I'm one who really really really hates flubs. I can't just ignore a poorly executed composed section of a song and immediately get down to a great type II jam. The poor execution sits with me and makes it take a heck of a lot longer to get into a groove once it's over. In some I think Phish hasn't "earned" the jam when they royally f*ck up the composed parts.

Given my perspective, I can't stand Coventry obviously. And I absolutely LOVE Clifford Ball!!! Give me some rip roaring type I with great set lists and I'll be happy as hell. I listen to Clifford Ball a ton and think it stands up very well.

I also think when ranking on re-listen value nothing should be discounted. If you're skipping tracks because they stink well that means the set stinks. So you must sit through the Coventry Glide while assessing that show. Any poor songs have to take away from the good ones. Yet another reason I would end up ranking Clifford Ball high.

I don't think I'm quite ready to make my list but I would have Clifford Ball and Magnaball top 4 for sure and Fest 8 and Coventry at the bottom for sure.
