I absolutely could not enjoy a show in that enormous crowded concrete box of a venue - never mind that it was located a million wintry miles from civilization. Really appalling venue. I can only assume tons of out-of-town bands must be crushed when they see the space. I think the Docks should really just stick to raves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395294324589385160.post-17801260898516715112008-11-30T12:40:00.000-05:002008-11-30T12:40:00.000-05:00thanks for your comments also. ha, i'm pretty sure...thanks for your comments also. ha, i'm pretty sure the hipstersnob comment does not apply to you, simply because it sounds like you were never into the whole jam band thing, (as i am) so therefore what you feel could not really be considered backlash, just honest opinion. and i enjoyed the show but not as much as i did in the past. i'm quite content with this one being my final BSS show (at least until they're old enough to be playing casino rama or something...)Bobby Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03047710463528569228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395294324589385160.post-52744054905742125852008-11-29T22:05:00.000-05:002008-11-29T22:05:00.000-05:00Hmm.

Kevin Drew's arrogance seems to get a general love him or hate him response. I love him but I know many that hate him. I agree with you though as far as the zoo like atmosphere of the crowd. Coulda done without that. I did get quite the chuckle from your observations though. (At the risk of sounding old man-ish, man you shoulda seen them back in the day.)Bobby Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03047710463528569228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395294324589385160.post-5700508359231244822008-11-29T21:43:00.000-05:002008-11-29T21:43:00.000-05:00Oh man I hate big shows.
