Ok, maybe "shitty" was harsh. I do agree those shows were all fun (I mean, I haven't missed an area show since 94 I don't think), but in the last decade and a half, more times than not, setlists immediately before or after DC had way cooler shit.
Also, if someone doesn't want to hear a 30 minute version of Mushroom Festival In Hell, I'm sorry they have no joy in their life!
