I'm willing to settle too, obviously.

Just saying "The best of all worlds" - where Phish really squeezes every ounce out of the composed parts & occasionally jams out of something you'd never expect. With most of the old 'heavy hitter' exploratory jam-vehicles molded into Type I volcanic eruptions, the scene is set for a whole new cast of classic jam songs to emerge and start blazing their own trails - IMO a much better solution than "Turning YEM/Bowie/Gin/Tweezer 'back into' the YEM/Bowie/Gin/Tweezers we have loved" - Those paths have been well mapped already and oh so many songs salivate for their moment to prove their worth under the bright lights in the big leagues. They've seen Fee's brief call up on 7/8/99, Roses back in the minors after a strong stint leading up to the Willenium* (* TM Will Smith), Coil's detonation on 5/8/93 amongst a score of others.

Phish's "surprise" jams freakin rule. I live for 40 Minute Bouncin now.
