Thoroughly enjoyable recap of a wonderful year.

I heartily concur with most of your feelings, though I was not as high on the Dick's run as you (however I was not there in person).

Agree completely about MSG 2....that Disease> Carini was quite badass.

Thanks for giving some love to Bangor which I felt was greatly underrated by the phandom.
I thought the whole first set of that show (as well as the soundcheck which you highlighted) was great. Yes....average-great is a good synopsis of Bangor.

The Truck Set was perhaps the most moving experience of my phish phan career. I was in tears at times.
