One of the best I have been to. I had a great time and got to meet Gavin and take a pic with him but didn't go to the autograph signing afterwards because after traveling 6 hours to see him, paying to get a hotel for the night, buying three tanks of gas and food for 2 days, I didn't have enough money left over to buy anything from the merch table. I asked for an autograph outside and he told me he couldn't because he had to go in to the signing (although he took the time to pose for pics, the actual explanation of why he couldn't took longer than it would have to scribble his name, but whatever). He was perfectly sweet about it but make sure you have enough money to buy merchandise if you expect an autograph (not really cool, I think after spending 115 dollars for 2 tickets- after fees and mailing to your door). It kinda bummed me out but he was great to take a pic with me and I got a hug, which was way better and more important I think! He was really sweet and thanked the 8 of us that waited by the bus for coming to the show. It really was a great time! Entertaining... He has a new band that he started with in Gainsville, FL, so not much improv with the songs yet, but several sweet spots throughout the concert. He played several new songs from the new album. I knew all but three of them I think (true fans that have his live performance recordings will recognize most too). He played "Free,"Cop Stop,"Relative" and "She Holds the Key" (which he gave the impression were all on the album) from what I can remember, but also a few that were new to me, as well as the new single "In Love with a Girl." Well worth the money and would go again if I weren't broke! haha
Great Concert!
