YoureAHosemaster Very well written. I honestly think that the whole weekend I never actually heard any of the songs played. I don't know another time in my life I have felt so empty; certainly there have been many times in my life where I felt much worse but never so completely empty and helpless.

I have listened to a few of the songs suggested by yourself and the chart and there was some truly good stuff played (along with much terribleness) but I don't remember any of it from my memories being there. Leaving the concert ground after the final Curtain With, I was simply bewildered with a numb mind. I could not wrap my head around the fact that they were gone forever and I would never get to experience the joy I had felt so often attending their shows.

Critiquing Phish is something all fans have a right to do and I do it myself. Whenever I go to a show now that is not really up to Phish snuff, I think about the joys I just experienced in that "subpar" show and I think back to that feeling I had on the concert ground at Coventry, that bleak emptiness, and remind myself that no matter how they're playing, they are playing and fills me with immense joy. All the better now that they have been bringing hot fire for several years at this point.

I do love the Phish.
