Somewhat disappointed. Sound sucked ass. Rather, the instruments sounded decent...vocals just horrible. Not that maynard didn't sing well...the sound was just fucking awful. I couldn't understand one word...just...vibrating humming....


Having said that...I still enjoyed myself. Hell, my wife thought it was the best show she ever saw...I told her it wasn't...she shut me up and said don't ruin it.

Anyway, I''ll bet my life I just followed Maynard's tour bus from 11:30 to 12:15 down I-70. Brand new bus with Tenn. plates and "Music City Tour Bus"...makes sense if his family is actually south of Akron, then you'd take col. to cambridge and up to akron area rather than col straight to akron. Shiny silver bus with red and black with grey/silver pointed waves along side. Very contemporary.

I'm 33...and still a child I guess. Though I was suprised at the number of father/son combos at the show, as well as the overall appearance of people my age in general. Thank god.

Also...first show of ever that I've been to in a couple hundred shows of my lifetime...that I didn't see one asshole the entire time. Epic...not one asshole.
You & i disagree on 1 thing... the sound. Perhaps it was relative to where you sat because everything was crystal clear where i was... but every Arena has it's dead spots.

i too took my wife & she too said it was the best concert of her short 22 year life. i too saw many older gentlemen at the show, 2 were behind me... i thought this was cool... i also appreciated the fact that there where more lady fans than usual there.

finally, i agree 100 percent on the A - Hole thing... not one among us... that was not only unheard of but also very very cool.
