Beautiful review! I was not able to attend any shows in the flesh this summer, and this show was the only one that I was able to watch live via the webcast. After following all the reviews from this tour I honestly wasn't sure if I wanted to take the risk and purchase this webcast. But I am a big fan of that Amphitheater down in Chula Vista and thought it would be neat to get to see it again, even if only through my computer screen...I was blessed to be able to attend the shows down there in 2000 and 2003, and will never forget the monster Disease and Hood jams from '03....
I certainly feel very grateful that I chose to tune in last night. The entire show was completely enthralling from start to finish, and it seemed like every moment it just kept getting better and better. I was so into the webcast that I actually felt at times like I was truly there at the venue. I imagine that even the jaded vets were surprised by last night.
One question though, for those who have been tuning into the webcasts more regularly this summer....have those amazingly cool and trippy visual effects (the ones during Piper) been going on during all the webcasts this tour? Or was that unique to Chula Vista? I've never seen anything like that during a Phish webcast...it definitely enhanced an already awesome concert experience.
