Just got back from the show! It was great to hear SFAM in it's entirety live again after 20 years. Man... time flies, eh?
I was in Row F, about 10 rows back and in between John P and James. The mix was decent, perhaps a bit harsh at times but nothing to cry or complain about.
The whole band performed amazingly, as usual. No gripes at all there.
The crowd was kind of disappointing though. The venue was maybe 3/4 full and seemed quieter than usual for a DT show at the Ikeda. My friend and I were more than once the only people standing in a large patch around us.
The people to my right seemed annoyed and irritated that we were cheering, putting our hands up and singing along at the top of our lungs during songs like "Home", "Nightmare To Remember" and "Finally Free". The people behinds us repeatedly screamed "SIT DOWN!" and "DOWN IN FRONT". We obliged them once and only once during "Through Her Eyes". The rest of the time we ignored them, although it kind of tainted my night. I mean.. we were in a front and center, close to the stage section. WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN?
After a car ride home and now half a mixed drink, I'd opine that maybe us OG DT fans are getting old? It's a depressing thought. But I saw a LOT of young people there, so that was encouraging.
