Well...I just got back from what I've waited many years for. JBC back in Seattle. They were incredible. One problem though, there was a group of 5 drunken punks who portayed their redneck heritage well when they screamed "Yehaw" every 30 seconds. That was just the begining.... The continued through the evening yelling out stupid comments during the JBC's tamer moments (ie MAX's new song, etc..), spilled drinks all over other attendees and the ultimate topper, they through ice repeatedly at the band. I was completely embarrased and infurriated as I beleive the rest of the crowd was. At one point Pat said "Look were just trying to play some music". I believe the the band would have played much longer if it was not for this environment which they were subjected to. I blame the Crocodile Cafe completely. They should have hauled these guys out. They did nothing... to stop this. I am boycotting the venue because of this situation. It was very sad. I suggest others do the same.
All of this aside....the band was at their finest! Thank you Pat and Max for this "gift of music"!
