I gotta tell you guys i think its so cool your having this talk. I just had it with my brother after NYE. When told me over the last year or so that they sound better than they ever have i didnt really believe it. I was like whatever dude it just proves that eating tons of shrooms and crap changes your ability to appreciate it at the time. But I gotta say, I was at this show and NYE among many others and nothing that I heard then, sounds as crisp, and tight as what theyre doing now.

@Druss1586 If this post is your evidence then I guess your right. If you take into account the music that was written in this period and slightly before, it is by far their best work. What's funny is I think they spoon feed predictable jams to the crowd nowadays. Guess I'm just old, my first show was the night before this one in DC. The old Phish cared about composition and structure, the 2K+ is about the jam and crowd getting off. I know what I like better, I respect those who disagree.

3.0 Phish is 100x better structured than this "good ol" Phish you speak of. Adversely, these years did seem more of an environment for tripping as it was like a circus and LESS ABOUT THE MUSIC. However, if we speak in terms of quality of music and improvisation... 3.0 is the best yet and if you argue that I'd need some proof. My proof is seeing them live 30+ times in 2009/10. Phish is still blowing minds daily, believe that.

@gramelspacher1 hell yeah man, as a 17 year old im just glad they are still touring so I can see them

[gramelspacher1]

phish is still just as good. probably even more musically talented and fluid than they were back then..i dont know why people have to get mad about phish today. at least they are playing. that is better than nothing. In addition to the fact that the quality of their music is unbelievable now. In 2004, they had to restart certain songs because they fucked up so hard
