Great interview. Glad to hear the guys/gals at TAIT are phans.

What Tek9 said, x 100. Do different things with them throughout the first and second sets. Split them into different patterns. "Improv" them along with the band. Phish is about unpredictability, and I would agree there has been more of a predictability with them as of late. Could be age, status, whatever...or MAYBE they're just getting a feel for the whole thing.

It WAS mentioned that there's stuff Chris hasn't even used yet.

And, next year is the 20th anniversary of arguably the most creative and unpredictable year of Phish. The year Phish Destroyed America. Maybe, to commemorate that year (if they so choose) they will rediscover that spirit and will commence the end of "first sets".

Not that I would expect them to do that - that's "too predictable". But, you never know...
