The latter half of the second set is better on paper than it is in practice, but don’t get me wrong it is still good though.
But if you like 7 below as much as I do this one will blow you away it completely and utterly destroyed the one from the previous year 
The joke being that the seven below from the year before was actually shorter than the album version.
I can see how someone would think the Brooklyn '04 show is the “worst” live Phish release ever…but 6/14/00?
6/14/00 is probably in the bottom-5 (not mine), but at the very bottom?
I’ve given 6/14/00 a number of chances, but I’ve never gotten into it. No other official release bores me the way it does. So yes, I’d say its at the very bottom.
So so so so so so so so true.
They are the bottom rung. Both of those shows together (maybe) make a single rung.
I think I’m going to dig for that thread you started about worst/questionable LP releases.
I liked that thread.
Let’s get some heated debates going…some cuss words…someone leaves the board.
You know, the usual.
I nominate myself to leave.

Where would you go?
What would you do?
How will you survive, damnit!?!
WHAT WOULD WE EVER DO WITHOUT YOU???
Still not talk about Phish.
a
you mean that band that hasn’t played a show in 44 months?
jk I still like talking about Phish when it comes up…but it is frustrating and repetitive after a while with nothing new happening.
I think most message boards go through a natural evolution from discussing a topic frequently and in-depth to moving onto to other subjects. Look at PT. They’ve been around for ages and while they still do discuss Phish, it’s not hard to find a topic about fucking a tranny or taking a shit while at work.
I’d like to think we here try our best to not go that route.
Yeah I’d agree ghost. I think the level of content on this board is suitable for most. I do however wish we discussed more Phish. I came along pretty late and yes not much as happened, but we need to come up with a way to involve Phish more. I’ve tried throwing out a couple topics, but no one seems to grasp them. Admittedly they weren’t the most interesting topics as scouring through the board it seems as if everything has been covered.
I mostly hang around the music and sports threads and occassionally others, but wish we involved Phish more.
When I joined this board almost 3 years ago (right around the time a lot of the regulars on here joined, too), it was filled with non-stop Phishy discussion. Just look at the old posts and threads. But that fell by the wayside somehow. I, too, would love to see the Phish boards more active. I try to bump older threads from time to time to initiate discussion. Sometimes it works; most of the time it doesn’t. Threads like “Questionable Live Phish Releases” are ones that I think are great for the board.
Agreed. Technically, the show looks & sounds great, but…
Yeah, but with all the releases, one of them has to be at the bottom…
I enjoy Brooklyn, especially The Curtain With. Really, really, really enjoy the jam. I wish they played The Curtain With more often.
I actually have to disagree a bit, while there are some sloppy points in the show, I think Brooklyn is one of the best shows of 2004 hands down. I mean we all know they were sloppy in their last year, but the fact that phish hadn’t had a band practice since the hiatus sort of makes it unbelievable. I mean ANY band who hasn’t practiced in over two years it going to suck, and yet, they pull it off.
do they?
What is “it?”
It’s “it”.
“It” is what’s going to rain when they say “It’s going to rain”.
Now come on. How could they pull that off?
