Fair. But you didn’t economics in your initial post. That said… to the programming: the floor has risen quite a bit since, say, 2014. Almost to the point of @cdirksen.bsky.social’s “average-great” being a thing again. Maybe “average-good”?

Full agree on the higher floor. I posted this previously but the band has really locked in a “little of this and a little of that” formula that makes a true flop of a show so rare these last few years.

guys guys this is a conversation for @hfpod.bsky.social or some shit, be careful generalizing when you’ve got a number of phish jamming songs being regularly performed these days that rarely achieve pre-3.0 Excellence (see eg Bowie, Stash, Antelope, etc), yet others routinely excel like Tweezer…

i think most of the disclaimers and caveats are implied cause we’re limited in characters. but yes. i know the frustration with antelope and bowie and others not returning to 1.0 glory while wave of hope gets 25 minute jams.

Columbus Antelope encore was a ton of fun the other night. Not comparing it to the monsters of the old days, but I personally enjoyed it in that spot more than I have in recent times. 5 minutes.

I don’t even want it to be a monster. I just want it to build/shift gears more. Maybe 12-15mins again?
