All the phish.net reviews have been very entertaining to read this year. Unfortunately what I find in the reviews and comments are people trying to find the silver lining in the clouds. It pains me to say this, but I'm starting to wonder how much phish is into this anymore. The shows of the past few years have had more ups and downs than a trampoline. They lack focus and almost any sense of direction. The playing is sloppy and awkward. At times it seems like they got their mojo back only to lose it the next night. They've started to use gimmicks to cover up the lackluster music, e.g. cover fest 2012 and new lights and stage arrangement 2013. I understand that mistakes will be made and that each show is different, but lately it seems as though the lows out weigh the highs. What happened to the consistency? I feel the lack of shows is to blame. What happened to spring tour? Fall tour? Phish was great live because they played together all the fucking time! More shows=better shows! I hate feeling jaded!! This is my favorite band. I've spent the last 18 years of my life seeing them. I have so many positive memories associated with them it's ridiculous. I will continue to see and support them as much as possible. I'm not trying to be negative or piss you guys off, but I know I'm not the only fan who is feeling this way. I know they can still deliver the goods when they want. It just seems like it's to far and few between.
