actually, the band didn't do much for me performance-wise. they seemed to
play it pretty straight. they were decent, and they played all of my
favorites (not being a huge fan, i only like about 7 or 8 of their songs,
and got em all), but they weren't enthralling like, ohh.... say.... modest
mouse? it was just that the crowd was so excited... in my opinion the energy
from the crowd is about 80% of a live show. and what was up with that big
"=W="? was that sound-sensitive? i thought it was being controlled to glow
in time to the music from backstage, but then i noticed it's lights would
sort of flutter when the crowed applauded or chanted. pretty cool.
all in all, it was - in the words of MC Paul Barman - "super-damn-fun"
oh, and thank god i didn't get tickets for providence... i couldn't get
through another show like that for a while.
anyone else seeing them soon?
