Not every show can be epic. But that's the thing about Phish. Even a "bad" show from them is ten times for exciting and well played than the best show by just about any other band on the planet.

Again, I just don't get this statement. I'm curious as to how much music people who say this have listened to. I'm genuinely baffled that someone would rather listen to a bad Phish show than something great by somebody else. Do you actually think that Coventry is more exciting and well played than almost any show Wilco have played in the last decade or so? In terms of musical execution, not personal tastes of course.

I will say, SPAC3 may not have been great as a whole, but that Moma Dance is incredible. Same with SPAC1's Set II opening triad. The song execution isn't always there so far this tour, but there are moments when they are tapping into something very deep and contemplative. At times they are improvising as though nobody is watching. I love it.
