It’s always ironic to me that folks wanna hear “Icculus” but they don’t wanna read the book! They don’t want to surrender their (fairly unimaginative) expectations, they can’t praise the band without mentioning that they “know” how much “better” the band should be, and that every other evening is always a few song choices short of their big phantasy. As the writer mentioned the jams, although shorter, have been consistently impressive, and the times they felt cut short were to segue quite smoothly into another song. There were a handful of absolutely 5-stars shows this summer whose rating on this site barely scratch a 4, and last night’s show is currently at a 4.6 because folks feel they need to regulate the excitement and disallow this show from reaching its rightful status of one-of-the-greatest-Phish-shows-PERIOD.
