2009 In Review: Phish in the Age of 3.0 [Great Scott!]

Song choice played a much larger role for the group than it ever has, and the jamming, while still prevalent, became more concise.

The band is communicating in a new way while still using the same language, it just may take a more active listener to appreciate it.
