Great show! Will post more shortly! Best show since 2002 imo.

Haven't seen any actual painted pictures yet. Found these for sale tonight though:

Ok, lot's to talk about. This was my third show of this tour, forth consecutive show, and 9th overall. A lot of interesting/good things happened to me today that put me in an even more ecstatic state of mind. Wasn't sure if i was going to have any trouble getting the tickets in will call. To my surprise people were able to go in and get merchandise even without a ticket. Maybe that's typical and i just never noticed. I got there just as they delivered a stack of signed posters. They said they had already sold out of the ones they sold earlier. This was during the time Tweak Bird was playing. I got one of tonight's posters autographed as you can see in the first picture i posted above. The other two are from the previous two nights. Anyway, on to the show info. They started off with Jambi and all was the same as Sunday night. Tonight I felt that maynard (Or simply as 'M' as he is signing his name these days) found his groove and really pushed himself to put forth some solidly clean lyrics on parts that I hadn't heard him really do before. One thing I noticed was that he left the stage way more frequently than normal. I got the suspicion he was doing this just to hear the massive applause when he returned to the stage. I'm not sure that would ever get old, if i was him. speculation. Anyway, they invited the drummer from Tweakbird to play lateralus and that shit blew me away! I am so fucking excited right now. i need to gather my thoughts. I think that on Thursday night I will reflect full on each of the past four shows and give strucutured reviews of each. I will also post all the maynardisms from the shows too.
