Yep, agree with everyone. The Palladium is really not that great of a venue, it is too bad so many shows end up there. The upstairs is pretty cool, certainly has a closer connection between fans with the band. The worst part is the sound, sometimes it is good...most of the time it sucks. There are not too many other venues I could see them playing at, mainly because they are just too big (Tsongas Arena was awkward...but that was not really their fanbase, Centrum does not fit at all). It would have been great to see them play at the old Lupo's again, but the new Lupo's at Club Diesel in Providence is pretty neat also. I saw Porcupine Tree there two weeks ago and it was a great show.
Too bad, too bad, too bad.
