There's been much debate among our editors as to whether this is an event to be celebrated or mocked, but those options aren't mutually exclusive. Hell, some of us remember our mothers dropping us off at the amphitheater parking lot in eighth grade, unwittingly exposing us for the first time to conspicuous drug use, dancing in spinning circles, and patchouli oil. Dave Matthews and LeRoi Moore came out to play "Three Little Birds" for the encore, which seemed way cooler at the time than it does in retrospect. But Phish, man...they jammmmmed!
Now we're much older - my God, how old does that make the members of the band? - and we get to wax nostalgic and spend another beautiful summer evening in a crowd of bearded men. Don't hesitate, just buy your ticket - you don't know how many reunion tours they'll do.
