Gorgeous recap of an underwhelming show. I think you captured the “a phish show is always a party” feel while being critical of the soundtrack for the party. A phish show is about the music, but it’s the one thing you really cannot control (okay well the weather) so you must consider the things that are in your control, who you go with, who you sit with, who you dance with, what you imbibe (if that’s your bag), etc…I felt the critic in you doing an expert job at being critical while highlighting an equally powerful positive!

Now on a more important subject I spent my youthful Sundays at Church (much more than 50% of the time) then the afternoon at Mama and Baba’s waiting for the sauce to simmer (f@&$ gravy) and too have traded a lot of that for the experiences seeing music with family and friends. Those experiences shaped us and, like this show, taught us how to see the silver lining in just about everything. But also not to just happily lap it up.
