This was the BEST Particle show I have seen. It was only my 6th show though my 1st was nearly 3yrs ago. The band last nite is not the band I have been sooo skeptical of. The band last nite was spectacular. I finally left a Particle show knowing that I would def. see them again nxt time around.

Pow> One of these Days was one of the best opening gambits thrown by any band. Mind over Matter was truly melting.

2nd Set was plain sick!! I did not stop dancin\' the whole time. I was right in front of Steve losing all control. The jam to open 2nd set went places I have nvr heard Particle go. I had a few friends at the show like myself that are not all that into Particle but were totally happy to see these guys be less repetitive, more rocking and less techno beaty.

Crowd was good not as pushy as usual but then there was PLENTY of space to dance. They may not be my favorite band but I can say I had a freakin\' blast @ Particle and look for more in \'05.

lol sure looked like it. Also my buddy had like 10 people come up to him through the night telling him what a great set he had played. This was happening \'cause he looks like the acoustic guitar player for New Monsoon who opened the show. So funny watching him play it off too!
