Let's face it, the nosebleed section at the Hollywood Bowl isn't all that bad. I do not need to see Matt Berninger sweat when he reaches those low baritone notes. It's not as bad as when I had watched the off-Broadway version of Avenue Q at New World Cinemas in NYC and the actor puppeteering Nicky was spitting all his S's.

Bloodbuzz Ohio was great. Conversation 16 was better. Was slightly disappointed that Exile Vilify wasn't played, but made sense since an obscure easter egg song in a video game likely wasn't on the radar of the majority of concert attendees here. Shout out to the couple next to me who shared a bottle of red with me when Sharon Von Etten took the stage with The National.
