I gotta stick with Robes on this one. Re: the review and the shows themselves. I loved seeing new, fiery, albeit short versions of classics. But I'm gonna have to go back to the clock on those final 2 sets on 12/31. I swear Set III was only an hour long.

My issue with this run was simple. Too much starting and stopping, not enough flow. That means that there are hot songs, not hot sets, and that's what this run was missing.

I am always glad, glad glad to be a part of the Phish NYE tradition and hope it continues for many more years, but I don't want them to become a nostalgia act because it will just turn their biggest fans, the most emotionally connected ones, into a bunch of cynical, unhappy critics.
