I won't tell you about my drive through a blizzard to Albany *or* Binghamton in 1995 if I don't have to read reviews from folks whose 5th show this is...

If this was someone's 5th show, good for them! Being a long term vet doesn't make you better than anyone else. Gatekeeping=uncool.

Besides, after 12 years of 3.0....there is a Baker's Dozen for your Island Tour, Dick's 2012 , Magnaball, etc, etc...lots of shows that stand up with previous heights. Things are different yeah but the guys still blow minds.

My point was-talk about the music! Describe it, whether in musical or descriptive imaginative terms. Seceral folks in tbe comments did so. I don't have the time to listen to every show as it goes so I like to hear what I shouldn't miss.
