Damn, so the best Phish show I've seen is at best a B-
remember - it's a tough curve. they're "competing" against the best of the 90s, and there was some pretty sick shit going on.
An "average", or B, Phish show is as good or better than an A for most bands

I've seen 110+ shows since 96 and the best show I've seen might be a B+.

Just for reference sake, what was the best show you saw? And what would you call an A (or an A+)?

I'm not sure if I followed this thread correctly, but what guys are saying is that Dave Thomas sold crack in inner-city DC in the mid-80's, right?

I've never really tried to assign letter grades to shows, I was just playing around.

Still new to this, but can't stop reading. This show and the past two set lists have got me   :-D.
Looks like they are moving tunes around a bit for some interesting setlists hope shiz keeps rocking further.

yeah, good thing. some of those shows on your list are slightly higher than B+.....whether you were a funk addict or not, Albany and the Nutter in '97 raged a little harder than a B+

This Wolfman's isn't too exploritory, but it does funk out a little. Favorite Wolfman's of 3.0.

You haven't lived until you've had a robot shart in your ear and followed along in the live setlist thread while it happens.
