That was because we were high on acid while Jerry would channel the voice of God while a broken angel sang from a guitar. If you ask me, it's simple arithmetic. Jesus, what I would give to see that fatblacktshirtwearingmotherfucker bring down the house one more time.....drop you to your knees, he would. But MoMack, I hear what you are saying. I just have a hard time believing it was the culture, or the religion if you prefer. Surely that played a big part because if we werent there to accept the love and bounce it back, where would the magic go? But if you dont think the lot was full of evil and negativity in the later third of the Dead's exhistence, you would be selling yourself short. Allow Sloth to regail you with tales of signs he saw on Phish lot that read 'Deadheads go home'. Those signs were made for a reason and I am willing to bet there are oldschool Phisheads out there who would be willing to admit their scene went ways downhill once they got infiltrated. Sorry. I am getting waaaaaay off track here. I apologize to ya'll.
