phish has lots of songs. LOTS and lots of songs. Their repertoire has far surpassed their ability to touch on most of it, especially in the small tours they do these days. I think shows like the past two nights illustrate this. It's difficult to touch all the bases of old and new, warhorses and bust outs, slow and rocker, and keep a smooth set flow. They have so many songs that few are ever satisfied with all the choices. I've seen many reviews where a "vet" complains how they hate classics, Possum for example, not to mention new songs. They will still pull off good flows, sometimes often, but shows like the past couple nights are just the way it goes now. I think they realize, oh, we haven't played enough songs this tour, and try to cram.
