Chop Since this is such a point of contention, I didn't include the secret sets because I feel it isn't fair to divorce the music from the visual elements in them. I think it's possible to "get" a set of Phish's music without being at the show. But I don't think you can fully comprehend the Tower Jam, Storage Jam, or Drive-In set without being there.

These pieces are performance art where the visuals are just as important as the music. Technically, I could have included the Lemonwheel Ambient set. But once I decided it wasn't fair to rate the other secret sets without considering the visuals, I just eliminated all of them.

If I had included them, Magna and IT stay the same, Lemonwheel jumps Oswego and Clifford Ball, but doesn't move up a tier, and Super Ball flips with Festival 8.

I'm rather amazed so many people are hung up on this.
