I was there. So was My Brother. It was awesome.. blah blah. I think you've all covered that. Here are the -real- good points:

Someone from out of town was lost in the inner city. They wound down their window and happened to ask Me for directions. I was more than glad to not only guide them, but uncerimoniously block traffic behind them so they could turn where they needed to. I love being a Baltimore native.

I met up with a Friend from High School on the floor.. The same friend that introduced Me to tool. He looked so fucking happy when they started playing Lateralus. I was too. He had been on the Lateralus tour.. but had not seen the light show display with the song. I think that made His entire night.

After the concert, as everyone on the floor was exiting.. someone on the balcony yelled out: "Collective Unconscious.. Yeahhhh!!" No one said a thing. And then the guy kind of shrugged.. so I figured Id bail Him out with a delayed "Yeahhhh!!!!" Im kind of shy.. but there were a few others that followed My lead.. so it was pretty good.

Comparing Baltimore to DC.. I was disappointed that the Setlist seemed smaller. Other then that.. the sound quality blew DC away. Vicarious actually sounded like Vicarious.. unlike DC where I dont know what the hell I was listening to. In retrospect, hearing Flood pretty much makes up for the negative points of the show.
