I really liked that long as hell review you did Albany YEM and while it may have been a bit too surgical it was far far better than most of the recaps.
One day the good people at .Net say that it's objectivity that wins the race and the next day we get the most self serving subjective review possible.
I suppose it really doesn't matter though, the best pieces on Phish, the music and the experience, are found in the show reviews, usually later down the road.
