But hey, apparently a few shows with no covers and no versions of a few old warhorses is enough to make people disgruntled even when they're out there doing stuff like Hood, Gin By Limb and that Fuego> DWD> Twist> Light segment..

I agree the first sets are pretty disjointed and some of the new material hasn't yet found it's way.. But crap. Give it time, you know? As much as I love YEM, it really can make me retroactively feel like the band felt rushed through the 2nd set knowing they had to leave 20 minutes for it.

I've advocating mini-shelvings for a large chunk of set centerpiece songs for awhile now. It'd be cool if the Tweezers, lights and DWDs moved into a Support capacity while the band played around with some new blood. 3 shows in and we have one of the three most interesting 3.0 versions of Gin, Limb and Hood already. Combine that with a phenomenal jam out of a song that's only been played like 5 times and it seems like we are undertaking something exciting.

And on yeah, Phish if you are reading this and you miss the summer vibes of Ya Mar... Don't forget you wrote Round Room. That song / jam was way too cool to leave back in the aughts.
