Caught 'em in Pittsburgh and Cleveland, no problems getting gear in. If you have a problem, ask for the tour manager - dang, I forget his name.
If you're gonna run up front, keep everything very low profile til the lights go down, otherwise you're likely to get booted to the back of the venue. They don't like people running up front blocking people's views. Though they usually play in small enough places that even the back of the venue sounds nice.
Good luck!
