Outstanding recap that wasn't a recap.

Your synopsis was very well thought-out, even if was done so on the subconscious level. Absolutely agree with every single sentence. My first Dead show was in Providence some 35 years ago and I share some of your life story. Except my wife hates Phish. I still love her even though she has no taste.

I want to say that I'm greatly impressed by the band's decision to play nada covers for the run. Yes, I miss Crosseyed & Painless and Drowned and many others, but I didn't miss them these last four nights.

Also the second set of this show could be the most entertaining set of Phish I've ever experienced. The setting, the songs, the venue.....just amazing.

Even though I couched the whole thing and couldn't be there live it was a stunning, riveting, deeply emotional experience.

I hope to thank Mike in person when I go seem him this spring at Higher Ground.

Thanks again for a terrific write-up.

My wife hates Phish now too. Which is interesting because she's been to about 10 shows (none since Coventry)... it's a bummer but it does make it easier to find a babysitter when Phish comes to town!
