I loved 8 why the hate
I don't think anyone hates festival 8, it's just that most of Phish's other festivals were just better than it.Yeah, it's much like 2009. Some good moments, but overall, uninspired. IMO. The acoustic set was a highlight. That should say everything you need to know. Obviously, being there is different. But in doing these "rank the ___" games, you gotta be objective.
Did not go to 8, but here is how I feel about the others. Well, how I feel right now. Might change my mind in a minute.
Clifford Ball (had the thrill of being the first)

I'm already second guessing. I realize I have Lemonwheel higher than Went, unlike everyone else. This probably has something to do with the rain and my tent issues. In fact, I had an absolute blast at Oswego (although it was hotter than hell).. And if we were ranking this purely on facilities, SBIX would shoot to the top. I mean, come on. At Clifford Ball we were lucky to find dirty port-o-potties and water spigots. SBIX had flush toilets and hot showers.
Bah, I give up. I'd go to all of them again.

Super Bowl better than Lemonwheel? Not a chanceI can't speak for being there but I will say that taken both the festivals musically on their first 2 nights alone, Lemon takes it. But having the added bonus of a third night w/ SBIX, and one crazy incredible show that night it had, I'm giving SBIX the slight edge. So, yes, yes there is a chance, ha.
