Haha, you guys can defend this junk all you want, but I still think it's a crappy review. It's not just that it's overly negative, it's also terribly written. Plus, you call yourself a fan with lines like this?

"After dealing with "Possum," "MOMA," "Limb," "Ocelot" etc. in the first set, the fans deserved a shift to more special territory."

Really I'm so sorry that Phish made you deal with songs that you consider lackluster (apparently including the second most played Phish song of all time), good thing you didn't waste your money to actually attend the show.

I'm not asking you to fluff every show that gets played, but writing a "recap" that's really just an explanation of how much better the show would be if you had your way is a waste of time and not worthy of phish.net.

I really think you either skimmed the review, or just are trying to be difficult. The author clearly describes the music on a number of occasions and provides thoughtful and creative commentary and allusions for those of us who either were not there or have not heard the show.

I really appreciate J D G's thoughts and how he was able to "vocalize" some thoughts I have had, particularly concerning Phish's song placement of late.
