That being said, did anyone here think last night would come off any different than it did?

I am embarrassed to admit this, but yes, I thought last night's show would be much better than it was. It was a show in VERMONT, it was a BENEFIT, and it was a show that came relatively close on the heels of many excellent, well above-average shows. Last night's show was not as strong as I both hoped and expected. It was nevertheless enjoyable (I happen to love Phish), of course, but I confess that I thought "last night would come off [ ] different than it did."
