I get it, and this probably relates to the ongoing conversation of whether show reviews should be done by those just streaming at home. But when you yourself admit that it wasn't until you attended Magnaball that you got it, I think that stands as a huge testament to the fact that these experiences in the flesh both amplify and fully alter one's experience with the music. My three biggest takeaways from Lemonwheel, which at least emotionally and experientially felt like Went Part 2, are these:

1) I think early Saturday afternoon was the first time the disco bus played the VA Beach "Terrapin Station" and I remember that for about 50 yards in every direction, the entire lot became silent. It was a lot of people's first time hearing it, (myself included), and served as an emotional echo to one of the most transcendent moments in Phishtory.

2) I spent a good chunk of late night on Saturday doing laps around lot on my skateboard, with a head full of everything, and singing the chorus to Mighty Quinn over and over at the top of my lungs. I ran into Gordo on a golf cart at around 3:00 in the morning and told him they needed to bring Quinn back, and he replied "Oh yeah, it's been a while with that one." Three months later in the Mothership would be the first time I cried at a Phish show.

3) The Sabotage>2001 was an absolute rage fest. The entire field was going bonkers. Also the first time I remember being disappointed hearing WMGGW.

@Sporkfan, as we addressed pretty clearly, we cannot speak to the Lemonwheel experience with any sort of accuracy because we were not there. We can only speak to the music, since it is accessible to all fans. The music was the focus of this episode, attempting to explain why Lemonwheel isn't held in as high of regard as other Phish festivals. This type of analysis (listening, talking, speculating) is at the foundation of all Phish music discussion, and all music discussion in general.

Still , we genuinely encourage you (and anyone who attended) to tell us your experience while at Lemonwheel, so that a more complete perspective (beyond the music) can be given about Lemonwheel.
