standingonthemoon Thanks for the responses guys and I have to agree with all of you. I heard Peaches in Portsmouth for the first time and it probably wasn't the best version so it was a bit of a novelty. I also saw my first Destiny Saturday night at MPP and it was awesome. At the same time that's part of the appeal of the band, you never know what you are going to get. You could get a mediocre version of a song you've heard a thousand times or you could get the absolute best version you've ever had the opportunity to witness live. I agree that they are playing songs they are more comfortable with and if I put in 30 years on the road like these guys have I would do just that...play what I want to play. No doubt there will be bust outs like every tour and they'll do what we love them for because yes, they are the best band on the planet. I want to address what Jay was talking about in his 2 fold thinking. I never really thought about it but you're spot on. The Dead scene got nuts, it was a carnival. With gaps and multiple night runs it keeps it the carnival at bay. I'm in my 30's and when I hang out in the lot I like having a good time with my wife and friends as I'm sure a lot of you on this board like to. I don't want some spun out drunk guy trying to hassle me. Thinking back to when I first started seeing shows it was more of a circus. You'd have people there that couldn't name a Phish tune but followed them around and hung out in the lot during the show. Anyway, all good commentary thanks for putting in your 2 cents. I hope everyone has a great tour no matter where your travels take you. I'll be in CO again this year, I'm looking forward to it. Summer tour this year is especially light for me. I'm hoping for a fall tour as I'm sure everyone is. Hampton for Halloween? One can hope right? Take care.
