I was thinking similar to deceased lavy (I think!) as I read this piece. Flubs and miscues are not really bad moments at all, especially when put in context with an otherwise solid show. For me, "BAD" moments in Phish history stem from seeing a zonked out Trey and disinterested band plod through a droning set to just go through the motions. There are few truly bad moments like this, but the aforementioned years of 2.0 probably have most of them, along with some 99-00 stuff and surely a handful of shows in the mid-90's. This is a silly and fun read, but I think these moments of technical difficulties and flubbed lyrics are being described in the wrong context here. I would say that Coventry is as worse a moment for Phish as all the silly weather and sound problems combined. This is the point of the "jaded vet". That term is bogus. Most of the people that get accused of being that are just coming from a place where we witnessed first-hand some tough shows leading up to the real hiatus and everything is not always rosy. Generally speaking, this bunch thinks 3.0 is stellar and loves to see the band healthy and happy from the bottom of our heart. This post would have a been a light and fun read if not for the opening condescending paragraph. Not only did it miss the point entirely, but failed to dig deep into the great history of our beloved band...true warts and all.
