I just felt people still acted like they were at the rave or a bar compared to seeing an amazing band at a top notch venue. I was upset because all around it seemed like people were smoking grass / cigaretttes (in a historic non smoking theatre), drinking the cheap pbrs and throwing them on the ground to wash on other's feet, and just acting like idiots throughout the show (either talking to others or shouting stupid shit at the band). Grant it I was not in the pit, but I was 10 rows dead center.
The latest few shows I have seen at the Pabst had a more mature / music loving audience (eels, cline / kotche, neko case). I just don't want the venue to stop from having shows and it seems like crowds like keep showing up, a good theater will stop having them there.
I think the crowd really tainted my view of the show. Even to the point that it seemed 100% even suffered do to idiots trying to be cool and stage dive - I thought we did not have to relive the 90s, but I guess so. I even feel they cut things short just do to the crowds actions throught out the night.
I did think the new album sounded amazing and I am glad so many you enjoyed it.

Yeah exactly, I was leaning on the stage and looked behind me to see how big the crowd was and I was shocked that most people were just standing there like statues staring at the ceiling or something.
Bands feed off the energy of the crowd so they probably did cut things a little short becuz that crowd was the worst I have ever seen.
I also liked the new album, I'll admit that I had my doubts when I first got it but after seeing the actual people play the actual songs I was just blown away.
