I am quite calm and I am an old school fan, I've been seeing them since 1990. The point is that I think there is an epidemic problem with people equating honesty with negativity and I find it sickening.

Furthermore, I honestly found the music to be very average and feel that the bigger message was the fact that phish has changed so much that it really showed in playing a show like this. It's my opinion, I am completely entitled to it, and the more people try to call honesty "being a hater", the more people will stand up and voice their honest opinions louder and louder.

I hear what you're saying, but I think you're misinterpreting me.

If you click on my username you will see that I've contributed lots of recaps to this site. If you peruse a few of them, I think you will find that I consistently call them like I see them, and that I more often than not take a "0s and 1s" approach, in contrast with the meta take here. I mean, you can glean as much from the first paragraph of my recap. I specifically told you before I indulged that I was begging your indulgence.

I did it because it felt like the right approach. A different approach to describe a different sort of show. I had something inside of me I felt the community might appreciate more than my description of the 0s and 1s. By and large it seems like it worked for most people, but I certainly don't expect it to work for everyone, so I'm cool with your criticism.

[However, I will say that if you find yourself sickened with this recap, you may want to avoid PT.]

Cheers and have a great 2014.
