Muddy sounding room... Great set though! I think they set the tone for umphreys!!!

Yeah the sound was definitely off, more so for Umphrey\'s in my opinion. Drums (in particular the snare) sounded terrible. I have seen UM many times and they never sounded like that.
I didn\'t really notice the sound being an issue during Kung Fu, which is good.

I met KF\'s mixer (I forgot his name already) before the show in the lot, he was hangin with 1 of the 2 tapers that was there (mvallo being the other)... right off the bat he said the room was terrible sounding from when they sound checked.
From where I was during KF, the the low tones were definitely one homogenous rumble throughout the gig and I think it just had to do with the acoustics of the room. The sax and mid range keys were a bit hard to hear at times because of the wash of the lower end sounds. Timmy\'s guitar, when Rob belted, Adrian\'s kit(which other than the snare, I was suprised at how well all his toms cut through), and when Stoops played his upper register sounds came through clear as day though!
As for UM, they definitely seemed to pick up right where KF left off and kept it goin through the rest of the night! Happy times! You wouldn\'t happen to know the setlist by any chance? I\'m just curious, I know alot of the melodies of their songs, but I don\'t know enough of the lyrics or song names. 2 of my buddies are
**** with these guys so I\'ve been to a few sporadic shows and I\'m most familir with Mantis.

Sorry Duane, heres what I recall...
Gung Ho opened, there was a tune I hadn\'t heard yet in there, Letters to Bobby Portugal, Junoon, Chakrabarty closed at lightning speed!
There\'s probably 1 or 2 more in there, they played from 8-8:45. And sadly, no there were no sitins in either group.
I was bummed there were no sit-ins, but I would have been even more pissed if something happened after I had to leave.
thanks......that was getting tense
Wow, what a crappy venue! One of the worst sounding places ever.
Oakdale sucks. Thought I\'d be smart and save $10 by buying at the door instead of paying ~ $14 in fees. WRONG! Paid $31 at the door, what bullshit.
So I guess no more decent beer either. Here\'s your lineup at $10-$13 a pop:
Bud :vomit:
Bud Lite :yack:
Bud Lite Lime :vomit2:
Heineken :nope:
Heinekem Light:pukedon:
RU ser? Bought a $8 shot of Cab instead.
Oh and can someone explain why they took ALL the urinals out of the men\'s room? :wtf2:

The urinal thing was really odd. I do have to say as far as the beer goes, yes the selection was quite shitty. But with that being said, it was 10 bucks for a tall boy, so essentially it was 5 dollars a beer, which is definitely better than a lot of concert venues or sports stadiums. They definitely didn\'t need to charge three dollars extra for a
**** Heineken though. I was stuck drinking Bud Light, which I am never ever happy to do.
Apparently the food was
**** too. My sister-in-law took a bite of her nachos then threw them away.
The mens room was actually a womans bathroom when they use the main stage.... The legit mens room was behind the curtains that covered backstage... Therefore, no urinals. I feel bad for any women that sits on those toilets after seeing last nights mess...
I met KF\'s mixer (I forgot his name already) before the show in the lot,
That would be me.
Don, meet Krispy, Krispy, Don...
