I would have to say this review kinda blows. I have been seeing the boys since 93 and this show went down in my top 5. I quickly texted a friend during setII/encore break that Milwaukee 94 (the "oj" show), Lillie France 97, Dayton 97, Omni 96 and these were the quick, off the top of the head, top 5 shows these eyes have seen live. Granted the setlist on paper was nothing too exciting, but the energy level of the show and the playing were spot on the entire evening.
I sat fish/mike side on the rail with my wife, her brother and his wife. We were all stone cold sober and floored by the complex layers of sound the entire evening. There were few low points and each member of the band was wide eyed and grinning from ear to ear the entire evening. Very few flubs or misplaced notes and I often felt like the playing was a somewhat redemption to VT for Coventry. Granted there were no "bustouts" or "Oh my God's" last night but I can't say enough how well they played. Mike came out to introduce VT's Governor before the show and told the crowd how pumped the band was to be playing this show.
I think 2011 will go down in the books as a year when the boys, night for night, were playing well and most of the shows I have listened to from this year have a 94 esque feel to them. My opinion is, "How the f_ _k can someone offer a review to a show from a webcast?
