Hey Kids! I've been getting down with the boys since Nectars in '87 and saw no more Dead shows after Brent died in '89 cause I had a shiny new toy. I try as hard as I can to remain unjaded and uncritical, but lets be honest , not every show can be transcendent . I was having my episodic/periodic "Phish doubt", after Chicago, (note to Phish, please go elsewhere nearby next year like Alpine or Deer Creek, cause Chi town has not been kind to you the last two years) which had been lifted slightly by some fire in the southern leg. I was jonesin' hard for some serious Phish funk. Friday night at Dick's, Page came outta the gate playing faster and funkier than at any time this year and led to the best Simple of 3.0. The whole weekend was deeply fulfilling but the clincher was Sunday Night Second Set. I am currently, joyfully listening to it for the 15th time! Boys and Girls , I'm happy to report to you that my favorite band does not SUCK ! My batteries are fully charged! The smile plastered on my face from getting down so hard , so fully,for so long Sunday night will warm the hearts of all those I come into contact with for months to come. AND WE STILL HAVE VEGAS BABY!
