Nice write-up. Can't wait for my first show in my home country...have only ever "followed the lines going south" as krs10 says, to NY State, although we caught GRAB in Toronto in '06. The one that got away that bother's me most is the one in my own backyard, Ottawa in '94...I just hadn't caught on to them at that point. The '99 & '00 Toronto shows I had to miss because we always attended the Ottawa Blues Fest with a gang of friends, and nobody'd follow my recommendations to go to Toronto for a band they'd only ever heard me talk about, (actually that continues to be a problem, lol). Anyways, after 3 nights of SPAC we're bringing our young girls (14 & 10) to their first Phish shows, and now I'm almost more excited for this one than SPAC, which I love. Thanks again, you've helped get me even more pumped for this with this piece.
