They told you not to be a show fluffer, so you hit it out of the park on this one.

All of .net can take a seat on the lawn for this show, you guys are wanting something that you will most likely never get. And when they give it to you, (Storage Jam, Head Phone Jam), you just say "Why can't they always do that?" You give a mouse a cookie... and he wants a cookie monopoly with full vertical integration.

You say the Twist was no good? Good god man... what show were you listening to?

Were you even paying attention to Mike? At all during the show?

Every time I see a show, I end up HATING .net for MONTHS.

Way to jump on the Jaded Vet bandwagon @TheEmu
A couple of things:

No one "told" me not to be a show fluffer. I'm not a fluffer...except when you catch me coming out of a show on a good night, like Portsmouth 2 and Charlotte, where I was fluffing the holy hell out of it.

The criticisms I leveled at this show were mostly about flow, sloppiness and energy, which on tape is lacking severely. Pretty much every single Phish show is a BLAST to be at, but that's not what these reviews are about. I don't see a point where I said that every show has to have a 20 minute jam or it's no good.

Speaking of which, can you point out the part where I say the Twist was "no good?"

“Twist,” which starts out sparse and jazzy before swelling and flirting with a pretty ambient section. This “Twist” never finds its way, though, and all of the extra “woos” tacked on to the end can’t change that.
Anyway, I had a blast seeing shows this summer, thought Burgettstown, SPAC3, Long Beach and BG3 had some AMAZING jamming, can't wait to hear what they do in Colorado, and love Phish. Being critical of what I think was a below average show doesn't change any of that. Can't make it any clearer than that.
