My favorite TV show is "Name That Drummer!"

It's on every week and always leaves you coming back for more.

[Nick]

Every tour I think I have a new favorite show, so it's kinda hard to say.

[bobs23]

^ outside of the PA blowing up for about 30 seconds, it was the most intense performance I had ever seen DT do. The BTL jam was mind blowing. The Budakon version is similar to this one, but not remotely close in intensity.

[Nick]

Honestly, had I been at that show I doubt any others would have topped it.

[TAC]

That sounds awesome Bob. I missed the 6D's and TOT tours. Boston got great setlists on those tours. Seen practically every tour from I&W on, but sat out 5 years.
