agreed but im not sure i'd frame it the same way you did. i was "still around" and just as into them in '03-'04 going to only a few shows here and there as I was in '93-'95 when we'd do entire tours and 20 shows a year. perhaps the nicer thing about later years was that we could afford better places to stay and eat and our rides were more comfortable ... although, to be fair, at over 300,000km following the Dead and Phish in our old Tempo - it was one of the best rides ever! i just think its important to show some support for the guys when they do come back. whether they are bad shows, good shows, or epic, it will feel a bit like being home again for a lot of us, i think. i always felt that way at Phish shows.
