word around the phish table was that this was the "meh" show of the tour. after hartford, which was considered the "omfg" show of the late summer run, this setlist consisted of a lot of new material and songs they haven't played yet or stuff they wanted to try out. some flubs were apparent i heard and yes the crowd was "less than desirable." blame it on the merriweather cops who DO NOT fuck around, but i blame it on the fans period; they are what killed phish the last time . . . and i see the 2.0 generation is following in their (fuck you/it's all about me and my high) footsteps. it is no wonder that phish does not cover the dead. the dead fanbase was a loving commune that treated others with respect and helped each other out if the need saw fit. of course the dead generation wasn't raised on rap music, violent video games, and fox news.
i had lawn seats but gave them up . . . because after hampton, i knew it wouldn't compare . . . and it looks like i was right. here's hoping festival 8 will be a blast.
