People will call just about any streamer a bugger even if it doesn't include any hackle (which I think is the defining characteristic of a 'bugger' fly compared to other streamers)... but if they make one material swap or color change to a nymph or dry fly they've gotta give it a new name.
I can tell a lot of the stuff he's doing with the virtual rig at Sphere wouldn't be possible in real life, but I've gotta think he's gonna pull some inspiration from the new patterns/movements he's messing with, and its giving him a chance to try out ideas live in front of an audience without actually needing to build a physical rig. I'm speculating that we might see some drastic changes to the setup.
He does a really great job of direct A vs B testing between different components, and I feel like I have a better understanding of what is and isn't important when considering the difference between two amps. Obviously, the simple "how does it sound when I dial it how I like?" is the most important thing... but it definitely helped me understand which components don't matter or have a very small impact when compared to other aspects of amp design.
Highlight of the show, both musically and visually, was Evolve *Everything's Right and Disease. It seemed like someone programmed him a virtual mega light rig he could control in real time and use the Sphere to play WITH the band. After that segment the rest of the visuals just left me wanting... It felt like the loosest, most natural playing from the band, it felt like they weren't constrained by the visuals but rather the visuals were a true part of the performance. It felt like Phish using the Sphere, not the Sphere using Phish.
