It's been a joy reading new waxbanks takes I must say, and he makes so many crucial points regarding this show; I would echo almost all of them. My only bones of contention would be 1) MEAP rules and 2) 20YL>Waste was the actual highlight of the show from where I was dancing on the lawn, although admittedly you did probably have to be there for this to make sense.

I guess I'm getting older along with the band. I don't think I'd ever laughed so much at a Phish show before this night and THAT'S saying something. But as high as emotions were, just being there, after nearly two years of missing this, and two nights of practicing being part of a huge crowd again, I had lost my capacity for scoffing. Even the sappiest moments were gut punches, in a good way. And I continue to relisten to this one *almost* as much as Friday.
