This was a real pain to read. Why such a negative lens? It's like you were looking for reasons to not enjoy Saturday night in the summer.
ARE YOU BEING SERIOUS?

You do realize you're being negative about what you perceive to be a negative review, and that you didn't bother to take the time to bless us with your positive, no doubt articulate and witty and magnificently insightful and original views of last night's glorious music, including its Sample Moma openers of course?

Look, I realize a small number of fans out there are crybabies and are so insecure about their own Phish opinions that they come to this site and read its blog posts and hope to have their own opinions about the music (be it of last night's show or a show 300 years ago) validated. But that's sad, and I don't have to like it. Because I don't.

I think every Phish fan should be as opinionated as possible and have whatever god damn opinions about the music they want to have, commensurate with their experience of Phish's music -- which is 99.9% likely to be PROFOUNDLY different from my own.

I would also much rather read an articulate and negative-on-the-whole review about a Phish show than shovel-through a bunch of flowery psychedelimalodorous bullshit describing in painstaking detail ad nauseum how, in essence, a particular jam made the reviewer's balls tingle.
