Just an idea…require users posting reviews to provide their ticket # from their attendance of the show or LivePhish.com stream confirmation # when they post. A way to prove that you were there in person or on the couch. This would provide two-step verification and help keep ratings of a particular show in check…at least initially.

The more I think about it;
…..when you first heard this particular show - were you there? Did you couch tour? Did you listen to the recording? —

this should be a tracked metric.

If someone was at NYE MSG ‘23/‘24 as I was, your review will be drastically different than someone listening (and comparing in their mind to the last time they played Gamehendge) the next day without all the visuals who was not there.

I also wholeheartedly agree that to compare stellar shows throughout the years is impossible. Nothing will ever top Big Cypress for what it was….Same with Gamehendge NYE….they are incomparable.
