Finally turned on the stream during Ice. I must admit, it was exciting from the first lick I heard. I was at the Gorge recently and had an amazing time, particularly set 2 opening night. Watching the webcast of Tahoe was really fun, however I wished that the cameras would have favored the lights. Every time we got the Kuroda angle I was in heaven.

I know it is fun to talk about shows and compare them, but if you're not there, it really does pose a problem. You can't smell the air. In all seriousness, this can really effect your experience.

I thought the second set (and the bit of the first I did see) was awesome. One can NEVER expect to hear the Phish of yesteryear again (pre-hiatus)...so if you're looking for that kind of glory, you may as well give up. Phish is so different now. They are OLDER. The lights are BETTER. To hear Phish play in your living room in 1997 would have no doubt been a perhaps more satisfying experience than today. But going to a Phish show has really never been better.

....and about Show of Life. I really like this song. What more could Phish sing about at this point? What a nice and funny sentiment to sing about being thankful. I think it is a quirky and interesting tune...not the greatest song ever...of course.

Really, the only thing this show was missing for me was Jennifer Dances. That is my 2 cents. I love Phish and the Phish community. Keep rocking.

...oh, and Guyute....was awesome. Really, you could see fish was happy as hell at the end of it. fun. great ya mar.
