By the way, I LOVE SHOW OF LIFE!! There.....now that I've lost all credibility with you, let me add that I think it's an awesome encore song. (I'm quite sick of Loving Cup). Then again, I like Bug as an encore, too, so you get my drift.
I mean, what IS YOUR PROBLEM, really? Are you afraid of drifting into the mist?

I love Bug. I also love Coil, and Guyute, and Velvet Sea, and Alaska, and a bunch of other songs that catch flack in my peer group. I'm an unabashed appreciator of Phish music and Phish songs. I just do not like Show of Life. It makes me cringe. The response is involuntary. But it's really not that big a deal.
