Disappointing Phish Show

Went to see Phish in Philadelphia on Wed November 25th. Left from north Jersey about 3:30, and the traffic was murderous. This was to be expected traveling on one of our nation's most densely traversed roadways on what is notoriously the heaviest travel day of the year--Thanksgiving Eve.
I didn't mind the journey. The delays were expected; I had the day off from work, and a long weekend ahead of me. Not only that, but I had my wife in the car with me--alone time and adult conversation has become the exception rather than the norm, both with full time jobs and a 2 year old child to raise.
Surely a longer than expected drive to see my favorite rock and roll band would prove a fruitful experience!
Unfortunately, it just was not to be. The show had potential, and its energetic moments, but overall, was uneven. Just as they would build up the momentum, they would somehow find a way to break stride, leaving this fan underwhelmed.
Perhaps my travels took more of a toll on me than I care to admit. Perhaps I'm getting older and don't quite have the energy of my youth. However, having listened to a couple of other shows from Fall Tour 2009, I can't help but feel a little gypped.
Good thing I have a three night run at MSG this week, which is sure to turn my frown upside down!
