 Ones that have gone up (I wish to accent the positive):
 
 Howie Day

Yep.
 
 However, Howie Day...he popped in at a show in Annapolis. Bleheh.
 
 Jewel with a frisbee. Plus, yelling at a little girl on Christmas Eve.  :p

Anytime Limp Bizkit covers a song.

anytime they incorporate latest fad like rapping, electronic drums [80s], synthesizers to everything... whenever they get all bon jovi and do the group-sing thing - all in harmony n crap.

  So are you saying the bands you listed were nice, therefore they went up a few notches?

Yes.  Keane, playing Fletchers (while having the number 1 single in the UK) were cool with the room, worked with what was there, and had no hissy fits.  Marcy's Playground were just really nice.  John Mayer, everyone thanked us after the show and were cool during the show.  Howie Day, solo acoustic and again, nice, friendly and easy to work with.  And I can't forget Superdrag thanking me by name at the show (I booted it too).
