I Wholly disagree -- this was an overwhelming positive review, with few personal opinion critiques thrown in. It is a critical review....and done honestly, if not a bit too mechanically.

Its seem you guys are the ones focusing on the Negative in his reviews -- and ignoring the overall positive tone of this review, and the many positive reviews form this summer so far.

And to start telling someone they have issues is just sad --- and quite hypocritical, given the tone of your judgmental and negativity laced rant.

The vast majority of this review was that the show was great! (and made me wish I was there -- and excited to go home and give it a listen). You just chose to pull out 1 or 2 negative lines and focus on them. Ironically -- exactly what you are complaining that the reviewer did with his review!!!

You say:
> > > "put some positive spin on them just a little..."

1st point in Review:

> > > ..."led some to wonder whether Phish might come back cold, and give back some of those hard-won gains --- Those fears were put to rest early and often"

That's pounds pretty damn positive to me!!!

> > > "A pristine and unpredictable “Curtain With” followed, suggesting a willingness to build energy patiently, and organically – and then gave way to the alleyway mugging of “Fuck Your Face.”"

Even when he complains, it was just that that Mike's was "too short..." --But he he ends the review with some clear excitement about Mikes-Groove form this tour!!!

How about -- next line ---

> > > "A rare and wonderfully plinko-inflected “McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters,” you say? Don’t mind if I do!"

That is negative????

You get the point.
