The great thing about being a deadhead even now is that there is so much material to listen to. They still put out a few shows a year and you can go back and find new things in each one. Granted they were not great every night or all the way through one show but when they were on it is always enjoyable. I do not find many new bands that I think can play very well live. Too often the best they can manage is to replicate the record. I too could not find my way into Phish however I think the Allmans, Gov't Mule and Derek Trucks are good bands that will carry on the tradition of playing and improvising. More of my time spent listening to music is devoted to jazz for that reason.
