The_Optimistic_Vet I would also add some lack luster shows: 4/16/94. 1/04/02 Encore was depressing, given the snow outside on the east coast to get home. Most of Hampton Phish 2.0 stunk.

I would add this summer's Comcast Center show at Great Woods was subpar, 6/7/11. I thought the Llama was a good sign, but quickly went south. When will they blow the roof off Great Woods again?????? '09 Great Woods was the worst Phish show I have ever seen. They just have not put it on during Phish 3.0 at Great Woods.

Cumberland County Civic Center Dec 1999 was not even close to the huge expectations and super strong vibe. Great Gin, but....

I'd also point out NYE was lackluster in 2002. Terrible opener. NYE has been subpar for many years except Miami 2003, which was THE BOMB of a four show run, possibly even their BEST four show run EVER. I think they feel NYE has gone south, too, and will not do a run this year, as evidenced by the lackluster run last year at both the Centrum and MSG. They don't want to deal with NYE any more in Phish 3.0.

Gorge & Shoreline 1998 was also lackluster.

Charlotte 10/26/96 was also one of the few I saw down south that was so-so...non inspirational. Terrible arena though.

Coventry gets a pass in my books. For uniqueness, you can't say its gets any more unique than Coventry! Even if Trey couldn't play Glide....
