The show was good, but not great. The band sounded fine, although I thought they could have been louder. The crowd certainly wasn't into it as much as they were in the spring. The Thermals should lead off with Heres Your Future, A Stare Like Yours, Pillar of Salt, or some other tune that gets the crowd going. And Hutch should move back to stage right. He just seemed out of place on the other side.
I didn't see History, but I can report that Reporter were really bad. The first minute of the first song sounded promising, but once the chick started singing, it was all over. Her claims of "D.C. - you're fantastic!!!" and "D.C. - you guys were AMAZING!!!" were staged and pathetic.
