I think I've gone on record ad nauseum in favor of tight, well-played music with nuggets of gold hidden in the nuance of the playing, regardless of the length of jams.

Phish's playing this tour has been at an all-star level, compared to most of 3.0, and certainly to last year (which I contend was a down year, or to be more generous, a transitional year), with generally very competent and engaged playing every night. This tour has not had any real clunkers, though there has been inevitable ebb and flow, which cannot be anything but expected.

My point is simply that I agree with @Lerxst above...these days it is a collossal error to judge a show by the setlist and by song timings....this has always been true but especially so this tour.
