Coventry was the end of Phish for me.

A little history, been to 20-25 shows, all 93-2003. Seen them in every form imaginable, from gymnasiums to air force bases, in all seasons, with all types. I was not as hard core as some, but more dedicated than most. I've had gravy fries at nectars in Burlington, served by the man himself.

I didn't go. I had been to Oswego and the 6+ hour wait to get in was about the longest I ever wanted to sit in traffic for the rest of my life, so I stayed home. I listened to some of it over the net, but what I heard was so bad it was just depressing. I was truly mad at the band - mad for shutting it down, for going out on such a low note, for forcing me to find other things to do. I needed to grow up a little.
