very well said in this review - cheers - i too appreciate the perspective and optimism

i was in attendance at the forum last night after attending the beautific bgca trilogy this week and what i will share is - climate control must be taken into consideration

after being in cool cool san francisco LA is in a heat wave. it is challenging physically to move from cool cool weather to hot heat. the forum was so hot on the floor, i cannot recall ever feeling so uncomfortable at a venue. when security passed through the crowd, I asked if there is any way to turn up the ac and the response was - too many people here. the ac would start and stop and was very weak while outside the venue the temperature reached 99 degrees. this is part of the reason the songs last night were more chill and why I think there were no extended jams. the energy of the crowd was definitely hampered with the heat in the room and the floor was very crowded at the opening of set two.

also, those of us who attended all bcga concerts have thrown down a lot of energy already.

i attended last night and to call it a clunker is completely fair. i have no regrets happy to be present with this band any and every time i get a chance. i can recall many interesting moments last night, yet those moments were sporadic and not sustained.

i love the phish from vermont. it doesn't matter. if your favorite team loses a game with honest effort - you go to the next game and keep rooting for the next win - something i shall do tonight attending chula vista.
