Phunkaddict First, thanks so much for running this site, it's such an awesome thing for us phans! So grateful, truly. As for ratings, I have often thought, like Fukuoka Gumbo , that a 10 point rating system would be helpful in providing more accurate and nuanced ratings. I think part of the reason people like Rater B may have so many 5s, and why some people (like me) haven't rated shows at all, is that so many shows feel better than 4/5 but not quite worthy of a perfect 5/5, but giving them a 4 seems a disservice. There are many that feel like a 4.5/5 or 9/10, or maybe 7/10 for a solid but not great show. Most phans I know feel that Phish is consistently very good, and it's going to be skewed toward higher scores. We love to have friendly debates about why Night 2 was better than Night 3 and how both were better than N1 and N4, but how those were also really good. This is easier to translate to numerical ratings if we can give them 8, 8, 9, & 10, for example. I'm sure that would take more work on your part, but just wanted to chime in with my thoughts on the subject. Thanks again!!!
