As an old fan of the band I often worry about how people who didn't have the
good fortune to see them "back in the day"
will take to seeing them now, nice to hear it worked out for you. I remember
reading Jack Rabid's review of last years Irving Plaza show
where he pretty much trashed the band. I know for a fact he was a fan of the
band and to see him so disappointed after waiting 20 years or so to see the
band
was disconcerting to me.
