smoothatonalsnd This is a gorgeous and highly personal account written with a lot of love. Thanks Charlie. If there is any compliment that means something, it's that your essay here has convinced me that it's finally time to revisit Coventry and listen to those shows, something that I have not done ever done in the past 10 years.

I always remembered the Split Open and Melt jam as one of the most transcendent experiences I've had with this band, in part because in my setlist book I wrote "Split Open and Melt-> End of Phish Jam-> Ghost." That jam really did feel like the encapsulation of the end of Phish: it was gigantic and otherworldly and scary and beautiful and it felt like time suspended and it was terrifyingly sublime. That's a moment I'll never forget.
