The Superball stands out due to a confluence of factors. SCI's Electric Forest festival attracted most of the hardcore wooks, bringing some purity (and space) to the phest. 30,000 is an IDEAL number... The scene, IMHO, inspired the band. Jam segments are found in new places, and the spirit of those jams differs from most performances. Jammed out Destiny Unbound?!?! Super free-spirited funk Friday and Saturday, reminiscent of '97, and following the Storage Jam, Sunday's jams were just plain spacey. Your friend has a point about "being there"... True, the "lasting power" may or may not stand amongst the masses, but the 30,000 phans there will generally hold that experience pretty high up on their "top shows" list. Promise you that.
