I was at the first show in Portsmouth, and I was there last year, the year before, and I saw a ton of shows in the late 90's and so on. I think a lot of people have missed out on the most important part of the shows. I had an absolutely great time. My friends had a great time, everybody I saw in the crowd was having a great time, the band seemed to have a great time and despite what has been said, it showed in the songs and the show. I guess I am somewhat lucky not to have the curse that many here seem to suffer from. Take it for what it is, enjoy, and relish every minute. They won't be here forever.
