I am one of those people who thinks that people who webcast shows should NEVER review a show, not because their opinions are meaningless, but rather because I feel their take should be discussed/shared in the comments section. 15 years from now when I go back to reminisce about past shows, I'd like to hear from people who were THERE to help me piece those live memories back together. One way of looking at this- do webcasters count shows they watched from their couch towards their statistics? No? Well why do you think that is? Listening to old shows will tell you something about the music, but it doesn't put you THERE.

Look, I was at all 3 of the SF shows and I'm gonna be honest, reading some of the reviews after the show on Friday kinda knocked my post-show high down JUST A LITTLE (because that 2nd set was BALLS- like could contend against most shows this tour). Wanna know why? Because WE ALL share in the groove. Reading webcasters spewing hate regarding that was, I'm sorry to say, very ignorant and just plain factually incorrect!
I was the one who reviewed Friday and I stand by it.

"Spewing hate" and "ignorant" and "factually incorrect" are tall claims for which you offer no evidence. Would you like to offer some?

As for that recap's impact on your post-show high, that's on you. Sorry.
I agree with Josh and to be honest, I had to stop reading the original post after:

(because that 2nd set was BALLS- like could contend against most shows this tour).

Really? It doesn't even contend with half the second sets on Leg 2 and there have only been FOUR of them! (Long Beach & SF3). This is the kind of subjective conjecture I am glad to not read in the recaps. Keep up the good work fellas.

FYI - If a recap can knock down your post show bliss...you're doing it wrong.
By "tour", I was including leg 1. As far as the "post show bliss", see above. ;-P
