"show was good, buffalo my hometown so nice to have him here. true phan, you are anything but. a true phan would appreciate the band for what it is, not bashing them for what you didnt like..you say its sucks but give no logical reasoning other than "its not 92". so go back and listen to your old 20 year old shows if thats all you like and stop posting on here.TRUE fans are better off without having to read your constant negativity toward the band."

"Before I pay for this, I want the whole tour and whole TAB tour. Sorry I refuse to have gaps in my collection. Hope these are made available..."

"hey just so anyone who cares knows.... "Truephan" is my brother who wrote that review just to mess with me and see if i would notice. it's a joke based off a conversation we had a few months ago about all the negativity and arrogance among some phish fans out there. only a joke. he would have been at this show had he not had work or something else that wasn't as fun or memorable as this show. now that i think about it, he'll probably post something else about this one, too."

"I saw Mike on this tour in B'ham and it was great. I bought a T-Shirt that night but demanded that the guy selling it had to cut the sleeves off before I gave him the money. I figured if you are going to buy a Mike Gordon T-Shirt, you may as well remove the sleeves. I love the shirt by the way---- Anyway, this show rocks; as did most shows form his tour. A great band, a great sound, lots of interaction with the crowd. All fun stuff, befitting of Mike's understated reverence. I think I may have said it before on a show review, but I find Mike's bass playing resplendent. There is no other word I can find to capture his sound. Over the years (and I have been going to see Mike play for almost 20 years now) I have become a HUGE Mike Gordon fan. Its great to see him having so much fun in these venues, like the Workplay Theatre where I saw him. I actually prefer seeing Mike and his wonderful band more than i do Phish anymore. I know, I know but throughout my perspective as a fan, I have seen Mike go from good, to great, to my absolute favorite bass player. Thanks, Mike and be well. On a scale between 1 Gill to 5 Gills, this show earns a solid and respectable 3.75 Gills. i would have given 4 or possibly 5 gills had the aforementioned Workplay show been released."

"First off...thanks for tunes mike! Second off...people like "true phan" are neither true nor are they phans. People like this clown make us all sick and are the detriment of phish scene in 2010. Stop the complaining or GTFO! Really, this "true phan" is more like a "true asshole." What a douchebag! Seriously, where do these people get the nerve? Phish didn't stop in 1992. Too bad some people have their head so far up their tight asses that they missed out on the best years of phish....your loss idiot! When you see someone like "true phan" talking shit constantly and bringing everyone else down, don't hesitate to call these morons out for the childish assholes they really are."
