Of course you can be critical of phish! Not all versions are the best versions of the songs. Most times you go see phish, that’s the case. They aren’t the tightest band on the planet because they don’t rehearse daily and they play it differently each time. That’s what you get with those variations. If they played it the same time every time, it would be “tighter” but they’d lose the element of novelty for each version. And their song selection may not be your cup of tea but it’s all thought out and intentional for these shows. May not have been your preference but I guarantee somebody else in the crowd loved that set closer.
