08/12 - Outside Lands Festival - San Francisco, CA - Post-Show Discussion/Review

Give him a break, dudes. If he changed his tune now he'd look like a big pussy.

[DoW]

there's no need to hate.  I try not to but slip sometimes.
but there is also no need to fluff every show like it is great.

I actually get what Art is saying.  I don't agree 100% but I can see how he has that opinion.

as far as adjusting your expectations because it is 3.0.  tickets are $70 plus the costs of what comes with a show.  I stand by my view that if ti wasn;t for history (aka nostagia) not many would pay $70 to see thsi product.

[susep]

what Art is saying and I agree is that yes Phish is playing shows but they are not creating new music i.e. in their improvisation.   

[sunrisevt]

Yeah, that's what he's been saying for 2 1/2 years, pretty much. But what Art is doing is being a big wet blanket at every opportunity, and it's beyond tiresome. We get it--he's uber-h3tty, has unapologetically high standards, yada yada yada. Every post of his I've seen in the last year basically constitutes a dickish, derisive snort at someone else's good time. Yeah, I'm sure he's a great guy and I can't wait to meet him sometime.  :roll:

Oh pop.

He's really not posting that frequently.

Don't take it so personally when someone so adamantly disagrees with you.

Well, these days its about individual shots that count, not full tournaments.  :wink:

So is this really all we are ever going to discuss anymore around here....how much we think Phish is awesome or how much we think they are not awesome.  Then bitch about our good times being ruined by "HATE"  :|  Thats all that is going on here anymore.  For this entire tour its been

Poster 1:  Phish is SOOOOO awesome!!!!
Poster 2: Yeah they are  :rawk:
Poster 3: But they are not actually very good
Poster 1: Stop Hating!!!!
Poster 2: Yeah your ruining my good time
Poster 3: Still, they're not very good...stop acting like they are
Poster 4: Phish sucks
Poster 2: No they don't
Poster 3: Yes they do

I am very bored with this Band right now, mainly because of set lists and performances like this one.  There is nothing "wrong" with it...but really....jphishman, Cactus etc.....is this a show that would have gotten you to want to see them more if you were at Outside Lands hearing them for the first time ever?  How can we keep saying that a band that we love due to their creativity and experimentation being reduced to pure rock and roll is a good thing?
