"I'd like to see Phish hand out playbills for a tour or more, with respectful instructions to the crowd explaining how they best can contribute to a focused energy. They play improvisational music, which takes great concentration. A yammering, talking crowd can get in the way. I feel that Phish are attaining a level of mastery that they deserve to be heard.

Check out 3.22.93. The focused crowd got the Gamehenge. SF 3. During the second set, the audience was mesmerized, and we got one of the best shows of 3.0. Phish play great dance music, so dancing its fine by me. Take rowdy frat talk to the beer garden. These tickets are expensive and cost a lot of money. Why show up if you're not there for the music?

At three same time, if Phish don't declare it in official terms, then it's not really gonna become a standard."

I agree completely. Long Beach was full of idiots talking.
Why are you talking during the music?!
