Wow--I am surprised by this. A lot. Lots of people are fine with Show reviews written by people listening to the tape...I would prefer show reviews written by people who were there.

A lot.

In fact, I am of the opinion that was the roll of the critic--to actually experience as much of what they were writing about as possible.

I think Critics actually need to attend the Show to write a review of the Show--and I would like Phish.net reviews to be about the Show.
