Wow. Impressive article, Jeremy.

I like how you used this "type" of show to clearly explain why 2009-2012 had so many of us "nervously looking around the room" and what makes Fall '13/Summer '14 different.

It's swagger.

Phish has the talent. Always has, always will. But the confidence--to take chances, to laugh at themselves and us--that's what made 1.0 and 2.0 special to me.

In those days, Phish showed up to your town, smashed faces--and got joy from it: "Yeah, you've been to a concert before, but can you keep up with THIS?"

Like you said, I think that mind set is back. Buckle up, kids.
