Ugh, that show.

Bought lower level tickets for way over face value after the WH gave me horrible seats, which I sold at the venue for enough $ to buy a few beers with.

And the show was not worth the price I paid for those tickets.

[Jsc6545]

Yeah I paid face and overpaid

Brutal show

[UrsadonDMB]

WH gave me 2nd to last row for that United Center show and practically behind the stage. Just terrible, felt bad because it was my little brothers first and only show.

My seats weren't quite as bad, but it was also my little bros first show. He was typing out the set list on his phone he had a good time so it was all good.

I had to save all of my bitching for ants so I didn't ruin his experience

to the bolded, my brother had a lot of fun. Luckily Christmas Song and all the new AFTW songs I hadn't heard were enough to tide me over until I got home.

Really want to get him out to a summer tour two night stand so that he can see what it's all about.

[crashintonickdm]

i can't imagine that united center show being my first show. it looks so awful.

[Owly]

These replies are making me laugh. The boys have really butchered some songs in their day!

It should be a rule that if you've witnessed 3 events in this thread you get 2 free tickets to a show of your choice...

The Entire 6/6/01 Performance from Turner Field...I can't even tell you how many times Dave flubbed lyrics to songs, which doesn't bother me...what was crazy was seeing LeRoi looking extremely angry with Dave onstage...it was hard to watch. I'm surprised that no one else mentions this show. I remember leaving the venue afterwards and hearing everyone comment on how terrible the show was..it was eerily silent walking out as well.

The Rapunzel from Va Beach 2010 was almost a complete train wreck. Good set overall though.

[imarami]

Bitch from Camden '08 is the worst single song performance I've ever seen. Not that the band necessarily fucked it up, it was just so random and completely ruined the end of the show. Id take Shake Me over that to close a show any day.

I went to that Nissan show and then to the Burgettstown shows a month after, which were great. I'm still dumbfounded how you can pay the same amount for a ticket to see the same band and have such polar opposite experiences.

[artiej1120]

Dave royally fucked up Seven at the Gorge this year. Not the worst performance, but everyone around me mockingly applauded when he didn't mess up the next chorus.

[Dannyyankou]

Lol, amazing how he can fuck up a song he plays every other night.

Ughh yeah, that looks horrible. Only good thing about this show seems to be the E1 Warehouse, but Boyd was flat out brutal on it.

DMB went Eh Hee crazy in 2012

Song kind of worked at radio city but full band is awful

[bartender_man]

I actually don't mind Eh Hee as long as it's not played to often

[The2SteppingPig]

I'd throw this in for consideration. Sick skree Boyd.

I was at that show and I think it's the second-worst show I've seen behind this one at Blossom in 2007: http://antsmarching.org/tour/ViewShow.php?ShowID=3750. Outside of the Two Step opener, there is a lot of bad in there.

As far as the 2012 show at the UC, it was very flat. The band drifted through the show with very little energy and Dave's voice was really rough that night. I remember him saying "I feel like I have a dinosaur in my throat."

[cooke726]

Tim absolutely shreds on Eh Hee...im not crazy about the song..but its definitely not a song that I dislike hearing now and then. I cant stand Squirm as an opener...or at all really, that guitar always gets my hopes up for Shotgun or Idea of You, so Squirm is always a huge let down
