Jeremy:
That show isn't in the Phish.net user-voted Top 20 list, and was not among the wild card entries we manually added to that initial list. So for the purpose of this list, it was not in contention.

I discovered it anew though, anyway, and love the second set. But considering that this second set is shaped much like some other, better, four-and-five-song sets from this tour, I don't think the first set offers enough to make this show stand out from the (stiff) competition, all-around. Speaking for myself. But again, we're talking about the Top 20 of 1997...simply taken on its own terms, 11/14 is obviously a *great* show! No questions.

> Oh well, you guys are the experts, I'm just a phan. Thanks for putting this list together. Been fun to follow all week.

No way! Your username is very apt...this is all just The Way We Feel. All it takes to be an expert on this stuff is to listen to all the music (repeatedly), and think about it. And then just act like your opinion is important for some reason. That's what we do. :-)
