I wouldn't put the playing on any night in 99 up against a top show from 97-98.

I would. And I definitely prefer a lot of '99 over '98. See PNC '99, Oswego, Nassau..... Funny, I really don't listen to Phish anymore being that my living situation is not conducive to blasting music, as well as a line of thinking that believed that I'd be best to take a break from listening to 1.0 so I could appreciate 3.0. But to jog my memory of why I like '99 so much, I went back to my .net show list and began checking out set lists.....ugh, good lord do I ever miss the good ol' days.   

As far as shows seen and my level of appreciation/obsession for Phish, 99 was where I peaked.
The fun I had that year at the 4 shows I saw are almost unparalleled with any other year that I caught them.

there is a lot of truth to this.  SF, you are a wise one.

Hate to beat the dead horse, but I'm still struggling to understand how you heard STAIRWAY in that sunrise.

i honestly think i enjoy listening to more 99 than anything else these days...which is a little weird, but i dunno just suits me. it can be hit or miss at times tho.
