I won't tell you about my drive through a blizzard to Albany *or* Binghamton in 1995 if I don't have to read reviews from folks whose 5th show this is...

If this was someone's 5th show, good for them! Being a long term vet doesn't make you better than anyone else. Gatekeeping=uncool.

Besides, after 12 years of 3.0....there is a Baker's Dozen for your Island Tour, Dick's 2012 , Magnaball, etc, etc...lots of shows that stand up with previous heights. Things are different yeah but the guys still blow minds.

My point was-talk about the music! Describe it, whether in musical or descriptive imaginative terms. Seceral folks in tbe comments did so. I don't have the time to listen to every show as it goes so I like to hear what I shouldn't miss.

I don't mean to be "gatekeeping" but also don't come after us salty old dogs from the 90's who love this band so much we could just about hug the pants off of them...
