This second leg has been really weird...they are too good for this for it to be a matter of circumstance. I can't help but have a feeling of dread about this weekend. I sincerely hope that that all of these webcasts 'rehearsals', and the burning fire first leg of playing all of these songs they have shelved, this completely apathetic second leg, and complete lack of jamming with Trey literally laughing at us while he is playing a five minute halleys, and the whole maya theme is not a a collection of signs that they are calling it quits at the 'place where their touring started.' As far as I am concerned...they couldn't have shown (or maybe just one or two members of the band) less interest in playing their songs this leg...or mixing it up...or being the master musician performers full of surprises that they are. We will see I guess... I mean, I have seen them break up twice, call me superstitious...but...this is too uncharacteristic...dear Phish...please prove me wrong...

so... I can't really relate to what you are saying. If Phish were to call it quits again after the show I just saw in St. Louis, then there truly is no hope. St. Louis was amazing. The sound was incredible, the band played two great sets and had fun. So did the crowd. It wasn't sold out and the place only holds 10,000; there was no webcast and it $#@!! killed. Sorry if you couldn't make it, or if BGCC or some other over-hyped venue was more important of a ticket. There won't be a Harpua at Dick's. If you think that's a sign of them calling it quits, maybe you should read their book. Or just realize that the mid-west is the backyard of the east coast.
