70+50=120

After 24 Years of Phishing across the Country, I feel beyond the Words to express how I feel but I'll try.

Typically, this is not the case but when it comes to this Band, the Phriends I've made, the Experiences I've had, and probably Most Importantly the Person that being part of this Community has made Me, I'm just Overwhelmed with Positive emotions.

Without the 70 Days/Nights that I've spent with All of Y'all over nearly 2.5 Decades, I'd certainly NOT be Who, What, or Where I currently am.

Just like a Partner that cares deeply, or like a Friend that can be trusted, Phish and Our Community has consistently been the North Star in My Adult Life.

Since 7/8/2001, on the Lawn at Alpine Valley, I've been Hooked on these Experiences that are Musical Journeys to places beyond the Realm of Normality. If I'm Up, Down, or Upside Down, Phish Concerts have corrected Me and My Path..

But in addition to that, I've met some of the VERY BEST People that exist. These Relationships I'm so fortunate to have exist because of the Music but also because of the Amazingness and Acceptance of those that Phish.

To sum it up, MondeGreen was a Bucket List item personally. But from the Details, to the Music, to the Phriends Old and New, to the Shenanigans that were had, Everything WAS Right!

I don't see any sense in searching for Negativity or complaining about the Festival because the Whole Point if You know and have Read the Book..

Is.

To.

Surrender to the Flow. See Y'all Down the Road..

I respectfully disagree. The intent of the review wasn't to be negative. In fact, I made significant revisions Monday to soften the negative parts of the review. Phish fans have always told it like it is. If you have an issue, speak your mind. If every show is the best show ever, and every festival is sunshine and rainbows, then the really great stuff just doesn't seem as great. I believe it is why the band and its fans have such a great relationship. I hope that many of the constructive feedback given by this review and many others who have posted on the dot net forum, PT, and other social media outlets gets back to the band's people; because if it does, I know improvements will be made. I'm very glad that you had an amazing experience. So did I. I just was disappointed by some of the approaches taken by AEG, as well as the way the festival ended Sunday. I had to call it like I saw it.

Thanks for the comment!
