like a potential is unrealized. We pretend like he's cutting off 5 minutes of spectacular Improv, but more likely it's just the next 2.5 measures until Treys riff would actually be ale to fit over what they were doing.

IMO, this was the low point of the tour. This or mpp1. Like others have said, that's a very nice baseline for a tour thusfar.

Water in The Sky was the most frustrating. It was set up to be a master stroke segue with Page perfectly lining up the waterfall arpeggio. Oh well. I don't love them any less, but iD LOVE to interview Fish about what he's thinking in these moments.
