Who on Earth doesn't like the Went "Chalk Dust"? That's one of the most ludicrous things I've ever read on here, right up there with 2/20/93 II being the best set ever.

I think the interesting thing about this little piece is how it barely mentions the actual bad moments in Phishtory--Coventry, or Vegas '04, or some of the dull fall '99 performances, etc. I know, I know, it's very SUBJECTIVE, but mentioning flukes and miscues doesn't get to the heart of the matter: Phish's best and worst moments result from the risks they take as people and musicians.

I'm not ripping on the piece; it's a fun read, but none of the minor instances mentioned here come close to the truly BAD moments in Phishtory; they're all forgivable and generally humorous side notes compared to the deterioration of the band's instrumental abilities during 2003/04, or even the objectively sour vocals they've often pushed on us ever since 1997 or so.

None of this detracts from how amazing the band has re-become in 2011, however. Here's hoping "Friday" remains a laughable memory of how bad things USED to be.
