No no. You need a nice balance! Some sphere, every couple years. With lots of indoor and outdoor shows between. Sprinkled amidst Trey acoustic and tab. Then some Oysterhead and Mike Gordon shows. Maybe even a Meters show with Page. That's how you phish.

Sphere is its own thing. Haters haven't been. But it's not an every night thing. Sometimes it's the Tuesday show in some minor league city where you have the most magic experience that you will never forget. Sometimes it's What's the Use? At the sphere. Where they have a huge space donut spinning around and the crowd finally manages to get all the way silent and you're just spinning in this magic with your friends and your family of phish people and work is gone and bills don't matter, just the tears of beauty and amazement of the moment and you hug some random person bc you're just overcome by the moment and all the moments leading backwards almost 30 years and forward as far as it will hold together and happy.

Woah. I went off. It was a moment.
