I can remember back to 1998 when nobody expected Loaded and everyone was scratching their head that for the third time they passed over Pink Floyd. Three nights later they lay this grace on a half-full arena in Utah in the middle of the week.

If they didn't veer from the formula at some point then they wouldn't be Phish. They constantly do what you don't expect, some will love that and some will hate it. Personally I love it. Just when I thought I had it picked (DWD sounded so Mountain Jam to me the other night that I was certain we were getting Eat a Peach) they changed the game completely. This is another thing I love about Phish.

Regarding the music, it sounds like a group of 50 year old men that are masters of their craft. If a Phish show needs to mean getting your face melted for 3 hours straight then you need a time machine to go back to 1993. I was there, but now I'm old, and this music sounds fantastic to me. Sorry for those of you that disagree, I think they are better than ever.

Don't know if you can see ratings or not, but mine is a 1 but wanted it to be a 5. Technical difficulties.
