hmmmmm- myself- well I thought the show was a little flat last night- but great to see them. I twasnt in a best of mood's so maybe that was tainting my feelings. Something seemed off with them on stage- 
It did have its moments though as they were starting to get their stroke towards the end. Kings and Queens was awesome-
 I thought the mix of songs they did was great. 
 I guess I like them to play with a little more production. Better light show,bigger stage,  fog and all- it seemed so stripped down and their sound was pretty muddy at times.  
 I like Jaz's outfits better on the last tour. He kind of reminded me of an overgrown kid looking like he was dressed up for Halloween with a homemade outfit. But something to be said for that also. 
 If I can get it together ill try to get to Baltimore tonight-
