I very much enjoyed your review OP. I, like I'm sure most, went into the Forum with expectations of average/good-great. I feel like we got average good last night. I really didn't feel that they failed to carry to energy until the middle of the second set and honestly I liked those songs too. Not much in the line of exploration but they needed a break onstage. They have been raging hard for a week now. They took a break on 7/16 as well. No big thing. That's why as a Phishhead you have to work, save, prepare and make a run with the boys of at least 3-4 shows. You can't go in to a single show at the Forum and expect to get what your looking for. LA doesn't inspire...What is LA about, hiphop? Memphis, home of the blues....Nashville-music city-home of country...N'Orleans-home of jazz...LA????
