Scott Phish has been back since 2009.
Joy is a great studio record, released 2009.
Some inconsistent first legs notwithstanding, the most telling comparison between 2010-2013 and all previous phish history was the relative lack of songwriting. This has been sublimated into all sorts of fretting about how well the band was playing and improvising.

I rather like the attempt to inject personality into the review but griping about a lack of type II jams in set I and blowing off Suzy Greenberg indicates to me that the reviewer is permanently jaded and maybe comparing each song played against the best version ever of said song, which is a recipe for disappointment and evidence of lack of perspective. Was this one of the best shows of the tour? No. Was this one of the best reviews of tour? No. But I enjoyed reading it and thank you for the effort.
