- Covering DSOTM after Halloween since fans were hoping for it that year (and doing something similar with Zeppelin the night before in 2010)
Other than Central Park, name anything DMB has done that even comes close.

Your post has nothing to do with what I said, I wasn't doubting what Phish does for their fans. Also, on that note I've been perfectly fine with DMB's career and things like
- encouraging free trade of their tapes to help them get on the map in the early 90's
- the amount of touring they have done just about every year, which I would take over a one off bakers dozen with several years of not touring
- more live releases than I can keep track of, DMBLive, Live Trax etc.
- charity efforts, including the recent one in Charlottesville
- Dave going to a very sick child's home after a DMB show and playing solo for as long as the child wanted because the kid was too ill to meet Dave backstage as planned
Aside from the annual full tour / bakers dozen comment these are just a few thoughts off the top of my head that are their own individual comment, not comparing to Phish, just saying there is plenty I have liked as a fan. Trey seems like a great person and does a lot for his fans, the music is just not my thing and that should be fine.
