John and I have been to 3 PT shows in SF. This was by far the best sounding and looking show we've seen. I opted for balcony seats instead of floor like John. The venue, the Warfield Theater, has 150' (at least) ceilings and being back aways (nearly dead center) with all the additional space above us, gave the sound more air and allowed for some separation. It was, at some points, as good as their concert DVD/BDs. The only criticism I have is that the bass is still too hot. The guy is too good, to sound that distorted. John was close to the stage and said he was clipping his amps madly. I know guitar players use that sound to shape riffs tonally, but every PT album, DVD A or concert features very clean and precise bass. Their shows don't feature that (that I've heard).
They borrowed the lights and lighting guy from C&C for this one night show. I think they may fire their own and hire this guy. Very impressive look for the band.
