"With Phish, the outcome -- the product, the recording -- is much less important than the process by which it's generated on the night through improvisation. That process is the 'sacred' thing. The extraordinary sense of possibility, openness, risk, which is central to the Phish experience: that's the feeling you don't actually get from other bands. Not because Phish are 'better at jamming' than everyone, but because they go about their job in a way that leaves them weirdly present and vulnerable night after night, and we in the audience can feel it."

Thank you waxbanks. That was precisely my sentiment. I cherish music and do listen to as much as I can and as many genre's as I can. But Phish just take me to a whole different level by the way they improvise, feed off of each other, make mistakes, test the boundaries, etc...
