lotsa people worked on the wiki.  It went through 3 iterations.  We had a LOAD of stuff entered when we initially started it in 2002 maybe and the server crashed and we lost it.  We tried again in 2005 maybe with diff wiki software but decided to go back to mediawiki, and did this one that you currently see.  There was a lot of initial data entry.  I did quite a bit myself and I know lately drvinestein has been THE man.  But neither of us can take all the credit.  Plenty of people made additions and were in on discussions of song title conventions etc.  I believe you can see the people who worked on the pages by looking at the history.  We should really thank tet for his continued support for the site.

I really wish we could stir up more interest.  It seems too big of a job when only a few people are into it at once.

Seeing that Wikis are a collaboration, I/We had hoped that there would be more outside contributors as the pages were made and people used it, but data entry is hard to get people motivated about, and I'm not sure if it really gets updated much at this time.  I admittedly haven't done anything in a long time.

Gumbo, I couldn't focus to read that entire post, but the parts I did skim I would tend to agree with, folks gotta be patient.  They'll get there, the dedication is obvious, but they're not gonna just bust out with a jam like the 12/31/95 Weekapaug, or even the 7/30/03 Scents right out of the gate, they have to develop that a little after almost five years.  

I'd say these shows show that the potential is there for a very good Phish, but it's going to be a building type thing again.  

And yeah Fish does seem a bit behind and Page is ruling.  Mike isn't stepping up either, but I can kind of understand that since maybe he wants to give the other guys a chance before he starts pwning jams again.  

yeah, EXACTLY.  People who aren't at the shows are erroneously projecting the characteristics of whatever Phish they've been listening to lately onto 3.0, so OF COURSE they aren't going to measure up.  Its human nature though...  they haven't given themselves any room to create a new perspective on the band.  Their memories and past experiences are clouding their judgement.

The thing is, though, is that these jams are the PERFECT length.  Except Halley's and Gumbo.  That was pretty lame...  but regardless...  they're all perfect length.  GBOTT felt like it was going on FOREVER.  and to realize that Wolfmans was only fucking 8 minutes...  that was weird.  


I'm listening to Fluffhead now, and they pretty fucking nailed it.

I think Curtain>Tweeprise encore is a pretty safe call.

not sure how tweeprise is 'safe' when tweezer was played friday night... but i hope you're right!

Split from last night was pretty evil.  Heavy Things worked well in that slot.

[Wolfmansbrother]

YEAH man when i saw that today i was shocked that jam was FUNKY as shit, in fact i dug the entire second set you are spot on about the length being right especially for the situation surrounding these shows
