Great job! I love the perspectives you mention because sometimes we forget to try to see where others are coming from. The beauty of Phish and this community is that there are many sides, many perspectives. Out of the 46 shows that I've seen since August 20, 1993, I will say that 37 of them have been "the best show I've ever seen" (that makes me laugh and is true)! That is the gift that Phish gives. The exploration of the indescribable! The feeling that I just saw the most amazing "thing/show" ever!

I'm not one to go into a show hoping to hear specific songs as it occurred to me sitting in Red Rocks in June of 1994 that it's not what they play, its the way they play it! Since that realization its been easy to tap into that deep pool live experience that I seek, that I think we all seek and accept the experience.

Anyways this is my first post (been lurking for over 20 years) and I just wanted to say I love what all the fans bring to the table here. I also believe that a fan is a fan, no matter when the first experience occurred. There's plenty of Phish at the table for all of us.

Great review, I know this one was tough draw after the past weekend!

See you all in Denver (yes I'm still floating form MPP and I hope you are too).
