Yea, i noticed that too. I saw them twice right b4 they released the new
record and once since then, and it started to get old because they
pretty much did the show the same way every time. It sounds like it's
still the same situation a year later. Not trying to blow the wind out
of anyones sails, just don't expect anything all that different the
second time around. I'll always remember that show at the Knitting
Factory as the single best live show i have ever seen...chances are,
i'll probably go see 'em when they come with Goodie Mob...
