I can barely play a kazoo and I'd rather hear the Outside Lands safe but well played show 1000 times out of 1000 over the horribly sloppy with occasional peaks that Coventry was. Ironically, I would have said before the show that I'd rather have 10s and 2 than a bunch of 6's, but that was before I saw the reality of what that was like.

I wonder if a different distinction needs to be drawn between people who saw Phish before the barrier between the band and the fans came up and those who saw them after. When Jerry had issues in 94-5, my reaction was to not see the Dead as much, as opposed to being worried about him as a person.
