As one would expect, this was a great show with what I would compare pretty favorably to the rest of the sets on this tour, although not the best. RVP went out and talked to us like two hours before the doors opened and we had a fun conversation for around 15 minutes. People were awesome, band sounded great (although I had some difficulties hearing Devin upfront, but that usually happens in this venue), all that good stuff. Got the setlist signed by the Dev and RVP after the show, along with pictures which I will post when:
A: It's not 2 in the fucking morning
B: My computer gets fixed (Using the school computers right now because my hard drive shit a brick).

I forgot to mention that Devin played last, despite being listed second-to-last. But the set times were virtually identical (fucking Station 4 and their curfews).

It was a great show. The one last October was better just because that was a true DTP headlining tour and it was all Dev fans, more intimate kinda. I too, had a hard time hearing Dev at times. Sometimes it all just sounded like one big wall and the only thing I could make out clearly was the drums, which sounded great the entire time. I wonder if the backing choir parts and all the reverb and shit were drowning the other stuff out. It could be Station 4's shitty sound system and acoustics. That place is full of "dead spots", where you just can't hear certain things. I miss the old Mirage in south Minneapolis. That place was great.

Anyway, the performance was excellent. I love how Dev parodies himself the entire time. I really, really like Grace as the closing song. It kinda sucks that there was no encore. But Grace just brings it all home and crushes in true epic fashion.

Talked to RVP and Dev after the show, both cool as hell, and ever-gracious as always. Dev is truly a master of interacting with the fans and dealing with people. I hope the drunk mosher who puked in the back alley 3 times made it home without hurting or killing anybody.

And it was damn hot in there. RVP said his foot was slipping off one of the kick pedals because it was covered in his own sweat. But the show last July, when they were one of the supporting bands, that one was hotter than FUCK. I remember my shirt weighed about 8 pounds...all sweat. I had to buy a DTP Deconstruction shirt because the shirt I had on didn't even look like a shirt anymore.

Anyways. Last night was another awesome experience and well worth it, as always.

Hoogie Boogie Land!

in case That Drummer Guy doesn't get around to it yet, I thought I'd pass along the interview he did with Devin.
