tarfu7 Great discussion here. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts.

I really enjoyed the weekend and thought each show had something great to offer. But I'm a little surprised that NONE of these reviews of N3 mentioned the very obvious issues that Fishman was having in the 2nd half of the 2nd set. I mean, he even mentioned it during Suzy - said he needed a flubologist (twice!). I think his mistakes were very evident, as they threw off the synchronization of the whole band - particularly in the segues, but also during several songs.

It was very strange for me to hear this, because Fishman is usually completely on point, driving each and every song like a machine (in fact, other than the 4th quarter of N3 he was probably the MVP of the weekend). By my ears, if anyone is sloppy at a show its usually Trey. So the Fishman flubs were very noticeable to me.

Just surprised that nobody mentioned this in any review I've seen. Especially since Fish himself acknowledged it during the show.

But I don't want to end my comment with negativity. This was but a minor blip in an absolutely awesome weekend, with 3 great shows attended by the best group of fans any band could ever ask for. My cup runneth over... see you kids on Fall Tour!
