excellent and balanced review with a noteworthy and respectful lecture to younger fans to maintain perspective.

I will only say that 53 is different than 23. One of these days the previous "Peak" will have been their last. It happens to everyone eventually, though I tend to agree with you that it's way premature to signal-flare the death of Phish.

There are definite signs, however, that Trey no longer relates to, or wants to carry the weight of the mantle. I suspect the band is starting to part ways in their creative process. And this is not a good thing.
