Not really one for parsing shows song by song, stat by stat. I've always felt that the pleasure of a powerful Phish experience is in how it all hangs together.

Phish on 7/18/2014 sounded and felt more like the band I used to enjoy up through 1996 than the band I stared seeing again in 2012. I've been happy with Phish 3.0 (since the band and I are eyeing the same rocking chair), but this was something different for me in recent years. All I can say is, if they're playing shows like this enough to make 7/18/2014 just something average, then all of you who see them frequently are luckier than you know. And if they don't play like this all the time, then I guess those of us there on Friday were the lucky ones. That's certainly how I feel.
