This review was fine. He did something different with the tiers instead of straight rankings. Sometimes people, myself included, have trouble with something different or with change. It doesn't really matter anyways. Its supposed to be fun. Ranking and rating shows should just be for fun.
The shows that really stand out for me are the first two he mentioned: Dicks 1 & Alph 1. I agree those two shows were at another level. Musically, plus energy of the band and crowd, for me were the best shows. Then there were a bunch of other very solid shows (in no order): Merriweather 2, Raleigh, Gorge 3, Alph 2 & 3, Dicks 2 &3. Overall the band played very well, and with great energy, this Summer. Fall Tour is close at hand too!
