Woo Hoo! Sunday night is almost here. For anyone going, take a look at my profile picture and try to find me, and I'll buy you a beer! (I'm going with the wife and the 2 older kids)

Last night was great. Randall's was fantastic. Such easy in/out parking, the crowd was relatively small and very cool (Chicago seemed like a frat boy convention, last night had more of a laid back hippie vibe). My kids had a great time.

The show was very good. They took a lot of good tunes off the table by playing them the first 2 nights, so I was curious how the set would be. I was expecting a Time Bomb and Wathtower set closer or encore, as well as Can't Stop, so I was pleased to get none of those. Highlights for me were Stone opener, Warehouse (always), funky LITHOG jam, AB Intro, and the LIOG reprise, Halloween>Ants encore.


Definitely a great night overall.

Mitch -Set looked great - glad you and your family had a good time - stuff I'm reading - small crowds? How small?.....Nice you got a Halloween -never used to care for the song until I saw it live.

Thanks Grinch. Surprised you weren't into Halloween initially, but yeah, seeing it live brings it to a new level.

As far as the crowds, from what I got from talking to people. Friday night was really small, I'm talking like only 8,000 people. Saturday was the biggest crowd by far, about 20,000. Last night was back down a bit to about the 15,000-17,000 range. I know they weren't the size crowds Coran Capshaw and RLM wanted, but for the concertgoers it was great.

Seriously set looked awesome. And small crowds make it that much better. Youre right about chicago. it was brutal. dudes and bros everywhere.
