Hearing this again after a long break really takes me back...to a cold February night in Northampton MA (this is incorrectly listed in the tour archive as being in Providence RI at Lupo's). A night when I finally got to see this exciting MONSTER of a band moving from infancy to toddler-hood. A show that I was able to personally promote (thanks to the street team) and bring a friend along to baptize in their glorious reverb drenched soaring guitar laden orgasmic communion. And the cherry on the evening was Patrick calling me up to their dressing area to meet everyone after I humbly asked him to have the guys sign a spare promo poster from my kit. I should have died that night. I remember my head trying to rip off as I described the whole scene playing out to my lady once I got home. I miss the small venues and barefoot Jim but I rejoice in their earth-shattering success and hope their fortune continues as such.
Love,
Me

I'm so glad you shared that story with us! That sounds like one of the best nights possible to me. I so wish I could have seen the band when they were in small clubs. I could have, but I was too stupid to think that people in their early thirties didn't go to shows. Little did I know...

Aww thank ya sweetheart I'm very fond of you too.

I wish to revise my observation of the boys' evolution tho--I think they actually expoded from toddler-hood straight into adolescence, considering a couple years after this show they were playing with the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Symphony Hall and getting kissed by Kirk Hammett in Tennessee
