In the back middle of the theatre was the biggest, most complex sound system I have ever laid my eyes on. It had millions of knobs and switches on a soundboard that was about twenty-five feet by six feet. There was an older, green puke looking computer hooked up to the soundboard.

As soon as they left the stage everyone started chanting, "We want more!" repeatedly for about five minutes. They ended up coming back on stage and executing one final song. I thought it was very awesome of them to do another song like that for
