As Frank Pantengeli famously said, "I don't have your brain for...big deals." I don't have an intricate ranking system with well thought-out criteria, but having the Went ranked as low as it is seems harsh. After all, this was the festival for 1997, by many accounts the greatest year in Phishtory. I probably relisten to the Went more than any other festival, because the sound is crackling with the energy of that year. It was a time that any song could go insanely deep, even ones that never had before. Then there is the Gin, which I won't go into in depth, but which a recent poll had as tied for 3rd as best overall Phish jam ever.

So, yeah, I would have had the Went higher, and I do not in any way think that it was an overrated festival. I don't really object to any of the other rankings.

And, I know 4th sets and the like are not part of the criteria, but the disco set was pretty cool. MC Neon Celgap anyone?
