HenryHolland I got in to Phish in 2003 by stumbling across Trey playing Sleep in his garage. If I'd stumbled across a 20-minute jam I wouldn't be here because I find them boring after about two minutes. I love them for their prog rock epics like Divided Sky and songs like Foam, More, Lifeboy, Meatstick, The Line, Taste, and....Friday. What *I'm* bored with is the whole "first set = songs > second set = Type II jams" thing. Plus, I often wonder why they bother with encores, I've always loved the Simple Minds show I saw years ago where Jim Kerr said something like "We don't do an encore, we think it's a really dumb ritual. Here's our last song, good night".

I like the song selection for this show but having just finished listening to it, they seem a little tired and subdued. I get it, my one show this tour (Inglewood Forum) was just OK because they'd left it all on the floor at the Bill Graham Civic the previous three shows.
