*Sigh...*  I was really underwhelmed by this show.  The first time in ages i
crawl out from under my rock and plunk down a 10 spot for some rock, and
this is how i'm treated.  Waaaay too much droning on about the election, and
the whole set was mopey as a result.  As my friend summed up the show,
"wow... that was really... uneven."

They really didn't get going until the fourth or fifth song.  Everything up
until that point was a trainwreck.  And I thought the sound was bad, too (in
the Rock Drums School of Mixing sense - did it need to be THAT loud?).
Everything did get better towards the end, though.  Some of Eitzel's more
delicate stuff came across better as the band got more comfortable.
