nichobert I don't feel like the repeats, in and of themselves was really a bad thing. While it would be a bummer to see a lot of the same songs twice in a weekend, I'm guessing you're in a tiny minority of people who saw all 3 shows. It's unfortunate that this minority is made up of the people most likely to care about seeing those repeats.

The thing that worries me the most about the repeats is the notion that the Worcester shows were some sort of practice run for Bonnaroo and the tour at large. After last summer started off pretty improv heavy before working it's way towards some predominately standard shows, I'm hoping we don't get a repeat this year. Phish's improv feels so fresh right now, especially in the rare shows like the first two nights of Bethel where they have a handful of succinct thematic jams coming in unexpected places. I feel like that's a really interesting way to approach the song/jam dichotomy and probably both less tiresome and less predictable than simply dropping a 15 minute unfinished Disease every once in awhile.
