Can't you people just enjoy the shows without constantly picking apart every stinking moment on stage? So Trey flubbed "My Friend My Friend"....who the hell cares? Don't you think they've earned the occasional sloppy moment with the 30 years of tightness they've given us?

If you are one of these people that think every version of every song should be 20 minutes long, or that the band should play exactly like they did in 94, or that Trey laughing on stage means that he's laughing directly at you....STOP LISTENING! Go start a Phish cover band and learn to play these songs, then play them for 30 years...then try to play them with as much gusto as when you first learned them. Its impossible.

In the Bittersweet Motel movie, there's a really cool part where Trey asks Mike..."What'd you think about the show?" And Mike answers..."I think you played too many notes". Perhaps this was a glimpse into the future of Phish, as the band is WAY happier now than they were in years past. Maybe playing fewer notes was the right direction to go in.

I applaude Phish for having the guts to do what they want to do and to have fun doing it. It's made me a bigger fan of their music than I've ever been before.

A sloppy Phish show is usually still a moving experience. The band ALWAYS gets through it and manages to find a way to connect us with the music. You want to hear songs played exactly how you think they should be played? Go see Springsteen. And then tell me how good a time you had when he started forgetting words.
