Montalbon It's always appreciated that someone takes the time to do a recap and so thanks go out to Farmhose. That said, if the focus is going to be on some kind of perceived "Canadian show" identity, why not have the recap written by a Canadian? Canadians are used to crossing the border to see shows (and Farmhose's experience crossing the border into Canada is, not surprisingly, basically the same as what Canadians experience crossing into the U.S.). I think most Canadian's would also wonder why a song's first performance in Canada is of any more importance or interest than its first performance in Detroit, Nashville, Prague or anywhere else. In my experience, the most unique thing about Phish's TORONTO shows (yes, in Canada, like in the U.S., we also refer to shows by city and venue... seeing that Phish has played in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Ottawa) is that they are always single shows and never part of a multi-show run. That makes them really hard to assess or compare against anything except single shows in other cities that Phish travels to rarely. But why compare anyway? We've all seen different shows and we all love different things about this band and its music and that's what makes it all so great.
