Although I’m only 22 I’m super annoyed at shows now. I actually had to say something to these kids (they were 16-17) standing behind me during a Gaslight Anthem set. They were being rude and loud right in my ear because they wanted to see Thrice. Granted, a person doesn’t have to like all the bands on the bill, but I didn’t pay to hear them shit-talk so I had to say something. It was just disrespectful. So you’re not the only one.</p> What a good show.

Seriously. I respect your opinion Eric, and Mark, you seem equally sincere in your praise. However, as strong a songwriter as Chris McCaughan is and as great a song as 100 Resolutions is, his solo acoustic version is so flat and uninspiring; I’ve seen and heard multiple versions. Oh well, I still thank him and his mates profusely for giving us the original. Both <span class="caps">TLA</span> and <span class="caps">HWM</span> are such great bands it really kills me to see Chris and Chuck wasting precious years on this stuff; they’re not ready for the pasture just yet. Eric, set them straight, will you?</p> These guys need to put a lid on their self-indulgent Bob Dylan fantasies, get back to their incredible bands, and make meaningful music again. Seriously.

And unless i’m too old (35) or not drunk enough (~4 tall boys) too, we had the exact same problem here in Gainesville during their stop. The problem was especially bad in the front where i was — and especially during Austin Lucas’ section. I was really pissed b/c I like Austin’s music and he seems like a great guy. What a crappy “homecoming” for Chuck. I felt mad and embarrased. I almost yelled “shut up” but didn’t know how to do so w/o it sounding like i was saying that to Austin. To add insult to injury the show got cut short b/c of a fight outside… Though they did do an impromptu set outside in a drive-thru. </p> <p>Where was the show? (I used to live in Chicago). The Revival Road CD is pretty good —- i was bummed they didn’t have the Chuck Ragan/Loved One’s split yet at our stop on the tour.</p> Eric — i’ve long enjoyed your stuff here at CYSTSS.
