A sad day for me. They were so brilliant. Time to spend less money to watch better shows.

pretty much exactly what I said as we were walking out of the venue.

I think this is definitely a show best seen from a mid-range seat. I decided to go for the rail this time, but it almost detracted from the performance. Not only was I standing 4 feet in front of a subwoofer stack, but the visuals were [expectedly] not as impressive and I could see, in great detail, Maynard deciding to pussy out on every single scream or high note. The only bonus: Danny.
