I think Trey's message is this...
If you make fun of a n00b for digging on !st set Divided Skys, if you role your eyes when the second Mike's jam doesn't happen, if you're looking for the "note perfect" concert(which has never happened), if you're in it just for the jam...you're not getting the message.

Great article.

Wingsuit FTW!!

Truck set FTW!!

Phish FTW!!!!!!

Happy New Year!!!!!!

thank you! I love this comment.

I am no expert about the background of Icculus and when I heard it while in attendance at dicks 2013, I was completely puzzled as to why my friends were going crazy as it started. I didn't understand the airplane in the sky with the message either. ( I thought the airplane was sponsored by a local church or something ) I had never heard the Icculus song before. and I enjoyed the entire experience completely.

as I enjoyed the second set at msg from the floor just below the truck and heard trey shout out about some of you people are.... not getting the f***ing message! I heard it as, some of you are missing the moment, the now. my interpretation is... some of you need to f***ing enjoy what is happening here and the band is here to make it so. you and your friends do this - be happy. we are all at a big party and not at work. this band phish is here to facilitate your auditory and visual enjoyment. and let what will be - be.

don't overthink it. don't compare notes, don't analyze things until the fragments are tattered. be present. be here now.

that is the message I heard in trey's voice on 12-31-2013, but I also felt I was not one of the people missing the message. and the two brothers dancing next to me, one of whom was enjoying his 26th birthday, I could tell they understood the message.

this recap @berteletdown message received - exactly describes the point.
cb is at the 12/29/2013 - in the moment. seeing how his daughter definitely gets it. she embodies the message because at 12 years old she has no expectations or ideas of how things should be at a phish show and her enjoyment of the experience is pure. and cb was locked in that moment with his daughter. he got it.

who is a critic to tell a 12 year old what music should be and not be when it comes to a live phish experience? get it? and if someone out there is miffed or angry because something in a live show did not happen as they think it should happen, they don't get the message.

it is so simple it is almost difficult to understand, so don't overthink it.

and again happy new year 2014!
