On a more serious note ...

The Dead use a completely different rhythm section than Phish. For the dead, the rhythm is anchored my the dual drums and Bobby's chords, this frees Phil, Jerry and (insert favorite keyboard player here) to explore simultaneous leads at the same time. When it works, it can be stunningly beautiful, when it doesn't, it sounds like wind chimes (or disorder). In Phish, the drums serve more as timekeeper, with Page & Mike anchoring the rhythm (order). Leaving only Trey to explore. Lately, I've really been enjoying Light, and the reason is that Page and Mike both relinquish the Rhythm and just head out exploring with Trey.
