CosmicJamz Having attended 8 out of 10 festivals (minus Clifford Ball and Festival 8) I'd have to agree with most of what was ranked here musically. 'The set' from BC was the most memorable piece of music I've attended. Another factor that I would work in is the 'comfort' factor. As we got older Phish made increased efforts in making these festivals more comfortable. I mean I remember walking like an hour to get to the stage at the Great Went and Lemonwheel. BC's stage was also mad far from where we were camped. Oswego's oppressive heat and long walks made for a really difficult time. By the time of IT we bought scooters to help up cruise the runway. There was just so many people at these earlier affairs (think 50-80K). Downsizing to 30K is a better option for keeping the distance from camp to stage shorter (my trip was short - four minute walk from GC to Mike's side). Adding more bathrooms (I think Magna had 950 portojohns), better shower systems, free water with a Nalgene, and keeping the place much cleaner (thanks Clean Vibes) all added to a more comfortable festival experience. I can't wait for the 11th festie!
