Jambase offers accurate if somewhat terse descriptions of shows, and has some nice stats at the end. I generally go there first to get the basic info, and then head to .net for the sometimes good reviews. Often the the .net reviews include pointless personal information, floods of descriptive words that don’t tell you a thing, floods of words that make sense to the author but don’t tell you a thing (as in the above review), or boring jaded vet speak.

As for the uh, diverse fan base...99% white. 60-70% male. It is not surprising that there would be Trump supporters in the fan base. One would like to think that there are not Nazis, and said Trump supporters do not support Nazis. Whether Trump is responsible for the increased visibility of such folks (or one might argue, our nation’s greater awareness of the entrenched racism in itself) is not a subject for a show review and is a bad start to a bad review of what seems to be the best show so far.

It does seem like the community needs to be taking better care this tour in re trash in Tahoe, whatever violent things happened at The Gorge. Phish has a clear message of community and love in their middle age and we should take it to heart.
