The auditorium waited in near silence for them to come back out and finally play "Carry on my Wayward Son"....it wasn't an Encore...it was just "OK guys, come on out and hurry up and play the damn song so we can all go home already"...I'm pretty sure its not considered an Encore if nobody is cheering for you to come back out.

Worst show ever by far.

Aaron told me he knew Gene and Dean Ween in college or something like that. I think Ween is pretty awesome
I saw Kansas once many years ago. I don't remember it being as bad as you describe.

Worst show I've ever seen.... Dave Matthew's Band. After the shooting at my school (Virginia Tech) we had a concert thing the next semester. Dave Matthews showed up and proceeded to do the most boring show I've ever seen in my life. Had I paid to see it, I would've been pissed. John Mayer, on the other hand, came out and did a blues type show and was awesome. Even Nas put dave matthews to shame.
