Unless it's a close friend, family member or someone I respect, I generally have little or no interest in other people's opinions so I stopped reading reviews long ago. It's done wonders for my outlook and state of mind. As it relates to Phish, it allows me to attend a show without any preconceived notions of what I might expect to see. I'm able to go with a clear mind...a blank slate you might say. I try to live life without expectations of others, including Phish.
