I would like to apologize for my extremely negative douchebaggery review above (I tried to delete it, but that is not an option). I wrote the review on Monday afternoon while waiting in line at the DMV in Phoenix. A big reason I did not have a good time at the show was because I took too much and was focused on the yappy talkers around me and the cigarette smoke instead of the music. Nonetheless, the sound in the nosebleeds was definitely awful, but that is no excuse for the destructive comments about the band I love. I should have just moved closer and away from the distractions, and I would have if I could have gotten my f’d up butt out of the seat.

After relistening to the show in the comfort of my own home with a sober mind I am disappointed that I did not make the most of a fantastic show where almost every single song is played above average. Love the Gin, Free, Walls combo to close out the first set. And, that CDT > Piper opener is perfect. The crazy YEM shenanigans that went down are instantly legendary.

And, does Fishman say “Australian assless chaps” in Wombat? I’m ready for that funky song to make an appearance again.

What I learned from this show is to not let other people negatively affect your show and to know what you are getting into when you take foreign substances before the show.
