    I know there's more people on a PJ site that would rather hear Bugs than another Alive or Evenflow, but you have to think of the casual fan.  If you were a casual fan who went to a $200 Rolling Stones concert, and they didn't play Start Me Up, Jumpin Jack Flash or Satisfaction because they played 'em last night.....and instead wanted to play some deeper blues cuts from "A Bigger Bang"....you'd be pretty upset.....no?
    I posted 20 pretty big PJ songs above.  Would the casual fan not be happy with 10 of these in a night?  Im not saying replace Alive with Bugs.  But I do think it would be pretty awesome with their extensive catalogue to see no repeats in a two night stand with 10 of their "staples" in each of the nights.  I think many of fans would love to hear "Smile" one night instead of "Even Flow" and "Betterman" both nights.  

    Either way they dont repeat much as it is and Ive never left a show disappointed so obviously what they do now is fantastic.  Just think it would be pretty awesome to hear around 70 different PJ songs in two nights!

    You could replace Bugs with Alive and I would be totally fine with it but I'm in the minority, lol.

    I was getting bored of Porch and the light balls in 16 though.

    I'm going to love whatever they play.. but I have a few songs on my bucket list yet that I would love to hear. So let's make this happen. Happy to assist the band crafting the setlist if they want to reach out to me.

    I would really like to hear more songs written after 1998

    Maybe just a few repeats.
    I don't mind repeats like GTF, DTE, Corduroy since the crowd is crazy during them ... but i would like to see them cut back on the 'standard' covers like RITFW.  I'd also like to see less predictability in the placement of songs like Alive, Black, Release, etc.  Newcastle 2006 is one of my all-time favorite bootlegs and a high point is the Alive opener ... a song i never get amped up for when i see it coming in its inevitable spot mid-2nd encore.

    And it's a lot easier for Phish not to repeat songs when an entire set consists of:

    Garbage Song, Longer Garbage Song, 20 Minute Garbage Song on trampolines, Shorter Garbage Song with midtempo bass solo, Tweezer, Intermission

    Good post!  I'd love to see Animal or DTE as an opener and kill it for the first set and make us, the crowd, exhausted!

    The Phish fans would disagree with your take, lol!
