I vote 3.1 
3.1 was right after fluffhead at hampton
Fall 2010 is still my favorite tour since the return
I would have agreed with you until this summer. No question its gotta be '12
I have never had as much fun at a show than I’ve had these past few months and just hope it carries over to next year
I think summer 2012 beats that fall tour, but there is something that happens with fall Phish that is special. Charleston were great shows, as well as Cincy. I think they straight up play differently inside. I’m jonesing for some indoor Phish right now though.
i want t&m in fall but i so know that is bad for trey and prolly musnt happen
i have done every vegas show except 2004 when it was entirely appropriate to have missed it
now i miss vegas phish (with moe afterparties)
3 night run at t&m with an intelligent promoter booking the joint for the after party, like particle one night, galactic the next, moe to cap it. since there will be no 10/31 and labor day is as close as a festi as we got and msg all but confirmed… this fall leaves a mighty wide open shot to bring trey and his sponser to vegas!
I always thought 1.0 was the Holdsworth days.
There was a lot of good “Post hiatus Phish” (or as it is now being called 2.0.) Roundroom, which is my favorite Phish album, was 2.0. Pebbles and Marbles, Seven Below, Waves, Roundroom are all songs that I have on my wishlist for every show I see. I will take a spaced out, albeit sloppy, 2.0 jam over the 3.0 (or 4.0 
) micro jam 9 times out of 10*.
*Rock & Roll from Long Beach ruled my face
Set 1 at dicks is hands down proving the band is “back” “new” and “inventive”…
Wish we could have all been there 
you know, i liked round room ALOT. i listened to undermind like once and they called it a day, and i never listened to it again.
round room tho, that is a great album. i always was a necter person myself, but round room REALLY grew on me. so i agree, 2.0 started with good intentions…
so
if you went to colorado, you got…
a meatstick after they grind and spend all night fucking your face at dicks
this is whole new level of musical maturity
this is like phish 6.9 now
While I dont know what number should represent this part of Phish, I do know that they are playing on a completely different level than any time in the past 3 years. I’m not going to argue that they are better than 2.0 or 1.0, but what I do know is that they are having a blast playing together and we the fans are the beneficiaries of it all.
Every tour there are people who always complain, no matter what the band does. They complain about OKC, so the band comes out and essentially Fucks Our Faces at Dicks Night one, and people still try to compare it to 1.0 and how it was lacking. Give me a break. Bands and people change over time. Every band has done so. I’m just glad that even though the band has “evolved”, its been in an amazing direction. Phish has been together for 30 years and if they played the same songs, the same ways that they did back in '83-'00, people would complain that they sound the exact same.
Personally I love where the band is at. They are doing what THEY want to do and having fun with it. So they don’t wanna play a 5 song set, who cares. They proved they can still do it at Dicks 1, so to the people who say they’ve lost something, maybe you’ve lost your minds instead. This isn’t directed at anyone on this board at all. It is more towards .net and pt’ers than anything.
I’m looking so forward to NYE this year and '13, cannot wait to see what the band has instore with the new album and face melting 30 year ann. People will still complain, but let them. I just hope those people stay where they are and don’t come to the 'pa to infect us with their negativity 
did they play cincy in fall 2010? I’m gonna have to go back and check…I can’t believe that I would have missed that
edit: yeah, think you’ve got it confused with '09…which is easy to do, cause those shows were some pumping shows for '09
All i have to say about this thread is that all around Phish is putting on a show as a whole just as well as they did in 96-00. Of course there are exceptions but the ratio of good/bad per show is about the same as it was back then, in my opinion at least. Of course they don’t do it like they did then, but i think the quality of the music is just about on par for those days
Well played!
I’ve enjoyed all the shows I’ve seen since 2009. Let’s keep it at 3.0 and enjoy all the band has had to offer since they have returned.
I had such an awesome 3 nights @ Dicks this year . It was great. Colorado has been good for me… and bad at points, but labor day wknd was the bomb dizzle dangle. Not as much phan bonding as I usually strive for but musically it was high as I wanted/needed to go. So call it 4.0, 2.0, or whatever decibel you dig, it was simply SWEET for me!
Pushing the software metaphor a little further, leg 2 of summer 2012 was like finally getting the anticipated update to your operating system that makes it better. So it’s
Phish 3.0 Professional
Service pack 1
Summer 2012
Wow, that’s geeky 
But I don’t think that it’s 4.0.
