Define "noodle". :/
I don't listen to Phish, but I like Treys playing. Sometimes I too think they get carried away. But you almost have to see Trey to understand him. His playing conveys so much REAL emotion it makes you think hes lost his mind or just taking too much acid.
Im not sure if your a musician or not. But most people I know who are soloing musicians an composers never think about wowing the audience/listener with technicle ability. There is always a reason a note is played. Its not as black and white as you think. It is straight up impossible for music to played or composed or improvised without any real emotion.
Thats why a lot of people think Jerry was probably the best rocj improvising guitarist. If you listened to alot of Jerry, You can actually tell what Jerry's thinking and what phsycological changes he went through from just listening to them. None of his playing was ever pointless. He also had the ability to be more focused and write classic songs like Box of Rain, Dire Wolf, and West L.A. Fadeaway with Robert Hunter.
The reason most songs today are only four-five minutes is because of the recording/radio industry. Before that a song that was less than 5-6 minutes wasn't even called a song, just a minature/minuet. Most Bands, no matter what genre, that I see always play longer versions of there songs. Just because they can.
