The music at Coventry was better than the Great Went?

Oswego was better musically than the Cilfford Ball?

Everybody has a right to their opinion, but you have to draw the line somewhere. Those are two of the most laughably incorrect opinions about Phish I have ever encountered.
While I disagree with the rankings that @cglushko has proposed, at least I can see where he is coming from. He likes big jams, and he can not lie. Also, I like the tiering system that he uses.
While I can understand leaving out the soundchecks...and possibly the Flatbed Truck Jam, the other "bonus" sets are integral parts of their respective festivals' musical experience. Can't justify excluding them in the ranking process.

I would shuffle the deck thusly: (within a given tier, it's basically splitting hairs)

Transcendent
1. Big Cypress

Epic
2. Great Went
3. Magnaball
4. Lemonwheel

Awesome
5. Clifford Ball
6. Superball
7. IT

Very Good
8. Oswego
9. Festival 8

Rough (with a handful of diamonds)
10. Coventry
