Thanks for the review. Thought it was a good marriage of scene and sounds. Maybe it needs an asterisk owing to the fact that it came out of the ambient space from Axilla�s outro, but that segue into Gin was just beautiful. It was patient and sonically delicious. If that were a thing. I imbibed a few heaping helpings of that minute or so this am trying to determine whether it was as good as it sounded live. Feels like it stands up.

Anyway, Phish is in pure bode mode. Excited for what transpires tonight.

I completely forgot to mention how I was reveling in those very subtle siren loops that Trey laid down in Maze that lingered lurker style behind the beat for the entirety of the song. That was a standout Maze and those sirens were like pure bliss.

I always feel like the grumblings that the opening notes of Bug produces typically dissipate and rocking heads prevail. I never really met a Bug I didn�t like in the end.

Bug is epic. Always has been and always will be for my crew. From Feb 22 �03 Cinci snow to Jovi to the encore at Pine knob.

I�ve noticed repeated assumptions even from professional reviewers that phans don�t like certain songs. It�s never the case that all others feel like you do about a song.

I don't see anything in the review that suggests that the reviewer -- probably not a professional, and certainly not getting paid for this volunteer work, like everyone else at phish.net -- assumes that anyone outside his section was groaning when that tune kicked off. Similarly, I bet you don't assume that everyone likes it. It's not a big deal either way; we play for low stakes here.

The opening notes of 'Bug' have always been an incredible buzzkill for me, and the closing notes of 'Bug' always leave me with a warm glow and a hint of '2.0'-flavoured ambivalence. Everyone's mileage varies.

The real question is why anyone likes 'Jibboo' or Classic TAB, but we'll table that.
