It has been over 10 years since I last saw the Toadies live and they continue to entertain and amaze me. With numerous albums to choose from, I was pleasantly surprised that they played many songs from Rubberneck.
Downside - The opening act Ume, may be a wonderful band, but the sound was off and their entire set sounded like crap. At first I thought it was just me, but the second Helmet took the stage they realized something was wrong and made the sound guys take care of the problem before they continued to play. Unfortunate that Ume's performance was lost due to bad sound.
Helmet, a band I am not familiar with, was great. Their energy was high, nice interaction with the crowd, and they just look to be having loads of fun on stage.
