Four shows this tour and loved every one of them (and I don't know how many shows over all - scores and scores). The new music is almost universally acclaimed as their best work in a couple of decades. The shows this year were awesome, well-attended, and impeccably-played.
Cymbop - as a Phishhead myself, I appreciate both their sound and Kuroda's lights - but more their sound - which almost never seems muddy unless you're stuck in a bad spot at a summer shed.
Tosta - Phish isn't "steeped in the music of the Dead". I've followed both bands for years (the Dead up until '95, and then onward with The Other Ones and Further) and the two sounds are inexorably different.
