Thanks for another phair and balanced review. Others have leaned slightly kool-aid.

I agree, both shows were encouraging--relaxed, confident and soulful playing. But as a fellow Jadester, I'd like to see them dive deeper into the pudding more frequently too. And mix up the predictable song flow (more first set left-field "jams," a la Roses).

As for the venue, what a shitshow. I've seen most of the dirty Woo shows since '95 and it's progessively gone down hill. I'm still waiting in line for the men's bathroom while I type this.

@AnalogKid: I saw a dude from Green Crew picking up balloons, so I thanked him. He says, "You know what would help is if you bought me one." I laughed, but that sort of sums it up.
