My friend is interested in catching them again and I'd be game after some time. For want of a really poetic way of putting it, I enjoy their music so much that I'm a little nervous that at some point I'm going to be disappointed. And after the seats I had for Phiily's show, the bar is very high to match that experience.

Honestly, seeing them two nights that close together and with essentially the same playlist kind of took the edge off the AC show a little. Seeing them in Philly after last seeing them ~2.5 years ago just seemed... better? Fresher? Maybe just the anticipation of seeing them after that long.



I said the same thing to my friend on the way down to AC. He and his girlfriend left at the intermission in Philly because she wasn't really into the music, and I think I described it to him as kind of fun to see DC obviously enjoying himself but it came off as kind of self-indulgent. The gong solo thing especially seemed way over the top; at least it's the first song after intermission and doesn't interrupt the flow of the show as much as if it was part of the main set. After seeing it played in AC, he and the other guy who came with us said they agreed totally.

BTW, there's a guy who seems to hit EVERY show in the Philly area who posts concert videos on YouTube. No idea how he gets away with it at shows with strict camera policies but he has a bunch of songs from Philly. There's another Youtuber with a different name (Tito Santana?) but the same avatar who has some videos posted too.

ETA: Forgot to mention, I'm assuming because of the smaller venue they didn't have the side screens on Friday night, just the main one.
