Fun show!

b00m, haterz!

Haven't seen any hate for this show in here or the LST.


/just sayin'

I hate this show because I missed it.  :roll:

[Undermind]

18 minute Tweezer has got me really pumped to Listen.

I loved it during the stream, can't wait to re-listen!

same here.  Page was nasty during this too.

Very much approved of the show, as well as the quality of the stream, totally worth it imo, also liked watching it before the show started when people were filling the place up. I'm a fan of the bathtub gin, tweezer, antelope, and I'm glad they played some Little Feat again!

[Hicks]

Ha me and Caravan estimated that Tweezer at about 12 minutes, probably because we were eating during the beginning though. . .  most definitely the show highlight.

I hate to burst bubbles but Trey botched the ascending riff in Theme as usual.

Fluffhead was about 99% nailed though.

we ran into Thatfargone on the streets of Manhattan post-show last night and he was already hatin' like a hater-McHates-a-lot.

You rang?

Seriously I was not too fond of this show.  Not because it was bad, but because it was the night I finally got 3.0

Phish played.

I had fun.

FUCK! is that all there is left??? :cry:

^^^Not sure what you expect.  How many shows have you seen this year?  You'd think you would have figured it out by now.

At this point, way more than most of you guys.  :|


Sorry I don't fluff everything.  What are you and Red rolling your eyes at exactly?

Amazing show!!  Pics to come (had SICKEST seats I've had in a loooooong time), but unfortunately none of my brief run-in with JustJezmund - great to see you!! #1fail=

I won't fluff this show - it was good, not great.

Phish is a good band, they play good shows, but let's not pour unnecessary praise on a show that had a few highlights and a lot of average stuff.

[danje]

I really liked this show. The Maze peaked really hard. The Tweezer went deep finally, but you tell Trey was having trouble keeping up. Light was terrible - hurt my ears. Great fucking encore.

Truth. 

[mattstick]

Antelope was terrible.  Trey going through the motions, I don't think he nailed one section.

Page just destroyed 2001.

This is mostly true, but I would add that PHISH IS PLAYING SHOWS. Although they may not be what everyone deems the best shows ever, some people may in fact feel that they are getting there again, and that's okay too! I think we miss the fact that people who attended (or heard a great stream) might fluff a little bit more because it's so fresh. I mean I know we talk about the bias of the "I was at that show" mentality, but I think it's hard for anyone to listen critically until ALL of that fluff is out of your mind. Being completely honest: at this specific moment, I am completely enthralled by the Hood and Stash from 12.28. Will this change? Probably, but for now I'm glad I can find happiness with where this band is. Again, I'm pretty much agreeing with you Matt, but trying to perceive from all angles as well. /end soapbox
