Been seeing the Boys now for 21 years. Over a hundred shows later and the I've-been-here-longer-and-therefore-i-know-true-phish attitude perpetuates itself anew with each new wave of phans. I'm not sure where this comes from, but it seems to be a sentiment that is growing in all sectors of American life.

I find much of the talk reductionist and uninformed (perhaps as a result of being over overinformed?) Are we just happy the band segued in and out of Tweezer a la the glory days or is the show THAT GOOD? Granted, in this day and age even a nominal nod to the mid-'90's is welcome, but I fail to see a watershed trend whereby the band has turned a true corner. Truth is, much of the new material is a joke, the whale call needs to be shitcanned stat, and the band needs to practice lest their tours be seen as cash grabs.

Let's not over bill things. A great show for 3.0? Yes! A turning point? No. Several shows this tour have been downright uninspired. Check back in when we get 5 of these a tour.

One man's opinion.
