Also in response to the crowd. The change occurred more after Evil Urges came out imo. This was the same type of crowd that has been coming to MMJ shows since then. I personally don't let what a crowd is like effect my enjoyment of a concert. But understand it can be hard for people to get past. But I just could never stop seeing a band just because of the way a crowd acts.

Hard not to let the crowd affect me - i feed off the energy around me.  But I guess it takes those types too for the band to make enough money to tour for 15+ years... so I'll get over it.  Just gotta close my eyes and boogie

Was down in row E, Center Carl side on the aisle.  Our row was into it both nights.  Night one, no one even left.  Night two there were two beer runs.  I got very lucky and I know it. 

However, I know that chatting-fuckwits bother the snot out of me, so I wear ear plugs.  Not the big hunks of foam, but the very affordable etymotics.  For $13, these things block out the crowd noise.  Yep.  Filters it right out and helps save what's left of my hearing.  Don't let the chatting-fuckwits ruin your enjoyment.  Get some decent ear plugs and dance.

Athens crowd was terrible for people getting beer and moving around during the show. Also, a few pieces of trash pushing their way to the front. Cool it with the keg parties and just enjoy the show. Next time they'll all catch a rock bottom or stone cold stunner.

Amazing shows, night 2 was perhaps greatest MMJ I've been to, only complaints I had was the crowds. Lots of chatter.  During Steam Engine two ladies were sitting right behind us carrying on a loud conversation.  I will never understand why you go to a concert, 5th row, and do nothing but talk.  Didn't ruin the night at all but just annoyed the shit out of me.

Don't talk during shows folks.  If you do go the lobby and talk your freaking head off.
If you don't know for yourself, how could you ever know for me....

We were Jim side, orchestra row L, aisle both nights. We didn't end up with a ton of chatter near us, but did witness drama on the second night involving an older couple getting the ushers to kick out some young drunks for sitting in their row. Noticed a good deal of casual fans whom I would suspect were the talkers, however.

I didn't really care though, as the lady and I were dancing up a storm to two of the best sets I have witnessed since Roo in '08. So much face melting action, and we were loving every minute of it.

Any other sources for this?  Unfortunately, this is almost un-listenable.  No disrespect to the taper, I appreciate his/her efforts.

On the other hand, the Orlando show sounds great.  It's been on regular rotation for the gym this week.

That's a great idea. Honestly I probably should have had a little more booze in me, was too easily annoyed by the fuckwits - which, by the way, they will be forever labeled, deservedly so, in my mind now thanks to you. 

It was a great show. I still stand by not caring for the insertion of OMR into Steam Engine, but I'm apparently alone in that regard. That's what happens when you get old - you don't like change and you're easily annoyed. Something for you guys to look forward to.

Ha ha ha!  Sounds like me!  yeah get some earplugs designed for listening to music.  I am big on Westone Tru WR20s right now, they sound just as good as my custom-fit Etymotics and they are more comfortable and cost a lot less, around $30.  http://www.westone.com/store/index.php/tru-universal-tru20-smoke-3119.html

  I have not tried the one-size Etymotics, though.

i just listened to the first half hour on the way home from work. definitely gotta turn the bass down, but other than that it sounds fine to me.  but i got the flacs, even my old ears can tell the difference in quality over mp3s.

audience recordings are what they are. and i'm not really interested in listening to shows i didn't attend. i download them as more of a souvenir/keepsake and don't really expect audiophile quality. just glad someone goes thru the trouble and allows me to re-live the night whenever i get the urge. :beer:
