My favorite strange thing from MPP..

When they opened with Crowd Control one year, and everyone just biiiiitched and biiiitched.

And then the next year..They opened with it again. And all these "old school heads" chose to be all "I'm fucking done with this band, why would they open with this piece of shit song again?!" instead of the seemingly obvious "hahaha Phish is great!"

What makes it weirder is that I didn't realize how many people were mad about the Crowd Control thing until AFTER the 2nd night when they apparently had to drive home the point with a whole set built around I Saw It Again.

I kinda hope none of those people ever came back. More room for 18 year old kids who'd have more fun than the vets would any day. Phish could play a 6 hour Gamehenge with jams that split the fucking earth in two and poke at the gooey candy center and I'm pretty certain the "Fuck Crowd Control" crowd would be on their phones txting their heady friends about how lame people are. "These kids haven't even changed the way they're dancing since Gamehenge started! WTF BRO. I miss the old days bro. I'm gonna tweet about this, then post about it on facebook, then take an instagram of how these kids aren't even GETTING IT. It's amateur hour around here. Well shit, let me go get some beers first. Always gotta get beers if I'm going to talk and txt through the whole show and somehow act like the mere fact that i've seen Phish a bunch and know the words makes me better than people having a zillion times more fun than me and not even knowing what the band's name is"
