@TwiztAround:

I play music as well. Would you agree that there is a minimum standard of competency that you would hold yourself to when it comes to your command of a song before you'd step onto a stage and play that song (knowing that mistakes will always happen)? There is for me, albeit far lower than Phish's.

Phish trusts their fans and sometimes they lower the bar and take a flyer with a tune they haven't played recently, or practiced, hoping that muscle memory will carry the day. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Noting that in a blog or in discussion comments is pretty much the norm around here and has always been. Phish obviously doesn't care one way or another, so I'm not sure whose delicate sensibilities you're trying to protect.
