CT Love

Not much room for hate here. I know there are those who desire to read tales from Phish tour of ecstasy-addled-lost-children in the lot or a breast-feeding-wook nourishing her tour spawn within twenty rows of the stage; but this past weekend even these things could not detract from my enjoyment. Im not going to get into the setlist or Mike's playing or the shooting stars or any of that. Saratoga was a great show, but on Friday night in Hartford I felt and was moved by the Vibration of Life. The music, the lights, the moments. It was fucking incredible. See you retards in Cali.

"when was the last time one of you picked up a fucking book!"

Red Rocks Hubris

To all of you who were at Red Rocks listen up. Some of that shit was sick no doubt. Friday and Saturday had some great jamming and its clear the band is headed in the right direction. However, that being said, this was not a "legendary" 4 night run by any stretch of the imagination. There is plenty of shit that is mediocre and even downright sloppy. Listening to Trey during Rock and Roll reminded me that getting "reprimanded and rewired" in rehab doesn't fix everything. He still kinda sounds like shit a lot of the time because the band is out of practice. Kreutzmann may have been fun to watch, but his appearance is weak and disjointed at best. No better than B.B. King or Jeff Holdsworth, both of whom I saw and both of whom sucked, at least at interpreting and playing Phish. Whatever, its a whiney thing to bitch about, but I'm sick of this "I was there, and it was the HEAT" bullshit. Just because you were there and there and there was a bunch of glowsticks and you sucked down some molly with old friends does not mean that someone else can't listen to the SBD's and realize that the band was not hooked up. Im sure it was a great way to spend 4 days and I wish I could have made it out, but enough already with the comparisons to the Island Tour.
