Did he just compare SBIX with Coventry?

That was my first thought when I read this post. I was speechless for several minutes while I tried to comprehend the thought... Just say that to yourself, "Coventry was better than SBIX". Wow.

I followed the Dead from 91'-95 and near the end it was same stuff being said as now with Phish. Not the same, sucks, don't jam enough, blah, blah blah.... and then it was over. In an instant, forever. I was one of those heads that would not even give Phish a chance. My mistake and one that I regret everyday. My best friend tried many times to get me to "just go see a show" but I never did until Deer Creek last summer. In the middle of the second set 8-12 "IT" happened and I turned to said best friend, gave him a hug and thanked him. I will never forget that moment but it wasn't just the music it was the electricity in the crowd, the friends around me, and the joy of being at a Phish show. It never is just about the music. If it were just about the music Phish would sell more cd's and do less shows.

So, he might be correct about some of the music being average, but I will take my turkey sandwich with American cheese on white bread and enjoy the shit out of it. And please do not ever compare Coventry with SBIX again. This is my opinion and everyone has the right to his/her own.
