People are taking this way tooo seriously. They're a band. A progressive rock band. Sometimes they don't improvise that much. They've always been different in that regard. It's a shame that if Phish can't reinvent the wheel, improvise to people's expected(somewhat childish) standards or pull a gag out of their proverbial hats every night, fans will dissect every song choice and what was wrong with it, before they begin their inevitable walk down memory lane and comparing said show to a thousand shows from the past. Oh well. This has all been wonderful but now I'm on my way.
I give this review a 4.4. It was sufficient but not as complete of a review as the one I gave in the fall of 1998.
