Thank you for this review, Jeremy! In a way a show of the musical caliber of Bonnaroo makes those who listen to and see as much Phish as they can give serious (re)consideration about WHY they continue to care as much as they do.

And for me, with respect to Bonnaroo, which I sincerely believe is among the weakest Phish shows I have ever HEARD, it comes down to the Carini jam and the Shafty bustout. I love this band because even at "festival shows," they continue to at least do SOMETHING for everyone, even the vets who have heard every god damn circulating note of music they have ever performed. And they continue to IMPROVISE. We are extremely fortunate that Phish continues to play and I feel privileged to be among their fans.
