This tour has had my spider-senses tingling since April. I took a chance and arranged for AC and Portsmouth in leg 1 and the southern arc and Dick's in leg 2, based on 2011 and my intuition. The 5 East Coast shows I attended had me in a near panic to catch a couple more before the leg-break, so I drove overnight to Indiana for a couple of Deer Creek. I have not been this excited about live music since the early nineties and I intend to get my fill! Phish is not perfect in the way a Tom Petty or Roger Waters show might be (perfect readings of a predictable set list), thank the gods, but they take risks in a way that enriches all of us, despite the occasional clams or missed cues. The type I and type II stuff that results from these guys sticking their necks out puts a grin on my face- now I smile just thinking about August! This cannot last forever, grab it while you can!
