I don't comment alot on here. I usually just read and enjoy some of the more seasoned and articulate contributors takes on a show or a topic. But I am interested in their (or anyones) take on some comments I read LivePhish for this show. I'll start by saying I am not a noob IMO nor a vet by any means. Been listening to Phish for 11 years and almost to 30 shows. I am not a musician and do not have the musical prowess to have an intelligent conversation like Albany and Facts had above. And I cant say I've listened to a TON of Phish from the 90's. Listened to the essentials and a few randoms during the break-up which got me really into Phish and yearning to see them live. So take my naivety on an in-depth convo about Phish into consideration.

But there were a few guys on that board that were using the word EPIC to troll or rile up the crowd and I think it worked. They described this show as EPIC. I hate that word and think its lame and reserved for 15 year olds. I was at this show though and I thought it was spectacular. Some of the most fun I've had at a concert, let alone Phish. I thought it held up with any 3.0 show out there for the most part and I've listened to most of 3.0 shows at least once.

But when the idea that this show would ever even compare to any show in the 90's that is revered was brought up on that thread (whether it was in jest or an honest opinion), there were one or two guys that scoffed at the notion and basically started questioning whomever felt that way's intelligence or devotion to Phish. Now, Im not here to compare this show to any other shows, esp the 90's b/c I am an intermediate of that time in Phish but I listen to a new show almost every week from that time so I'm learning. But the fact that these guys made it a point to express that they were THERE in the 90's at these famous shows and that this (or any 3.0 show) doesn't "hold a candle" or "belong in the same breath" as sed 90's legendary shows just seems snobbish, pretentious, high and mighty and any other synonym you can find for these jaded clowns.

I get it....you were "there" bro. But do you want us Noobs to kneel down and kiss your feet or something? The idea that the anything nowadays pales in comparison to that era (true or untrue) and we should be castrated for even thinking that way seems disrespectful to the band and counterproductive to what Albany and Facts are trying to accomplish above. I would love some other input on the subject from noobs and vets. Its something thats been on my mind for years now.

Cheers!
