JayGrady It's always interesting to read post-show reviews and see how whatever expectation someone has concocted in their head for the show aren't met by the musicians creating the art. The experience of a show is more than the sterile stream while sitting on your couch, or the setlist, after all.

My first show was in 1992, and I saw Phish every year they played in the 90's at least once, typically more, including JazzFest 96'. My most recent show before OKC was Austin City Limits in 2010, which had punch, was well delivered, but wasn't a full-on Phish show.

I was in front of the soundboard on Page's side at OKC. This was a great show for the crowd, who were energetic and enjoying the hell out of it. The venue was nice. The people were nicer. And the vibe was great. Ok, so you didn't get some super heavy exploratory jamming. That's fine!! So what? They rocked out and everyone danced.

Phish put on a kick ass show for those in attendance. The band was smiling and having fun. The 2-3 flubs are what make a live show like this work. They give it character.

Peace to all.
