I was there, it was a fun show. The sound was decent, it was NOT great. 
"Decent" there was 4 steps up from the usual "Crap", so maybe you were just 
relatively amazed at the decency. Or maybe it was the X...

That was possibly the only show there from which I left the venue not 
completely pissed off that the venue exists and that I paid to go.
