Hey Dave, don't write and play awful songs and we will. Remember the 90s?

Holy shit! Am I the only one in shock with how brutal these hardcore fans are? It's funny, upon seeing the setlist on my iPhone Ap, I was thinking one of the best shows of the year. Both spring and summer tours. I am quite surprised to see how much everyone hated it.
One thing I can't stand is when someone praises so many performances during the night and then says it's an awful show because of 2 songs they hate along with a couple not-so-good versions of songs.
I am into these guys just as much as most of you. I have been listening since '94, but am I'm not an avid reader of the boards because of stupid remarks on most fan-based forums. Sucks you hate some of his songs soo much, but if you are going to just bash and never be pleased with his sets except for 1 or 2 out of every tour, stop being a fan.
I can understand why so many Ants maybe upset with their choice of songs for Alpine because of the venues history, but some of you need to understand that a LOT of people still love Smooth Rider and Bayou. I personally hated Bayou when I first saw it and grew to like it, not love it. I would prefer not hearing it, but I'm not going to rip on a song that generally is a crowd pleaser. You Ants need to open up your eyes and realize not everyone at Alpine is an Ant, and you can be a hardcore fan and not be a member of the online community.
On a side note, this is the case with my other obsession, Disney theme parks. It's my thing, hate if you want, but this is what happens in their online communities. Everybody slams them for everything they do, but they go to the parks ALL the time and spend their money on the company. Case and point, critique the shows as much as you want, but if you are going to be so picky on these human beings playing the same music almost everyday, maybe you will never be fully pleased and deserve a break from them.
Cheers to all those that goes to the show just to enjoy themselves and are not more concerned about every aspect of the show and their review online rather then just enjoying some of their favorite music.
