I think you guys hit the nail right on the head.

but keep what's important, and know who's your friend"

i havnt checked this thread in a couple days so im not sure if this has been said in relation to the latest argument.  like everyone has said, 93 was the heat in terms of starting to break the rules, rock, tight composed sections, etc.  i do enjoy the 12 song 2nd sets from time to time, with some nice segues(tmwsiy>sloth) but most of the time im left wanting more from a particular song.   where could it have gone?  regardless, there have been sacrifices along the way, i saw 31 shows in 97-98 and i remember wishing that the setlists had the selection of a show from 93-94.  those are the years that got me into phish, and yet its ironic that all i seem to listen to is 97-98 and (gasp) post hiatus.   early phish is what got me hooked, 97 and 98 is what kept me there for life.

cant wait for the next show!!! any hints on what were gonna be listening to?

  Its all about viewing the show in its phishtorical context. Juxtaposing  it with everything that came after takes away from its importance.  But compare this show to what came before...the segues and raritites really make this show stand out from those in the past..thats what makes the show important.
   While everyones opinions are valid, we should try to remember and place ourselves in the era during which the shows are played when making our observations. Thats not to say we shouldnt compare and contrast new/old, but it makes it a more "interesting" listen when listened to with "time machine" ears...does that even make sense?

Couldn't have said it any better myself. Well put birdman! :-)

But, I don't think our fans do happily lap it up, I think they go online and talk about how it was a bad show.

Nice discussions.

I like the idea of phishtorical context.  In '93 Phish was a good band, their shit was tight however they were not yet champion improvisers.  '93 Phish is like '68 Dead.

Just let it go, if some folks join in on this after the first one is locked, they won't get to add their two cents worth. I'm sure these will peter out when there's nothing left to say.
