I feel like the middle child when writting reviews of shows. I caught my first phish show in 1994 at age 14, I really began getting into Phish in 1997- present. Each time they play is a blessing to musical appreciation. I caught the first set last night and found it to be a good first set, nothing amazing and nothing lacking. The fact that the Phish style has been altered is true. The dead did it most bands did it, bob dylan the best songwriter IMO did it and hell even the beastie boys who played 4 kinds of generes of music did it. Everyone can speak your piece about this band, I find Phish to be nothing more than interesting experiences of talents combining to form a vortex of sound and feeling. Keep on keeping on and some people need to re- read a chapter of the book.

One love
Palmer.
