It must be kinda rough to be a jaded vet and only live to hear superlative shows, or to genuinely feel like Phish has "a lot of bad songs". I am not offended by such folks, but I do pity them. It's odd. I do distinguish between average and truly fantastic shows, but the former are still pretty damn enjoyable. I can find the beauty in songs like Secret Smile, or obscure bluegrass covers. I can also acknowledge those gargantuan jams as a key aspect of what makes this band the best act in the world. I am aware that there are probably some condescending notes in my tone here and I don't mean it to come off that way. But damn. It does not sound all that fun to be the wine snob equivalent of a Phish fan. Perhaps I'm mistaken.
