I have listened to 7-8 shows in July, and this is one thing that has stuck out to me. They definitely take more chances and try to provide good, quality, unique jams every night. Yes some are better than others, but they are the standard for improving. However, they seem to play many of the same songs over and over (I realize I haven't heard many shows). I give Phish the edge on "jams", but WSP has an array of different songs. They continually bring back songs from way back and hardly ever play the same songs (except for a few regulars).

My question is, does more unique jamming trump a wider song range?

*Disclaimer* I'm 2 bottles of wine in.

That's why I like DMB, they have both.

Both are in my "favorite" bands group, each for their own reasons. It is possible.

Ive literally only fallen asleep at 2 shows in my life, both were wsp shows.

I havent seen phish in 15 years, so im not taking sides here. If im gonna listen to an improve band, i prefer to listen to mmw or some jazz these days.

Phish is background music for when Charlie Brown is paddling down the river.

I love Herring but a lot of the jams sound alike and he plays a lot like he's getting paid by the note.
