I was a Phish nOOb in 2003, went to a few shows, thought 6/19/04 was incredible. I was sad when Phish announced that Coventry was The End, I was sad that I had missed out on the glory days of the 90's (1994 being my favorite).

I went to watch Coventry at a theater in San Diego and it was just sad. When Trey walked out and started the scratching and itching that Scott mentioned above, me and the people around me were all "Hahaha, Trey's wasted!". Within minutes that turned to "Oh my gawd, Trey is wasted". Sad, sad, sad.

I can see that they came back in 2009 to make amends for the bad parts of 2003-04 and I'm glad they did. I've been to some shows I thought were incredible (8/7/09, 9/2/11) and I look forward to the five shows I have tickets to in October.
