I fail to see how my desire to listen to Phish shows in order to get psyched for Phish shows is an insult to the band. At least they know I'm going to the show, and I wouldn't do that if I thought any of the ten quotes above were accurate reflections of Phish.

On the other hand, The quotes above, which for anyone who doesn't recognize them, are all from @J_D_G - Alpharetta 2 Recap, cant be considered anything but negative. The eloquence of the "Alpharetta 2 Recap" essay contrasted with @J_D_G inaccurate and contradictory comments attacking me here, (first an accurate quote, then a claim that I find no reason to listen to Phish) suggest that the Alpharetta 2 Recap essay was a pre-written, pre-planned attack on Phish.

It seems rude to smack down today's show because it doesn't connect they way yesterdays (yesteryears?) show did.

BUT THAT ISN'T WHAT ANYONE IS DOING. There's an enormous difference between putting a show in an historical context and just taking a dump on it.

Yes, there is.
