A perfect show, period? Huh? Perfect relative to what?

Jones beach was a good run, but perfect? Like 12/30/03? 7/16/94? 11/16/96? 10/31/96? 11/2/98? 5/7/94? 7/8/94, I mean and so on...

To me these reviews sound like a 17 year old who cannot get laid. Your horny as hell, you want it so bad, but it's just not there. Every weekend that rolls around, you think about getting laid, you try, but it never happens; or least not as often as youd like and cant accept the truth. And you can't stand being honest for what it is: a great show, but not even close to being in the top tier of Phish shows all time and maybe in the top tier of Phish 3.0...

Outside of 4 or 5 unpredictable bust outs, the shows rocked like most of the Summer Tour. Worcester Carini > If I Could still wallops. And Bust outs are big! Good for the attendees and fans! Some good songs. But far from "perfect," in my opinion...

Call me a Jaded Vet if it makes you feel better. But I have hope for you. You'll get laid soon enough. The good news is Tour missed fortunes now, with patience and persistence, will be rewarded down the line. And, all the anticipation will make it feel jut that much more mind blowing when it happens!

You are not a jaded vet, not even close. Thank you for your thoughtful insight once again, highlighted by a failing analogy between losing one's virginity and seeing a show. Don't hope for me, don't even worry your pretty little head about me.
