Umm, as a student of architecture/planning and landscape architecture, I can safely say that you have had more input on any development of amphitheaters than Live Nation (although I hate them) in the past decade or so. The "cookie cutter" venues have been the same for the past 25 years and I would venture to say that Phish really hasn't played many new venues in the 2.0 and 3.0 eras. Yes, the venues changed names (which companies pay to have the naming rights) but the venues themselves have remained nearly constant. To make a ridiculous statement like that is just ignorant.
