Don't have believe me though. Go read reviews from this site on last two years NYE or count the 6 possums and backwards during first 12.5 shows this tour. They always play same shit and sloppy til they been on road long enough to add and practice more. Stats are stats. They don't lie.

....Having seen my first Phish show in 1992, I'm not a new kid on this block. And I remember clearly just how much Panic kids (and many Deadheads) HATED Phish throughout the 90's, only to see those SAME kids on Phish tour now.

You are a rarity if you were seeing both bands simultaneously back in the late 1990's. You're even more rare if, as a panic kid, you actually liked the song Tweezer back then.
It makes me question whether you're a real fan of either band.

Nowadays Phish is not sloppy, as you say, but tighter than I've heard them in many years. Their songs go deep, and they tease all their other songs throughout their jams. They do animal calls. They bounce and blend off each other. They fucking rock. I have to ask you Bear, "can you still have fun?" 37 minutes of fun, at least?

BGF, the repeat I'm sick of hearing is that of Spreadheads like yourself ripping on Phish.
With a handle like yours I would suggest that you stay home and download all those great Panic shows of late (ha) and leave the floor space open for the real phans.
