You're right in that the heat isn't quite as bad in the back. I've decided that no show is worth braving the Gargoyle. It's just a horrible venue in every way and the crowds there are the worst. The last time I was there, for Ted Leo, there were 20-year-olds doing ring-around-the-rosy and just acting like idiots. I was like, I paid how much for this show?

I was actually pleasantly surprised in the Billiken Club - it had been a while since I was last there, and it was better than I remembered. I think the crowd makes a huge difference. Compared to the Gargoyle it's like you're stepping into the Pageant! I didn’t really have any problems with the heat, but then I mostly hung out in back for this show.

The Devotion album has been in heavy rotation on my turntable lately, but I wondered how it would translate live. I just wish the Billiken Club didn't make me feel sick/faint every time I go there. Why is the heat cranked up to like 120 degrees? Anyway, thanks for the You Tube posts. The show was a lot better than I thought it would be too.
