6/13/94 destroys -- utterly destroys -- anything Phish has played in 3.0. The reason we're so keyed in on improvisational abandon is that the "standard" Phish experience has been so degraded. Look, I'm no hater. I don't take any pleasure in pointing it out. But facts are facts.
Well thats the thing, I think we would all be able to stomach less improvisation if Trey was still playing 200 miles an hour and shredding like a maniac. The issue now is Phish isn't playing short but shreddy like they were in 1991-1994 and they aren't doing big exploratory jamming like they were in 97-2000. They are somewhere in the middle, leaving phans of those two styles (arguably representing 95%+ of phans) all hoping for more and none 'really' happy.
