This is possibly the worst review I have ever read.

Hey Dr. Smarty, you see too many shows. Since when is a well-executed setlist full of energy and musicianship average and boring?

Take a step back and listen. Sorry you have seen too many shows to the point where Phish is boring to you now unless they are rocketing you through the stratosphere.

Lame.

I do not see too many shows...I've only seen 97 shows in 23 years. A little over four per year average. Admittedly I have listened to a lot more shows during that same time period...that's kind of like...my job here at the phish.net site. It offers me the perspective to give a fairly reasonable assessment of a given performance. I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings when I say something was average great. I have never been bored by a moment of Phish. I have one of the most "all Hood" attitudes you would find in the backwoods and alleys of the phish.net netherworld. The band is playing great together. They are inspired and focused. There have been some incredible moments in every show...even the three that are just average great (Austin, Bend 1, and KC) still give me a reason to go to more shows and listen to all of them. As always, I ask that those of you who don't like my recaps, to PLEASE submit a review for the show. The point of these recaps is to invite discussion. The best way to let your feelings be heard is to post your own review. Telling me my take sucks without providing more than a simple "that show was killer you are lame" is the cowards way out. Lay it on the line...tell us how much you love each song and why. I promise I won't come drop a deuce on your metaphorical chest. Your opinion is just as valid as mine.

If you would prefer I lie to you...tell me what you want me to whisper in your ear as we spoon on the grass with our shirts off at Magnaball during "Brian and Robert" or maybe to bring it full circle "Let Me Lie"...what do you say?
