I noticed the same thing at OOMH. From the floor, it looked like quite a number of lower level right folks disappeared. Sad commentary if you people watch as your PRIMARY entertainment at a show.

lots left for spaceman, but they were certainly into it for cornbread and belly full.

Makes me wonder why someone would go to that show.

Yeah, what kind of weirdo goes to a show and then notices how the crowd reacts to certain songs?? Wait...

So, I guess you're allowed to comment on crowd reaction in a positive manner, but if you mention it to support a critical opinion, you shouldn't have even gone in the first place. Makes sense.

spot-on with your review chad. agree 100%. i enjoyed the weekend, but mainly for the same reasons as you: i like the people i went with and i love the town. and my expectations for the shows were really low.

It was amusing seeing everyone leave like it was the last 5:00 of a blowout basketball game

Am I the only person that actually enjoyed the breadz with Lawlor?

Good review Chad. To me there has only been one great show this tour and that was 12/9 mainly because of this run-


The riff
Water into wine
Drunken soldier
Granny
Lie in our graves
What would you say
Song that Jane likes
snow outside
