So Gumbo is hating and dyslexic and Mar is giving them the benefit of the doubt?  :-o

I love show discussions on this board.

Me, too. Really gets me pumped for the shows I'll be seeing this weekend! 



















What time does the Jauntee come on on Friday night?

comments like this are what make me continue to read these things.

listened to the crosseyed on the way to work. not bad. ripchord'd hard on the end when it just sounded like it was about to go somewhere.
got some potential this tour.

I was pretty broken up about not being able to go home to Rochester for this one... Let's just say I'm not anymore.

I'm glad I went, but it was just a weird night.  Way undersold, huge swaths of open seats.  Band did not throwdown.  The oddest thing was how loud the room was vs the bands PA system.  It felt awkward, because you couldn't hear Mike or a lot of what Fishman was doing.  I'll let the tapes decide how it all went but it was a strange experience, it felt like I was dancing to a band on the radio or a home stereo system, rather than a booming concert.

Just lots of indifference and the band wasn't doing their part to work the crowd up.  Really flat energy-wise for most of the 2nd set.

i don't read miner's reviews often, but it looks like even he, the king of fluffers, thought it fell flat.

I guess that answers blats questions about why they don't play like they did the other night if they're capable of it. Maybe its because they simply aren't capable of it on a nightly basis.

Ah well.

[Lifeboy]

we've resorted to now blaming the crowd for the show performance?

If it were anyone other than Gumbo making that ridiculous statement, I would have asked the same thing...


seriously.  :|

I heard that "the crowd was young and stupid" and that people were "throwing shit at the band"
