Review by SANITY79

SANITY79 Not impressed . I love this band truly for there Improv, there Jamming, Changing the setlists every show, the segues, and there music of course! But when they basically stop jamming all together where your lucky to hear 1 decent jam a night ? And the setlists have gone to totally random w no effort or thought put into it, it would seem and w a ton of slow ballads forced into each set. And there were a ton of flubs, miscues etc. I don't know what they are shooting for this tour, but if it's not to be a jam band anymore which by definition a jam band jams on songs which phish has almost rarely done this tour then there not really a jam band are they. And they are the best at it don't get me wrong. So why have they stopped ? Now they are starting to turn phish shows into an average rock concert with great lights. I love this band very much but this tour has been mostly a let down a few good shows but this show was a total let down. Yes u can argue that they played ctb, mymy, Tweezer, Fluffhead etc. But when they sound bad n have a ton of flubs n no real jams that does not make it a "Great Show" . Mediocre at best and that's pushing it. I hope this band that I admire very much turns it around n destroys the rest of the tour! But to say I'm nervous about the rest of the tour is an understatement. And yes there's always gonna be negative comments on shows that they didn't play this or its not the same since 97. I am not one of these people. And cannot sit back while certain phans n newbs blow smoke up the band's behind n people on the .net that the shows are awesome and great When cleary they werent, with this show in paticular. Last year was a triumphant tour ! Well balanced n some great jams! But this tour thus far has been for the most part a big disappointment besides a few earlier shows. I hope they turn it around n quit forcing all these slow songs and ballards and expect everyone to cheer n scream to them. And jam maybe more than 1 or 2 songs a nite . Come on guys ! Hoping for better shows on the rest of the tour.
