I just felt people still acted like they were at the rave or a bar compared to seeing an amazing band at a top notch venue. I was upset because all around it seemed like people were smoking grass / cigaretttes (in a historic non smoking theatre), drinking the cheap pbrs and throwing them on the ground to wash on other's feet, and just acting like idiots throughout the show (either talking to others or shouting stupid shit at the band). Grant it I was not in the pit, but I was 10 rows dead center.

The latest few shows I have seen at the Pabst had a more mature / music loving audience (eels, cline / kotche, neko case). I just don't want the venue to stop from having shows and it seems like crowds like keep showing up, a good theater will stop having them there.

I think the crowd really tainted my view of the show. Even to the point that it seemed 100% even suffered do to idiots trying to be cool and stage dive - I thought we did not have to relive the 90s, but I guess so. I even feel they cut things short just do to the crowds actions throught out the night.

I did think the new album sounded amazing and I am glad so many you enjoyed it.

Yeah exactly, I was leaning on the stage and looked behind me to see how big the crowd was and I was shocked that most people were just standing there like statues staring at the ceiling or something.

Bands feed off the energy of the crowd so they probably did cut things a little short becuz that crowd was the worst I have ever seen.

I also liked the new album, I'll admit that I had my doubts when I first got it but after seeing the actual people play the actual songs I was just blown away.

You had room to wiggle? That's not fair.

I think a good portion of the crowd was there just for The Go! Team. Nobody yelled anything rude out, everyone seemed to be having a great time, and there was such a positive vibe. SY comes out, and the morons start yelling shit and acting like fools. My boyfriend's friend scored a setlist, so I checked to see if they did cut things short. They played their full set, but it seemed like they left the stage in a hurry and didn't do much between songs. I don't blame them.

they definitely hauled ass quicker than usual after 100%...i was
wondering if they'd drop their second encore, thankfully that wasn't
the case (as we know!).

the go! team were really good; definitely wouldn't mind seeing them
again.

i was pretty impressed with the go! team. the presampled stuff sounded to be mixed higher than the band, but overall i always love seeing bands swap instruments and pass roles around. i agree on seeing them again.

On Sys part, I thought they put on a great show, obviously. But, yes I do agree the crowed was rather not so good. Between people screaming during the slower songs and the dumb ass stage divers I dont know. I tend to forget those petty moments when looking back it though.

Well, even if you do get up & running to download this, you'll discover to your bemusement that the files are not actually in .flac, thus they cannot be converted in the NORMAL, ACCEPTED way.



 
\
The flac frontend says these files are not in .flac & cannot be converted. I also tried the dbpoweramp to no avail.


The Chicago show that was seeded recently also would not convert, but the dbpoweramp allowed me to convert the files to .mp3.

I hope someone can explain what's going on here because I'm about to trash these files.

& spare me the guff about 24-bit vs. 16-bit, just post a solution or a torrent that works in the first place, please.

yea one of those stage divers got up right between me and my girlfriend. I was already annoyed when he just started shoving between us because for one we had good spots and I thought he was trying to take them,and for two it was between me and my girlfriend, and I'm sure you can all understand that. When he stage dived I laughed at first, but then realized it was a pretty dumb move.

That's pretty hilarious. Although I shouldn't talk, because for some odd reason there's somehting i like about them. They're just catchy and easy to listen to.
