I love the long improvisational excursions as much as anyone but the fact that some of you actually believe that THAT's what makes or breaks a show/festival is utterly laughable

Agree with this. A song can be great without being played for 20 minutes. And not every 20 min song is a great jam.

For sure. Lest you slide down a very slippery slope (Panic comes to mind).

I've noticed in 3.0 that more and more spot reviews of shows emphasize on the time length of tunes from the show (i.e. "The second set featured a 20+ minute Gin " . It didn't used to be that way, and I find it a jarring development

Right on. Still waiting for someone to boast about a twenty-five minute Disease, though. haha
