Saw the tour w/o Matt on 8/8 (Graham Colton opened and was really good) and it was not of one my better concert experiences.
The venue gave me crap about bring in my stuff even though all 3 are pro-taping. I had to go back to my car and conceal it. I ended up stealthing and only got the OAR set. The crowd was the WORST. During Howie, the drunken fratboys screamed "homo" and "O-A-R" the whole time. The guy next to me was passed out for all of his set. During OAR they screamed constantly and yelled out song requests without end (ever heard of a setlist?). My recording is on the Archive, but it reflects the above scenario.
The crowd basically ruined the night for me even though I enjoyed Howie (though I wasn't familiar with his music) and OAR put on a great show as well (no flames please).
