I'm willing to call Phish one of the all-time great LIVE bands. Their studio output is more pedestrian, but then again that's not what that band is all about. DMB, for me, is the ultimate example of a band being much less than the sum of its parts. The individual musicians are amazingly talented, but the band as a whole just doesn't work for me, except for a couple of the hits as catchy pop songs. When they try to do the improvisational thing live, Phish blows them off the planet.
