The band looked and sounded tired last night. Sorry to bust balls but that is what I honestly thought. Curtain was a great opener but everything after that was standard fare in the first set, with no shock value fun. Set ii was better and I agree that the Tweezwich was a takeaway highlight from the weekend. It's too bad they opted for piper instead of 2001 coming out of it. The jam and space was perfect but trey rip corded into a working mans piper. Mikes had some good deep playing but there was little IT coming from the band at this point. Forced effort. Last night just seemed tired phish. Definitely the weakest Sunday show of summer. My 2c
Not to denigrate your take, as you are entitled to it, but I can't agree with your premise or conclusion. If, after The Wedge, the band had chosen a cool-down song or two followed by a series of "closer" songs, a.k.a. 2010, then I may have given your view credence, but for the band to fill the mid-set transition with the Tweezer> Sandjam (by all accounts an epic highlight), which carried well into the 4th quarter, well, all I can say is that if this represents the work of "tired" musicians, then let's raise a glass to sleepless nights.

Just a short 24 months ago this show would have been lauded as a watermark. We're getting spoiled.

Mike's> Sally> Paug was a strong finish, by any era's standard.
