The entire Seattle show was horrible because the band did not play well at all during the first set. Like I said, I listened to the whole show again. The first set was still terrible. The second set showed improvement...but not enough to save it.

I offered the Eugene, Seattle, and SB1 paragraphs as a means of setting the parameters for my evaluation of SB2. My evaluation of SB2 is that it was the best show of the four played to date on the Fall 2014 tour. The first set was well paced, patient, cohesive. The second set featured some great jams, two thematic constructs, and high energy.

If you dislike my approach...please avoid reading my thoughts in the future. If you want me to dissect each song in obsessive detail...read the fucking song histories I have written. Better yet...feel free to offer up your own reviews of the shows and the songs in obsessive detail. I will be happy to read and critique those with equal vigor.

There is a simple solution to the ticket problem. Non-transferable ticketless entry. Don't buy a ticket you have no intention of using. The whole thing is a scam though. Tickets to these shows were released in reverse order. 200s first, then when enough of those were purchased 100s started popping up, when enough of those were purchased then floor tickets came available. I had friends who kept upgrading thinking they could get rid of the shitty tickets they were upgrading from. Didn't happen. Tickets on the ground...everywhere.
