This show was amazing (as always) yet diffrent from everyother show I've been to. It was diffrent in two ways. 1st, when ever Ben was telling a story, there was dead silence, which was really cool, because this is the first time I haven't has "ROCK THIS BITCH" yelled in my ear over and over again all night. The 2nd thing that made this show diffrent, none of the people in my area (right up front, stage right) seemed to know any of the lyrics/wheren't singing or anything....The only songs that got a big audience response was You Don't Know Me and Landed, and when any of the "fake tracks" were played, it just seemed like me and the band singing....weird..but also to those not singing, in their defense, it could have been just a first Ben experince for a lot of them and they haven't had the time to fully explore the Ben library. Anyways, it was cool to see two more members of the band on stage playing a bit more obscure instruments. The best parts of the night were the improvs, Ben retelling the story of how he and Leo climbed Mount Motherfucker (Mount Washington) in 2005, Fair, and The Bitch Went Nutz.

After the show Ben and crew were kind enough to stick around for signing stuff out by the bus.

That was nice to hear Ben telling his stories, but there were plenty of people around me yelling 'rock this bitch.' : ( i actually liked his improv on squirrel hill the best! And lullaby was AMAZING!!! i felt bad for some of the people further back than i was, there were MANY people there who i'm sure couldn't see anything... Metropol, i mean club M, i mean club zoo was way too over-booked
