Sorry if this seems late, but my experience at the L.A. show was weird. I usually attend shows in Phoenix, but since I thought they wouldn’t show, I decided to take my chances in L.A.
The band performed wonderfully and it definitely made me smile. As for the crowd … I was in the 5th row on the left section of the pit. Everyone was pretty much dead, and / or sitting down and looking at the ground. Someone around us started smoking weed as the lights went out.
There were these people in front of me who talked (loudly) during Wait for Sleep, so that kinda ruined the song for me. There were also a lot of people text messaging or not paying attention (especially during the newer songs) and would only rock out to certain songs. Some girl next to us was club dancing the whole time. My girlfriend and I assumed she didn’t know what was going on because she continued to dance like that during Mangini’s solo. As long as you are having fun, right? lol…
I think there were about 3-4 people in the whole section (including me) rocking out the whole time.
