Would I like to hear the composed sections of Vultures, Rift, and The Mango Song played perfectly?

Sure.

Do I expect every single song to be played flawlessly?

No, because as the songbook expands and time passes, execution suffers. I'm fine with it.

It seems fans will not get the "best of both worlds" that Phish delivered in their heyday and to ask for that type of performance qualifies as asking for too much. I'd much rather hear artfully crafted jams and extended experimentation where the band does what they do best versus numerous impeccable versions of classics from rigorous practice. Could the execution be better? Of course it could, but I am not going to harp on the poor performances as the good outweighs the bad.

I would rather hear sloppy renditions of beloved songs mixed in with the ambient and dark jams than no effort at all given to classics like Rift and Fee.

Throw in a bit of fun and unforeseen song choices from a goofy band = good time.

Pointing out the irregularites of the band's performance overshadows the great moments. Phish is sometimes rigid and sometimes loose, often quirky and unpredictable. That's why we all love them so much, right?
