standingonthemoon You have it right, I do sound angry. I'm not offended, but when you(asshat @twmsiy) come at me telling me I have hit all of your pet peeves because of what I said, well then you have to expect some type of response like that. I'll admit, so far this leg has been different than fall 2010, but who was in AC for the Halloween run? There were plenty of flubs and miscues, but the main point is to have fun at a show. Having fun is what it is all about (for me anyway). I'm not going to sit in my mom's basement and critic every note and compare it to 1993, to what end does that serve? If you want to hear a bonafide terrible show, listen to Hampton from 2004. It was uncomfortable to watch. It was Garcia's birthday and started out great with a spacy chalkdust but completely devolved from there with an anything but me 2nd set opener. The big difference is that Trey was on copious amounts of drugs and the whole band was falling apart. These guys have kids now and family responsibilities that they are trying to juggle just like everyone else. They still have a good time going on tour, kinda like a guys road trip, but they don't practice hours and hours a day together anymore. They go on tour because they want to entertain us and I think we should be thankful for that. My whole point before this post completely blew up and everyone got hot with me is that, yes the heyday of Phish may have occured in the 90's but I'm so damn glad they still tour. I have friends (yes, it may be hard to believe but I do) who the only time I get to see them is traveling around to shows. For me its the whole experience of the road trip, the lot, spending time with friends, and at the end of all of that, we get to see one hell of a show whether there are miscues and flub or not.
