The Biscuits have definitely perfected segues from the peak of one song into a peak of another song with flawless execution, especially the Biscuits of 2001-2005 when Sammy was still drumming and they weren't as over the top techno as they have been the last few years, (when they play at all...).

my impression is that the disco biscuits keep things easy for themselves in this regard by having a much, much smaller stylistic envelope for jams (and songs) than phish do. phish's segues are compelling partly because they're so often unpredictable -- energy > fluff > piper came out of nowhere.

trey's 'write a song in every key for every setlist position' mania makes phish's segue-happy past all the more impressive, i think.
