There was a reference in another post that this was a "short" show
compared to others. Since I didn't see the play list from the Chicago
show or other shows, does "short" mean number of songs and/or length of
show?? I know they were on for over 1 1/2 hours last night. How does
that compare to other shows?
The last half of the show felt like a cross between a heavy metal and
punk rock performance - pretty intense compared to the other half dozen
times I've seen them. Some back stage guy told me they decided to keep
playing because they were on a roll (don't know if this is accurate or
not). Have there been any other shows with only 1 or 2 encore songs?
The show was great. I'll take a repeat performance in Madison Thursday.

<br><font face="arial,helvetica"><font size=-1>I got to Summerfest about
7:50 pm. I had expected to get there earlier so I was starting to
get anxious on the bus ride over to the grounds. I made my way over
to the Potowatomi Stage and it was already pretty packed! I've never
been to a music festival this big so I didn't really know what to do.
I was sure that Indi and Todd the Oilman would be at the concert but I
didn't see anyone in the front row. I finally found a seat in the
second row and parked my butt there for two hours. (Going alone to
a open-seating concert makes it really tough to decide whether to go to
the bathroom or lose your seat!)</font></font>

we expected to SIT for an Oils show?!? But as soon as the Chesterfields
