cool, common ground with carvedog.
No disrespect to the Dead, of course they laid the ground work, but I get tired of the assumption that Phish is just some extension of the Dead. I never saw the Dead live(did see Phil Lesh and friends tho).
THe new shows sound pretty good too, but have a listen to YEM from the first show...funny to hear them make mistakes like that. But that opener of Fluffhead is super solid. The jams are still short of explosive, but that will come.
