I truly believe that in an alternate timeline where Phish played a Coventry festival with much fewer flubs, a timeless Gamehendge set N2S2, and absolutely nailed that second Fluffhead encore, we may not be getting the great 3.0 Phish in recent years. Coventry was enough of a disaster (with the many highlights stated above) that the band felt they had something still to prove. That there was still a reason to show that there was gas left in the tank. I'll be relistening to Coventry again today, as I have every year since 2009. You have to remember where you came from.
