other stuff going.

Dammit, Raj. I wanted to meet you too. I can't believe we did the same two shows and didn't meet.
I don't think you were 3 rows behind me during the show though, cause I was in the second row of the pit all night! Got to do the high-five thing with Karl when he came down to the rail after the end of Nuxx.
As far as the crowd energy, I'm not sure what it was like in the reserved seating area, but it the pit it was great! Actually, it started off really slow. I think between all the new songs and improvs at the beginning of the show, the crowd didn't seem that into it, and I was afraid it was going to be a really bad show. I kept turning around and seeing everyone around me just standing around. But once Pearl's Girl started, and then definitely from Two Months Off and onward, I think the crowd energy just got higher and higher. And the band responded too. Karl was bouncing off walls, of course, but even Rick was jamming behind the board, singing along to Karl's lyrics, and even running in place (during NUXX). Based on the last half of the show, I felt that overall it surpassed the New York show.
