[Posting after Set II]

I don't see how the second set can be viewed as anything other than a let down. The Phish only gets so many chances to play back to back full-length "second" sets (even NYE, usually features relatively short sets). The festivals are pretty much where those happen, and they turned Set II into a "second first set" instead of a "first second set," and not a particularly inspired one at that. That said, redemption is always just around the corner with this band...

Honestly dude, to my eyes (since i'm obviously reading and not hearing what you're saying) it sounds like you didn't have a good time there... oh wait, YOU WERENT THERE! So don't say the second set couldn't be viewed as anything but a let down because you weren't there!! It wasn't the best of sets, but it definitely wasn't a let down. Seriously some of you older guys are so jaded you don't even notice it.... I hate to sound like a hater, but I'm not being one. I read alot of your post/reviews and this one I felt that I just had to voice my opinion.... btw, that it's ice kicked serious ass!! =)
