vtphanbowie1 As a Vermont native and Phish fan of twenty plus years I would like to comment for the first time on these reviews. Not one in particular but a little of many. I saw my first show about twenty years ago and was at the show last night. I have seen around 40 shows in those twenty years and consider Phish my favorite band and always turn to their tunes when I want to listen to good jamming music. I brought my wife who was attending her second show ever and finds my infatuation strange. (her first and only show was Coventry, which is where we now live) That being said I understand her confusion as those shows were less than memorable.... Anyway, ... Noobs... Couchtour... lot... wookies... headies... etc...... Its music people. I can remember great shows I saw, NYE runs in early to mid 90,s, Red Rocks Shows in CO, Nebraska 95 (check it) and so on. But it was always about going to see the band and listen to their music. To say last night was "predictable" or "basic" or compare it to anything else is silly. They can't turn it off or on. When you go to bed with your significant other do you say "tonight I am gonna give the best sex ever?" or do you do your best and see what happens? I thought the show was great. Not my top 5 but really solid and I will remember it forever. To say the "crowd" was lame is also silly. There were alot of 30 somethings like me who listened and enjoyed. There is a HUGE community of Phish staff and families that live here and they were all there. Everyone including the band had smiles on their faces all night and it was very special. It was a great cause and a special night. Next time your girlfriend tells her bff that you blew your load early last night and says it wasn't as good as Vegas 99 remind her it is not about one night or even one tour but about the whole relationship... Thanks T, P, M, and J. Well done. Hope to see you soon..
