the level of apologism in the review and these comments...I don't get it. to bust out "Miss You" (personal significance set aside) in the middle of the second set is a bad call. Period. I'm starting to think I need a break from Phish if these types of song choices and (at times) thoroughly mediocre playing are what passes as good to the phans these days. There were some good moments over this three-show run, and I enjoyed them. Time to just set it down for a while. Enjoy LA and SD.

Agreed. I've been completely unimpressed with this tour. I'm not someone who needs to have long jams to think a show is great. I want flow and sharpness. If you compare this year's Phish to Fall Tour '10, for instance, 2010 is far, far better, on the whole. They're playing then, while devoid of any monster jams such as we've gotten accustomed to in recent years, was extremely tight and most enjoyable. I can't say the same this year.

While they've been significantly sharper than the murky sludge that was most of 2014, I just don't think they have it right now.

I don't think it's a lack of effort. I think they're trying really hard and I think they really do care, I just think they are a band in transition right now, and I'm not overly interested in enduring it right now.

I lost interest in this tour entirely after the 2nd night of the Gorge, which was one of the most disappointing shows I've heard them play in recent years, on top of five or six major clunkers earlier in the tour.

Oh well. You have to have tours like this in order to compare them to tours which are great. I'll have hopes that Fall will be different.
