Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. I'm watching a couple recordings from the New Orleans show and he sounds phenomenal on The Patient. There's nothing he's hitting there that he cannot hit on the ending of Vicarious. I think he just has fun letting the audience sing that part.

The security guards sound like fucking assholes, I think alot of those people just don't get enough opportunities to assert themselves in their personal lives so when someone gives them a little taste of power at a concert venue they go nuts. The cellphone thing is absurd. I know some dumb hulking oaf boring his way through the crowd around me would be way more disruptive to the concert experience than someone just trying to snap a few photos with a little glowing phone...

Thanks for the awesome reviews everyone!
