babble2thenag ...so i can't believe i'm gonna qualify myself for a comments section but here goes...i got into phish in middle school in 98 and have been seeing them since 99...tape/cd trading and phish was a huge love and part of my life through middle and high (the trading dwindled after collecting around 250 shows and when phish started making all shows available to buy) and through college...and i used to review shows up until 2000 when as a 15yrold i was absolutely villified for my excitement about a mule duel (which at that point i did not realize was a thing - unfortunately i had only collected about 50 shows up till then and seen prob 7 or 8 and was not well versed in soam - so not knowing a vida blue song history does not mean you and your review should burn in the hottest part of hell...and it was a positive review of that song!)...among other hate-filled diatribes, i was also invited to quit phish - so i think it's priceless this reviewer pointed that out...when i was younger i absolutely adored phish, and am still fond of them today...but this never do wrong bs was never a part of my experience...to me an honest sharing of the good and bad was how i connected with phish and the community and learned and grew...while the music has changed significantly, the amount of fans spewing HATRED at someone for not "loving phish enough" has not...i read your review and heard the voice of someone who very much enjoys phish and knows how to have a good time...i was at tahoe this summer and watched 3rd night of gorge and the san fran webcast...and if any of those shows were like this one then i'm sure your review is spot on...but more importantly it's honest...and to those haters who hope you are doing ok in life and find your way again, i invite them to take a step outside their own assholes, and venture a look at the world from more than one perspective...or just go mutter to a farmer in a truck
