Dick's run from last year blows this year's run out of the water. And usually I say that's just my opinion but in this case it's just reality. still enjoyed this year but just couldn't touch last yr. on to fall tour

I agree that the high water mark of Dick's last year has yet to be eclipsed. Tahoe Tweezer was not as densely brilliant as Light Dicks '12. 37 minutes of low energy noodling does not great phish make....especially cause it created this extreme case of the Woooos.
Still for me Saturday was the funky dance party that I needed.I wish they all could be Colorado girls. We love Dick's.
Don't agree that the Tahoe Tweezer was 37 unfocused minutes of "noodling around" as you somewhat claimed in your other post. Neither to I share your feeling on the woo's. The spontaneity of wooing at Tahoe must be separated from the grandstanding that followed in other shows, and subsequently appreciated in context. The woos at Tahoe were the equivalant of an uncontrolled moan from your partner during intense sex. It was a clear indication of the visceral and organic swell of the moment.

Have to say, though, that you're right on about the Light from 9/1/12. In fact, the entire Golden Age> Caspian> Light sequence to open that 2nd set stands to me as the finest 50 minutes of music the band played last year. Just listened to it last week, in fact. Yet and still, you are seriously undervaluing the Tahoe Tweezer, in borderline criminal fashion.
