AmblingAntelope1 Very well said my friend. As you alluded to in your piece, Phish shows are incomparably cool because they offer an escape from the politics and the social bullshit that permeate mainstream society. The Phish community provides a safe haven from hate, judgement, and mockery, where we are free to be individuals and to form our own unique connections with the music. I saw my first Phish show this summer, and have never felt more welcomed and accepted than I did as I walked through the crowd that night exchanging huge grins and high fives with all who passed. Music's greatest power is in its ability to not only bring people together but to transcend the superficial "games" to which countless human beings today are slaves. This video is just another "game", a 15 minutes of fame gimmick that may very well wreak havoc upon the life of its subject.

Plus, didn't this guy miss some music while he was screwing around with his camera?
