Chilly 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.

Chilly I can't seem find the Festival +/- game thread, nor do I remember what won. I wanna say The Great Went won, but I dunno for sure.

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)
Lemonwheel
Cypress
Went
SBIX
Oswego
IT
Coventry

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.

I 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.
