I like what you tried to do but I just can't get to where you are. I will need some more time and listening to truly get a feel for where Magnaball belongs (unfortunately having just started a new job I was unable to make Magnaball even though I was initially scheduled to go). For me you did not give enough credit to Oswego - 7/18/99 is one of my favorite days in phish history strictly for the music . It includes my Favorite Gin of all time, the Water in the sky was beautiful the runaway Jim was great and the Piper insane.

Coventry however was a disappointing mess. FWIW I waited in that traffic Jam for 48 hours and then had my car demolished as somebody fell asleep at the wheel and came across the median and hit me pushing my trunk into my backseat. I ended up walking the last 12 miles into the venue with my gear on my back to face the mud (on my way home which was a 15 hr drive we had to stop every 2 hours and rest as carbon monoxide from the exhaust was venting into the passenger cabin as we pried stuff away from my wheels so we could make it back home for an obligation - awful headaches for me and my buddy and all that was still fine as I didn't care and I made it.) Emotionally the music was a spiritual catharsis for me but quality wise it was some of the worst playing I can recall and my show count is similar to yours going back to '91. Coventry has to be tier 4 possibly 5.

You did however get the first two right IMHO Cypress and It stand as a cut above the rest IMHO after that you could go a lot of ways as long as cypress goes to the near bottom.
